How Moms Make It Work

She had it all—big career, smart kids, fancy job title. But it wasn’t working. So Alex Abramian made a change. What she found on the other side of that decision might just change how you think about motherhood, ambition, and what balance actually looks like.

In this very real conversation, Alex—a PR expert and single mom of twins now in college—offers the perspective that moms of young kids crave, candidly admitting that "something has to give" when juggling career and motherhood. She shares her journey of leaving The Hollywood Reporter (!!) to create a work/life rhythm where she could be the mom at home in the afternoon. Alex opens up about the emotional turning point of crying at red lights on her way to work, how her daughter's "you've become that mom" moment validated her career pivot, and the unexpected freedom of an empty nest that isn't entirely empty.

Let's be real: no one is doing it all. And if it looks like they are, it's because they've owned what they can and cannot do. The magic of motherhood happens when women like me and you vulnerably and confidently share how we do (and don't) do it all.
