episode 21: all good mat leaves must come to an end

Hey mamas!

Well, it’s the end of an era: we are both officially off maternity leave and “back” to work. Like paid work, I mean. Not just the 24/7 mom life grind. But I digress.

The point is, all good mat leaves must come to an end. And that’s what we’re talking about today in this follow-up to our all moms are working moms series. We’re bringing you two perspectives: Christy going back to working outside the home in her full-time corporate 9-5 role, with both kids in daycare, and Jenny working from the home as a mompreneur, with both kids home.

Listen in as we quiz each other about what we’re most looking forward to in this new phase, what we’re most afraid of, and what we hope our kids take away from each of our very different careers.

We also discuss how the working mom role has changed in the past few generations, and how the more domesticated dad role has evolved – plus the surprising things they have to deal with now. And also how it’s ultimately up to US to make the changes we want to see in our future job market, especially if we ever hope to create that elusive work/life balance.

So, however you’re working today mama, it’s time to take a much-needed break.

Let’s get to it!
