We're taking a bit of a summer break and revisiting some of our favorite episodes! This week, we look back at our conversation with Carrie Benson.
Some days go really well and some days I end up crying at 9 o’clock because I feel like I was bad at my job and bad at momming. If you’re a parent chances are you have felt this way. In this episode, Susan, John and Adriana talk to Carrie Benson on the triumphs, challenges, and beautiful moments of being a mother working outside of the home. Please know we are intentionally choosing the word “mother” rather than parent because Carrie, Susan, and Adriana are speaking from their lived experiences as cis women parents, and we invite parents of all genders to join us for this conversation.

About Who We Are Inside
From the publisher's feed
We all have the people we present as in our different spaces, and then we have who we actually are on the inside. The important parts of who we are on the inside may change, but we are expected to…
show up as the same on the outside. We recognize that maintaining both who we are and who we are expected to be is exhausting. This podcast provides space for us to share who we really are and invites us to be human instead of being all these roles that we are asked to be on any given day.
