Today’s episode is extra special—I'm joined by my daughter, Ella, for a raw, honest, and joyfully vulnerable conversation about what it’s really like to grow up with a working mom. From the moments I dropped the ball to the unexpected lessons she’s now carrying into college, this episode is for every mom who’s ever wondered, "Am I doing enough?"

In this episode: 

  • What it actually felt like growing up with a mom running a business
  • The infamous "forgot them in the rain" moment (yep, that happened!)
  • Why giving kids responsibility early can be a game-changer
  • Ella’s advice for working moms trying to do it all
  • How being real—especially on hard days—can build connection, not break it

Whether you’re in the thick of juggling work and motherhood or looking for reassurance that your efforts matter, this episode will leave you laughing, nodding along, and maybe even shedding a tear (I definitely did!).
