We’re not experts. We’re not coaches. We’re sisters—a first-time and second-time mom—sharing all the things we wish someone had told us before we had babies. Lived and learned experiences, passed from sister, to sister, to sister. This podcast came from the nonstop conversations and 3 am text sessions we were already having, thinking “is it just me, or...?”. Turns out it’s all of us. Whether you’re pregnant, taking care of a little one, or looking to support someone who is, we hope this podcast helps you feel less alone and more supported in this universal—yet sometimes isolating–experience.

Back to life, back to a new reality: returning to paid work after mat leave

It’s a big season of change over here—after 13 months off of work, Kasandra’s wrapping up mat leave and heading back to paid work. That means 2 kids in daycare, 2 parents working full time… can we do this? 

We don’t know yet! But in this episode, we’ll talk about closing this chapter (pour one out, a bottle my baby never took preferably), what we’ve done to prepare for this new one, and of course—how we’re feeling about it all.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Starting a baby at daycare and how we did the transition

  • Setting up our household for two parents working (the practical prep we did, but also the emotional prep)

  • Our current daily routines—how we plan to make work work

  • Reflecting on maternity leave and what’s to come in this new phase of life 

  • The first day back at work after over a year away (first-day jitters and a year's worth of Sunday scaries!)

  • Trying to remember how to do your job after living a completely different life for over a year

  • How both parents at paid full-time work impacts family dynamics (eg., am I still the default parent?)
