#235 - CNN host Kate Bolduan and former Glamour executive editor Lauren Smith Brody give tips for heading back to work after having kids.

Just back from maternity leave, Kate Bolduan gives us three momhacks for transitioning back to work. And Fifth Trimester founder Lauren Smith Brody shares lessons from her fun, comforting, and informative book: The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom’s Guide to Style, Sanity, and Success After Baby. We talk about changing workplace culture, the gender pay gap as it relates to mamas, how to ask for flex time, signs of postpartum mood disorder, and what to do if you have the sudden itch to quit. You may have first heard this episode in April 2018. It's worth a revisit! And it perfectly pairs with our recent podcast: Fair Play | NYT Bestselling Author Eve Rodsky on Rebalancing Family Responsibilities and Reclaiming Your Time with Eve Rodsky.
