🎙 Breaking the Silence: Why Working Moms Need to Support Each Other in Corporate America

In this vulnerable episode, Audra dives deep with Corporate Recovery Specialist, Caren Cooper, to uncover the often hidden and challenging experiences faced by working mothers in corporate America. Caren, who transitioned from corporate life to entrepreneurship, shares her journey through the relentless pressures of "doing it all"—balancing career and motherhood without a support system. Together, they explore why it’s crucial for women to unite, share their stories, and lift each other up in a world that often leaves working moms feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Highlights include:

🌟 The Reality of Corporate Pressures: Unpacking how hustle culture and societal expectations impact working moms
👩‍👧 Balancing Motherhood & Career: The push-and-pull between career ambitions and the guilt of not being “enough” at home
💬 The Power of Community: The importance of connecting, supporting, and speaking honestly with each other
💪 Permission to Be Real: Giving yourself grace and releasing the pressure to “do it all” perfectly

This episode is a rallying cry for working moms to shed societal expectations, embrace their identities, and lean on each other. It’s a must-listen for those seeking connection, authenticity, and a community that understands the unique journey of being a working mom in today’s world.
