Welcome back to Diary of a Working Mom! This week we were so blessed to sit down virtually with our friend, Natalie Niksa. Natalie is a beacon of wisdom, a nurturing soul, and a force for transformation. As a teacher, mystic, nurturer, mama, and Napa Valley chef, Natalie's journey is a testament to the power of reconnecting with oneself through astrology, human design, and the gene keys. Through her own experiences, Natalie discovered the profound impact these modalities have on self-understanding and relationships. Armed with this knowledge, she's on a mission to empower us to embrace our true selves, fostering love, patience, and compassion in our lives and families.

In this part two of our conversation, Natalie shares insight to the working relationship between your hosts, Chelsea and Erin! Get to know us a little bit as we open up about how the two of us have had a working relationship for over a decade how and how it is constantly changing and growing!

Welcome back to Diary of a Working Mom! This week, we sit down with communications professor Rebecca Putt to delve into the multifaceted world of communication within the context of parenthood and the workplace. Whether you're a new parent or navigating the challenges of returning to work post-baby, this discussion offers invaluable advice on regaining confidence in your professional role.

Rebecca shares strategies for effectively communicating with both children and spouses, drawing upon years of expertise in interpersonal communication. From active listening techniques to fostering open dialogue, you'll gain practical tips to strengthen your family connections and navigate the complexities of parenthood with grace.

Tune in to gain invaluable communication skills, challenge traditional gender roles, and cultivate confidence both at home and in the workplace.

On today's episode of Diary of a Working Mom, we sit down and talk to our friend Jen Patterson about raising genuine kids, navigating bullies (whether your kid is one, or is being bullied), and just authentic friendship and what that looks like. Parenting is tough, and it takes a strong mom and parent to admit that maybe your child messed up, own up to it, and move forward. Teaching our littles to do so, starts with us. Do we think it's possible to ban together as moms to create a community of kind kids in this hard world? We're all just simply doing our best. We hope you enjoy some insight to just regular moms chatting about our hopes for our kids, admitting our faults, and being able to grow from our mistakes.
