01: Venn Diagram of Motherhood with Heather Bottom

Talking to actual rocket scientist Heather Bottom, a Space Systems Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, who recently finished working on the operations team for the launch and landing team of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. Heather and I met doing the Broadway national tour of A Chorus Line long before we became moms. And yes, we both still do the opening number on our time. We talk everything from the pressure of perfection in motherhood, show biz, and work to WANTING to go back to work after kids, finding parallels between various parts of yourself, and how it all comes together in a sort of 3D printed venn diagram. Heather also shares the best advice she received before having Maria...(hint: it came from me). This show is the perfect kickoff of Myth of Motherhood and how it doesn’t take rocket science to be the best mama for your baby. Enjoy!
