We're back with our deep dive into documentation at work. We break down five documentation strategies (real-time timestamping, objective note-taking, pattern tracking, and celebrating wins). Lacey shares how meticulous documentation saved her during an HR investigation and helped her address workplace issues. Then Mal sheds a cute lil tear as we tackle the boundaries between work, parenting, and maybe a third baby—and catch up on what we're watching.

Content warning: This episode includes a brief discussion of postpartum mental health struggles and mentions of a tragic case.
