You wouldn’t think Barstool Sports would be the environment to embrace your pregnancy, but broadcaster and sports personality says otherwise. Encouraging colleagues, a supportive audience (minus the thousands of male followers who unfollowed her after her announcement), and a baby shower thrown by Dave Portnoy! It was all better than she expected, AND SO is motherhood, because quite frankly, Kayce NEVER expected it. She spoke openly about thinking motherhood wasn’t for her, but now, she’s absolutely in love with her baby boy.
She opens up about the struggle with mom guilt, balancing a high-octane career in a male-dominated industry, and the importance of self-care. Plus, she shares her journey of rediscovering herself after motherhood and the reality of being a full-fledged working mom.
Tune in for an honest conversation packed with relatable insights for working moms everywhere!
