Love this new podcast!
This has become my new go-to podcast! Brandy
So relatable!
I love this podcast and the interesting topics Brandy and Shenandoah talk about. Especially episode 12, with Sue Downey, as I am also part of the LGBTQ+ community and have struggled with this specific work/life balance in the past. I actually have experienced the hypothetical scenario Shenandoah mentions towards the end of the episode- my employer didn’t know I was queer and during a conversation he expressed that he would never hire a lesbian to care for his daughters. I didn’t say anything at the time. A year or so later I became engaged to a woman and no longer wanted to keep that part of my life a secret so I had a conversation with him. Needless to say, he was shocked- maybe even a little embarrassed- and still wanted me to work for his family. It’s now been almost 7 years. We don’t agree on most social/political topics but he sees the value in having his children around people with diverse views and beliefs. I have two years left on my contract and will be sad to go once it’s complete 😭 On another note- I’d love to listen to an episode on navigating a nanny career while also starting your own family. Thank you!!
Fresh topic!
Interesting topic! Brandy and Shenendoah are so interesting. So fun to live their adventurous free spirited lives vicariously through them. Never knew being a nanny was so interesting!
