Working Mom Hour Erica & Madeline

In Ep. 38, we have an emotional and enlightening discussion with Dr. Sherry Walling, mom, trauma psychologist and author of Touching Two Worlds. We share our personal experiences with grief, and discuss how to navigate our needs in motherhood and the workplace. We also chat about the life lessons that grief has taught us, and how to help our children to handle their heavy feelings in healthy ways - like a good cry. Join us!

Join us as Marla turns the tables to interview Erica and Mads about how they're applying lessons learned from some of our favorite episodes from Season 1 into their daily lives. Because when you hear a great piece of advice, you can’t just listen and leave it, right? We share reactions and insights from:
(1:05 - 10:30) Dr. Karen Sheffield-Abdulla from Episode 29, who taught us why high-achieving women tend to put aside emotions in business, and how to counteract this feeling with holistic health practices, putting us in a mindful trance along the way.(10:35 - 22:10) Jenny Zook of the Confidence Collective on Episode 22, who gives a few closet clean-out tips and why every woman deserves to feel like a badass.(22:15 - 27:05) Teresa Tanner from the Reserve Squad from Episode 21, who gave every pregnant person at her top 10 banking company access to a personal concierge during and after pregnancy.(27:10 - 33:50) And Dr. Nicole Pensak of Episode 17, who taught us about the amazing “Mom Brain” and "Matrescence" and how we can work with our bodies to optimize this important period of growth.

In Ep. 37, our PR day jobs and Working Mom Hour worlds collide as we interview Vandana Sinha, Editor-in-Chief of the Washington Business Journal. For 16 years, Vandana has worked her way to the top of a prominent newsroom, while prioritizing her family and using her public platform to address important issues related to women in the workplace. She shares how she takes care of her team, her family and herself. Join us!

On Ep 36 of Working Mom Hour, we're talking about gender bias in the workplace regardless of motherhood with Rachel Bauer of Gild Collective. Who is it, when a working parent leaves for kid pickup, that picks up the “slack?” We explore both sides of feelings of resentment among coworkers, how biases can cause barriers to growth in the workplace, and question: is the grass truly greener? Join us!

We talk about how Danielle dropped her husband off at rehab for weed and how she went from hating it to studying it to being a full-fledged canna-mom. We talk about America’s hang-up with pleasure, and all things parenting and cannabis - how we got started on our journeys, stigmas, that can come from using and how it can elevate us as mothers!
