Welcome to Part 2 of the Military Mamas mini series! This week Alicen and Hillary hear Haley’s journey of becoming a mama while in the military and her decision to end her military service.

There is so much love and admiration in this episode, a beautiful way to wrap up the military mamas mini series.

Mother and daughter, mentor and mentee, work friends turned forever friends, this week’s episode is truly special. Join Alicen and Hillary as they talk with the first A+ Alison in Hillary’s life and her remarkable daughter Haley. Both started their motherhood journeys in the military and continue to be career-driven mamas. Alison shares her story of joining the military, becoming a mom, and pursuing a career after the military. She considers how she “did it all” and Haley reflects on how that lifestyle influences her today. Their stories touch so many familiar themes - identity, community, sacrifice, expectations, and love.

Well, this podcast promised to be real, authentic, and vulnerable and this week you get all three. Alicen and Hillary talk about burnout at home, and in true podcast universe fashion - the topic has never been more relevant than right now. While career-driven mamas are usually striving for success, sometimes survival has to be good enough. One day at a time, mamas.

Hey Career Driven Mamas! Everyone is home from the ICU (thankful and grateful for all the support!), so we are back with a new episode.

This week Alicen and Hillary talk with Alicen’s long-time friend and former “Direct Supervisor,” Jen Ulferts. Jen shares her story of becoming a single mom in college, adjusting her professional goals, dealing with big emotions, and proving to everyone she was not a statistic. As if that weren’t enough, she was doing all of this while Alicen was wrecking her car, causing issues at work, and eating all of her snacks.

Mamas, join Alicen and Hillary this week as they uncover the beautiful repressed memories of motherhood and laugh through all the sh*t no one tells you! Make sure to take notes as Alicen explains her tried and true “subway sandwich  method” passed on from sister-in-law Liz. They discuss the importance of sharing motherly wisdom with new moms and debate the nuances of who and when and how much. This episode even has a tip for dad!

From grief, to humor, to taking it one day at a time, Abby emphasizes the power of community and the significance of being seen. This episode is truly aspirational and a beautiful display of grace, acceptance, love, and the superpower that is being a mama.
