There's no denying that being a mother is a full-time job in itself, but when you add your own career on top of it, where do you find the time to add in passions and side hustles?

Host Lina Forrestal and high school teacher Melissa Pyrch talk about: 

• How to find the time as working moms 
• How to navigate the fear of failure
• How to not get lost in comparing yourself to others
• Learning how to "fill your cup" in ways outside of motherhood
• Learning to find your definition of self-care
• How to navigate imposter syndrome 
• How graduating high school is the start of adulthood

More about Melissa: For more than 20 years, high school English teacher Melissa has encouraged her students to go for their dreams and never quit on themselves.  While leading a motivational speaking class for a group of seniors in 2019, Pyrch realized she needed to be listening to her own advice.  And she began the journey to becoming a published author, starting with getting herself on social media and creating @pyrchgetspublished.  In addition to teaching and pursuing her author dreams, Melissa is also a mom of 3 and a fire captain’s wife. She has learned to make sacrifices and deal with obstacles head-on, which she talks candidly about.
