We are excited to create a space for moms – from all different backgrounds and careers – to tell their stories and inspire others. Today, we talk about friendship, careers and how a mutual love of cheese boards inspired us to start MomGoals! We give a taste of what’s to come in future episodes by asking each other the hard-hitting questions, like how we make time for ourselves while juggling careers and raising babies, what our latest obsessions are and our tried and true mom-hacks. 

  IN THIS EPISODE:

• [00:36] Introduction
• [01:58] How being a mom changes your career
• [03:12] Love of cheese boards
• [04:17] What have you done for you lately?
• [10:43] Latest obsessions
• [15:25] #MomGoals and best mom tips
• [18:50] Amanda’s mom hacks 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• #MomGoals is a space for moms to tell their stories and inspire others.
• So many times women are defined by their careers or being a mom, we want to show how multidimensional women can be as they balance careers, parenting, and more! 
• Becoming a mom is a major life transition that impacts every aspect of life. 
• It can be hard for moms to put themselves first before their children or family, but that is sometimes the best thing to do for yourself because then you have more energy for others.
