In this solo episode Jenny delves into the themes of gratitude and her evolving thoughts about the 'Mommy Track'. Jenny discusses how to reframe the concept of the 'Mommy Track' to empower and celebrate women who choose non-traditional career paths at different life stages. It's a conversation about acknowledging the strength and resilience it takes to balance family life with professional aspirations, and how this balance should be seen as a powerful choice, not a compromise.

Drawing from personal stories, the wisdom of Nora Ephron and insights from the world of work and motherhood, Jenny explores how stepping out of the workforce or opting for part-time roles to care for children is an act of courage and ambition in its own right. She discusses how platforms like The Second Shift are playing a crucial role in supporting women through these transitions, offering them the flexibility to define their own career trajectories.
