Welcome to The Savvy Working Mom podcast! This is the space where we share strategies that help you create a life you truly love. I'm your host, Whitney—a real-life working mom in the tech industry, professional speaker, and coach. Each week, I provide simple systems and valuable insights to help you balance work and motherhood while finding joy in both.

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Maria Hara Wu, a physician, advocate, and educator dedicated to diversity, equity, and anti-racism in medicine. She is the CEO and co-founder of The Collective for Anti-Racism in Medicine, an organization committed to dismantling racism in healthcare. Alongside her work, Maria is a mother of two beautiful daughters and shares how she navigates the challenges of being a high-achieving mom in a dual-physician household.

Maria opens up about a memorable experience with daycare and how society’s assumptions about motherhood affected her, even within her own family dynamic. She talks about how we, as working moms, often become the default parent and how to push back against societal pressures to find our own definition of motherhood. Plus, Maria shares the importance of self-reflection when it comes to balancing career, family, and personal time.

Tune in for a powerful conversation filled with insights on career, family, and defining motherhood on your own terms! 🔥 Listen now and feel empowered! 🔥
