The podcast is about pulling back the curtain on this whole working parent thing and realizing that no one has it figured out. Like our kids, we're all works in progress. I talk to people about how they make it work and enjoy.

    Episode 8. Rizwan Shah

    Rizwan Shah is a single father of 3 and organizational development practitioner. Riz spent over two decades of experience in the Military, and is currently senior advisor in a government agency. I always knew him as confident, insightful, gregarious guy who was very easy to talk to. In our interview I got a three-dimensional picture of a dad who takes both his parenting and professional roles seriously.

    Episode 7. Paulette Light

    In her recent piece in the Atlantic, "Why 43% of Women With Children Leave Their Jobs, and How to Get Them Back," Paulette writes: If you want high-achieving mothers back in the workforce, don't give us an office and a work week filled with facetime, give us something to get done and tell us when you need it by."

    Episode 6. Jocelyn Dunnavant

    "In addition to wanting a creative career, I also saw that being a hairstylist gave me a great deal of flexibility. I don't know many jobs where you can come back as slowly or as quickly as you want." Jocelyn is my hairstylist. She was en route to an MFA and academia. Instead she chose hairstyling to allow her more flexibility. She has a work-life fit that actually works for her. Listen to her talk about feeling generally satisfied with her work and life, feeling supported and proud of what she does. She's a happy working mom and she knows how rare it is. (It really shouldn't be.)
