Lady Party

The Realities of Work Travel for Moms with Amazon’s Kiesha Clayton


Listen Later

We're diving into what it’s actually like to be a mom who travels for work—and no, it’s not all glamorous airport lounges and fancy hotel rooms.

Our guest, Kiesha Clayton, has built a powerhouse career in corporate communications and sustainability at Amazon. She’s rubbed elbows with Leonardo DiCaprio, John Kerry, and even King Charles—oh, and Matt Damon knows her by name. But at the end of the day, she’s just like the rest of us, trying to balance work, family, and the ever-present mom guilt.

We get into all of it:
💼 How she stays connected to her family while jet-setting for work

✈️ The best (and worst) parts of constant travel

🤯 Mom guilt—how much is societal, and how much is self-inflicted?

👀 The double standards between working moms and dads

👜 The only travel essentials worth packing


Takeaways:📍 There’s no perfect formula for balancing work and family—it’s a constant negotiation.📍 The guilt? It’s real. But sometimes, we’re our own toughest critics.📍 Moms who travel are judged way more than dads. (Shocking, we know.)📍 The right support system makes all the difference.📍 A good black blazer and a killer rewards credit card can change your life.
