In this episode, we explore the concept of leadership and give helpful insights for mamas who aspire to become inspirational leaders - whether that's leading hundreds of team members, the PTA, or your own family!

We discuss the qualities that define successful leadership and reflect on our own leadership experiences and what we've learned over the years.

We share practical strategies for nurturing your inherent leadership skills, including effective communication, building trust, fostering collaboration, and creating positive environments. We also address the unique challenges faced by working moms in leadership roles and candidly discuss how to integrate your role as a leader with your responsibilities as a mother.

It's our hope that this episode unlocks your potential to be the leader you always hoped to have.

You'll learn:

1. The impact a good leader has on our mental health

2. How to ditch the hustle culture that permeates corporate America while still being a good leader

3. How motherhood has changed the leaders we are - spoiler alert: we're more empathetic and understanding!

4. How you can take the lead and show up for the things and people that matter in your own life

5. How to invest and grow in your own leadership

6. What continuous learning looks like for us considering we will never be perfect leaders or moms - but we can do our best each day!

The tides of leadership have changed and accelerated during and since the pandemic - regardless of who or where you lead, we hope you can extract a few learnings to implement in your daily life.

Don't forget mamas - your superpower is knowing your own strengths and leading in your own way!

XO,

Jenn & Laura

Mama - do you ever feel like you are living in your own motherhood without the proper support around you? If so, you are most definitely not alone. It's 2023, and the concept of a "village" for families in the U.S. is not what it used to be in prior decades (or centuries!). Join us as we dive into the critical importance of having physical, mental, and emotional support in our lives as busy women (and moms!). We'll uncover why having a village is an absolute game-changer for not only our families but our sanity. We'll also share with you how we have cultivated our own villages in an era when they are not guaranteed and usually hard to find. Join us in reclaiming our village and thriving together as modern mothers!

Join us two girlfriends and working moms as we chat our way through the integration of motherhood, career, and life. We know that juggling a career and motherhood can be equally rewarding and exhausting, so we've created this podcast as a community where we can discuss the things that matter most - our kids, marriage, friendships, passion projects, and careers. We're certain that we don't know it all, but we want to have hard conversations - because there is NO single right way to do things and quite frankly, motherhood is a team sport. Together, we'll navigate the challenges and relish in the joys, with a healthy dose of unfiltered, unscripted honesty and humor along the way. Thank you for joining us. We're so thrilled you're here. ❤️, Jenn Cohen + Laura Demuth
