This working mom is not just one of our favorite moms, but one of Amy’s ride or die moms. You know the friend you could call any time of the day for any reason, and even with a baby attached to the hip and two other hanging off her, she’d find a way to be there for you? That’s Jaclyn.

Jaclyn is the real deal. She’s a mom of 3 young boys, Caeden (4), Tanner (2), and Bryce (1), and the wife to her husband Scott. She is a Nurse Practitioner turned Medical Spa Owner in Howell, MI, where she helps hundreds of women prioritize self care through not just medical spa treatments but health and wellness guidance to top it off. 

Listen in to hear how Jaclyn manages all the emotions she encounters on a regular basis  [joy, fear, guilt, excitement] and how she prioritizes self care for herself. And, how the heck she opened up a spa while working two jobs and having babies! 

Costco talk, mom fails, and more - this conversation will speak to your soul! 

Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

This working mom episode is for all our manufacturing moms! This mom is an inspiring and admiring example of the personal and professional sacrifice moms in manufacturing have to take to navigate and excel in an industry that historically has been male dominated. 

Haley is a mom of two young girls, Ellie (3) and Lucy (1), and the wife of her husband, Joe. Haley has worked her way through press rooms, plant floors, and seasons of constant change. She’s built a beautiful family while never wavering in her commitment to her career, earned her MBA, and never stopped taking care of herself along the way. 

How does Haley manage The Mother Load?

Listen in to hear the REAL and RAW side of being a working mom in manufacturing - mom fails, work guilt, mom guilt, sacrifice and the village she couldn’t live without. Be inspired - because this chick is inspiring. 

Stay fierce friends, and know you are enough.

Meet the two working moms behind the mics at The Mother Load Podcast. Amy and Lauren. From the moment Amy and Lauren met - they knew they were put on the same path for a reason. It wasn’t until months after their first professional podcast meeting, where they bonded over brunch and realized something big was brewing. 

And here she is. Our little podcast. 

While we bring humor, realness, and unapologetic truth to the load mothers carry, Amy and Lauren hope and pray that they inspire, motivate and encourage other working moms to be true and speak truth to who they are - inside and outside of the workplace. 

It’s time we all share our stories. How did we get to where we are while juggling the mother load? What support did we have? What jobs did we pass up? What bosses and employers shut us down? How do we support our spouse, our kids and our careers? How do we truly find balance? Is balance even achievable? Does anyone even CARE that we are working moms with an invisible hustle and straight up super power? Why is it frowned upon? Why is there a stereotype of a mom in the workplace? Why are we filled with anxiety for asking for time off for our kids? Why is it so DAMN HARD? 

Let’s talk about it. Let’s tell the world.

Check out our new bi-weekly podcast starting April 3rd!
