I want to thank all the women who I interviewed, and my co-host Dori, for their inspiration. I learned that although so much has changed for working moms, so much has remained the same. In my new podcast 'Overcoming Working Mom Burnout', I want to challenge that status quo. Drawing on my own experience of burnout and my behavior change science, I will interview working moms who are thought leaders to help me find and share Mindset and Managerial Solutions for Working Mom Burnout.

In this episode, Isabela describes her immigration from the Philippines in the 1950s, the culture shock and abuse she suffered. She describes surviving, being a single mom and eventually working to help other women immigrants. Her story, recorded before Covid, made me think about the women and children who might be subject to greater abuse due to the lockdown. Please call 1-800-656-4673 if you need help.
