I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately—and honestly, living it too.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about something I see over and over again with my coaching clients, and have personally experienced as a mom trying to build a meaningful career: there’s a structural mismatch between the way work is set up and the way families actually live today.

We’re expected to work like we don’t have children and parent like we don’t have careers. And for so many women—especially in dual-income households—it’s just not sustainable.

I share more of my personal journey in this episode: → what it felt like to step back from my career for a season → the messy (and eye-opening) process of reentering the workforce → and the real struggles that come with trying to "do it all" in a system that wasn’t built for us

I’m not here to just vent—I’m here to start something. A conversation. A shift. A movement toward something better.

I’m calling it The Middle Ground Movement, and it’s about reimagining work so it actually supports modern family life—flexible, outcome-based, and human-centered.

🎧 In this episode, I talk about:

• Why the old work structures just don’t fit anymore

• What I believe is possible when we start questioning outdated norms

• My vision for a better way forward—and how we can build it together

• An invitation to join me in this movement, especially if you’re local to Minneapolis

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to listen in—and if you’re nearby, I’d love to connect with you in real life as this vision starts to take shape 💛
