Emily Oster is here - economics professor at Brown, 3x best selling author who debunks all your parenting myths with DATA!!! She wrote Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm.

We talk about how you can worry less about your parenting decisions, how moms can think about deciding their career path to find better balance and that even though working makes people happy and parenting makes people happy - we’re not twice as happy when we do both! So Emily is here to help us find the path that’s right for us (aided by data!).

Plus Emily and Kim do a rapid fire with questions like: should you drink when pregnant, how much screen time should your kids have and how to get your kids to eat veggies. Lastly, Kim acknowledges she is lucky her husband uses data to make decisions in their household so basically their home isn’t a clown show all the time.

For our Real Mom Moment, Licensed marriage and family therapist turned money mindset coach Jacent Wamala joins us.

This week our inspirational mom guest is…drumroll please…our host - Kim Rittberg! Special bonus she's also bringing 15 years of her media experience to teach you professionals & business owners video strategy and on-camera tips.  

Kim spent 15 years climbing the ladder in TV and digital media; she was an ambitious mom leading a 17-person digital video team at Us Weekly Magazine after 15 years in TV news, Netflix & PopSugar. Her work-life epiphany struck while shifting uncomfortably in a hospital awaiting the birth of her second child while simultaneously reading resumes—she had to rebuild her department after a messy acquisition. 

On this episode Kim details her journey of realizing she wanted control of her career, and that she didn’t need a boss to give her permission to lead the life she wants. Kim gets real about the challenges of slowing down, being present, imposter syndrome, the fear of failure and how her identity was wrapped up in her work. As she quit corporate, she began meeting other moms also desperately seeking fulfillment and flexibility–on their own terms. So Kim birthed Mom’s Exit Interview for them–for you–as a resource for inspiration and action!

Kim now runs an award-winning video strategy and on-camera media training company - and loves helping professionals and small business owners find clients, leads and grow their business through high-quality content.

"Why did we go through this adoption process? Why did emotionally, financially, why did we do this if I'm only gonna see my kids on the weekend?" Ever have the feeling that you’re a full time employee but only a part time parent? You’re not alone! Scout Masterson and Bill Horn, AKA "The Guncles" to Tori Spelling, felt that way. After they adopted their daughter, they realized just how little time they would be spending with her—so they quit their high-stress Hollywood jobs and went to work for themselves at Marque Communications. Running their company hasn’t always been easy, but they wouldn’t trade that time with their kids for the world. 

They're also offering their top 3 pieces of expert PR advice and the dos and don’ts of growing and scaling your business through publicity. HINT: We want to hear about your fabulous product, not your son’s track meet!

And former TV anchor turned on-camera coach Lynn Smith shares a very embarrassing potty training story which comes with a #boymom PSA.
