5 Truths Working Moms Want You to Know

I admire working moms. They have high standards, have high professional ambitions, and are highly talented. Even though they have incredibly demanding work and family lives, they also have very high standards about showing up at home for their kids. But there are things that no one really knows about them. The general public has somehow arrived at a lot of inaccurate conclusions about them. And sadly, this is a theme I see across the collective of women I work with. So I’m going to share a few things with you today about how working moms approach and go through life. All while keeping their high standard of showing up for their kids and maintaining their professional careers and ambitions. In this episode, you’ll discover 5 secrets working moms want you to know.
