    Motherhood First: Designing a Career Around What Truly Matters – with Dr. Tamar Shtrambrand

    In this episode of The Working Mom Show, I’m joined by Dr. Tamar Shtrambrand — private practice owner, mother of three (including teenage twins), and a powerful example of intentional growth. Tamar has always been clear about one thing: motherhood comes first. Instead of squeezing her family around her work, she consciously reshaped her career around the different stages of her children’s lives. And that required courage, difficult decisions, and letting go of old identities along the way. We talk about: The turning points behind her career transitions The fears that surfaced — and how she moved through them How her definition of ambition evolved over time What balance actually looks like in different seasons of motherhood The tension between growth and presence And what success means now, in this stage of life This is a grounded, honest conversation about evolving identity, aligned decision-making, and redefining ambition on your own terms. If you’ve ever felt the pull between professional growth and family priorities, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to sacrifice one to honor the other — but you do have to choose consciously.

Dana shares how Pinterest can be a powerful, long-term marketing platform for women who want visibility without constant hustle.

Together, Klara and Dana explore how strategy and self-trust can coexist, why “quiet growth” is often more sustainable than fast wins, and how working mothers can create momentum without burning out.
