Today we talk about being moms who also work other jobs on the side. There seems to be some negative ideas around being a mom who has some side hustles, and we want to chat through how we work as moms and why we chose to do it that way.

It's hard to be a mom, but it's also not impossible. Eren and Ashley talk flexibility in work structure, some of the downsides, but also the incredible help in community.
