To state the obvious: being a mother is a full-time job and we commend those who have a professional career while being a mother. Working all day to come home and make dinner, help with homework, and make sure the kids get to bed at a reasonable hour—it’s a heavy lift. Managing a household along while pursuing a career can be tricky, but it’s not impossible. These panelists are here to support that claim and provide us with some key advice that will leave you feeling inspired.

In this discussion, we chat about the backlash working mother’s face, the art of multi-tasking, transparency on the internet, and so much more. Tune in to hear what it’s like to be a working mother in 2019.
