Show Notes

"I want to bust the myth that you can't be ambitious and a go-getter and be a good mom at the same time." -Bethany Braun-Silva

In society and even in popular TV shows, working and career driven women are often portrayed as choosing their careers over their family — which is simply not true and a negative stereotype of working moms. For me, being a working mom fills my cup in a different way. I love doing something for me and believe that working makes me a better mother because I feel so fulfilled from working on a team and for a great company. On the podcast, Bethany shares her experience and her journey through working motherhood.

Topics Discussed in this Episode: 

  • Bethany's working motherhood journey
  • The stigmas surrounding working moms
  • How Bethany interviewed 8 months pregnant 
  • How being a working mom improved Bethany's mental health and gave her an outlet to be more creative

  • Lina's experience with gestational diabetes
