Juggling a high-stakes career and motherhood might feel like threading a needle with closed eyes until you build the right support system around you that can take care of your child when you are away or unavailable. We are joined by Akanksha and Swati once again for this episode where they continue to share their solutions to the complex puzzle of finding trustworthy childcare.
As we traverse the parenting landscape, the conversation takes a turn toward the delicate interplay between parental control and caregiver empowerment. Don’t be surprised if you realize that meticulous childcare planning, is complete with spreadsheets and contingency plans!
Join Lochan and her guests as they discuss:
- Micromanaging childcare as the primary caretaker
- Navigating parenting dynamics with grandparents
- Bringing bliss amidst the chaos and control systems
- Building the right influences around your child
- Overcoming mommy guilt and emotions when at work
The episode is a must-listen as it is filled with a reflection on redefining our careers post-parenting, advocating for the pursuit of work that not only fills our pockets but also our souls.
