One of the more tricky parts of being a parent (working or not) can be finding and affording childcare. Unfortunately many of us in the states aren't close to family and small communal situations are not the norm.In this episode we talk openly about the realities behind moving between work, personal life and childcare duties. We dive into personal stories as well as practical and creative tips for everything from handling unpredictable baby schedules to managing the mental shifts that come with constantly switching roles. If you are a working mama we touch on how hybrid and work-from-home setups can support AND sometimes challenge the delicate rhythm between career and motherhood. Whatever your situation is: flexibility, community support, and leaning on a trusted circle make a world of difference. Tune-in for some inspiration and let us know your thoughts and ideas too! Because balance isn’t something you find once; it’s something you keep creating as life changes.00:52 The Reality of Working With Baby at Home04:31 Why Split Attention Feels So Draining05:58 Personal Stories and Experiences 17:12 Creative Childcare Options Beyond the “Traditional” Path13:12 The Power of Rhythms vs. Rigid Routines24:00 Final Thoughts + Encouragement for Working ParentsPast Episode:Back to Work After Baby: Honoring Emotions and Finding EaseRhythms and Structures vs. Time and SchedulingHave questions?
