The Working Mother Experience Working Mother Experience

Meet the amazing Angela Anderson, Communications Director for The Working Mother Experience, ultra runner, adventure-woman, senior leader and momma. 

We talk about having children 12 years apart and how Angela has evolved as a parent - she's more chill, and yet, less tolerant of toys and Lego in her house (she doesn't want to go through getting rid of all the toys again; any parent will relate).

We talk about the parallel of hiking in the mountains to parenting - how we move through waves, the highs and the lows of both journeys, the frustration and pain to the extraordinary joys and spiritual connection. Angela speaks to creating two pieces and how her paintings have evolved over time; she encourages all contributors and artists to revisit their art piece. 

  We hope you enjoy this beautiful conversation with Angela.

Today on the podcast we connect with the incredible Cedna Todorovic, a Calgary-based portrait photographer. But Cedna is so much more than a photographer, she captures the majesty of the person, their history and their desires in just one pose. We cannot express how special this woman is. 

Cedna talks about taking the leap from Oil and Gas, where she was never able to truly express and be the person she is today. While running her own business is exhausting, and incredibly more demanding than her previous role, she shares the meaning is so much greater. 

Any time spent with Cedna is time will spent. She is brilliant, humble, creative, and authentic. We hope you enjoy!

Today on the podcast we meet Sarah Fowler, a tech industry mom who is raising her daughter in an idyllic mountain town. 
We talk about living away from family, traveling with and without kids, the importance of solo trips, and how it really helps to have a village of supporters to raise our littles.

On the podcast we connect with the incredible Katherine Sinex, a deep thinker, an engineer with a passion for human behaviour and training in psychology, a negotiator (listen to the podcast for more on this exciting element of Katherine), creative, and so much more. 

We travel back in time to Katherine's work in New Orleans navigating long days, commutes as a dual-income family with a young baby and no family support. 

We delve into our own "supposed tos" as parents - what we think we should be doing that we aren’t really in alignment with - and how we navigate ourselves through those decisions. 

Katherine shares about her art, the white space and its meaning and how she's navigating a very big decision she and her husband made for their family and son. 

We cover many themes, moments and ideas and are so excited to finally share this conversation with the world. We hope you enjoy!

Today on the podcast, we meet Julie Hawco, a community-minded change agent who wants better for working mothers and families. 

Julie is the founder of The Stem Moms Project, an initiative that started out to better understand why STEM women are leaving the workplace (amongst many other things) and what workplaces could do differently to offer better support and resources. While she published the report just last year, she was surprised at the secondary outcomes of this work - the participants' insatiable desire for community. 

Julie talks about how this work has shaped her goals for 2024, shifting from outcomes-based to experience-based, how we must be rigorous in our check-ins to ensure we are doing the work that fulfills us (to ensure we are overachieving in the right direction), and so much more. Julie drops knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb in this interview. 

Thank you, Julie, for sharing your story and for all the work you are doing to support other working mothers.
