152. Childcare, Mom Guilt, and “Doing it all” a Real Conversation about Life as a Working Parent with Lina Forrestal

In this Labor Day special episode, we sit down with Lina Forrestal to dive into the intricate world of working parents. We emphasize the importance of workplaces accommodating the unique needs of parents, striving to balance family and work as top priorities.

We explore the desire to contribute to the workforce and earn income while reshaping corporate America to foster flexibility and inclusivity for both parents. We address the critical need for more women in the workforce and discuss the challenges of childcare, including the soaring costs of daycare.

Lina shares her experience of navigating "mom guilt" and her exciting journey into expanding her family. We emphasize the importance of chasing what lights you up and not being defined by just one role, recognizing that working is a form of expression.

We offer insights into managing work schedules with purpose and fulfillment, the quest for reliable childcare, and the reality of burnout.

Finally, we encourage listeners to explore the endless possibilities and harness the power of their minds while making priorities, reframing perspectives, and finding balance in the pursuit of it all.
