Lauren Goodman has an eight month old daughter, works for a real-estate firm where she handles fundraising and sits on two boards. All that to say, she is doing a lot of things, all at once. We chat about life as a first time mom, the transition back to work after a 16 week maternity leave, how she creates time for herself and what a corporate work-life balance really looks like. I really appreciated my time chatting with Lauren because I met her through Miracle Milkookies, she subscribed for weekly deliveries when she first went back to work. I also appreciate Lauren's vulnerability and transparency as a full-time working mom and think the message that she shares will really speak to a lot of our mamas who are preparing to go back to work full-time after baby.

Dr. Molly Millwood is a clinical psychologist specializing in couples therapy and women's health. We discuss the transition into motherhood, the expectations for marriage after baby and attachment theory. Dr. Millwood shares what she calls the modern dilemma, that as women we are spreading ourselves too thin because we have been socialized to desire a career, yet also feel that we need to prove that we are a devoted full-time mom at the same time. Dr. Molly Millwood is the author of a book called To Have and To Hold, Motherhood, Marriage and The Modern Dilemma and it's available in bookstores everywhere.
