It’s EPISODE 20, friends! This is so hard to believe but I’m so incredibly thankful and excited. I heard a statistic when I started my show that most podcasts submitted to iTunes/Apple Podcasts don’t make it longer than seven or eight episodes before they stop. For me, this journey has been one where I’ve listened closely to the Lord each step of the way, and I’ll keep going until He says “stop.” I pray there are moms who are learning and feeling inspired from the show. I want to normalize the chaos of being a working mom.

Lots of folks were asking me to do a more personal type of “Q&A” episode, so here we are! When I asked for questions via submission on social media, I got a lot of responses, so I’ve selected some of the questions and answered them here in episode 20.

Here are some of the questions I’m answering in this episode:

  • “How do you do it all?”
  • “What is your favorite mom hack?”
  • “Do you miss being in private law practice or prefer being in education?”
  • “Do you still ice skate?”
  • “Any tips for buying a Peloton?”
  • “How do you get your guests?”
  • “How did I learn how to start a podcast?”

I’d love to hear your feedback about this episode, the show generally, or I’d be happy to take your questions for future Ask Me Anything episodes.

Thanks, as always, for listening!
