Summary
You asked, she answered! Last time I had my mom, Dr. Leslie Telfer, on the podcast you had SO MANY great questions for her! After she shared about her 30 year career as a psychologist who specialized in PTSD you wanted to know more. I asked her all of your burning questions about the parenting style her and my dad used, the way that she was able to balance her profession and her family, and strategies for finding your passion and purpose when you’re a busy mom. I’m super biased, but my mom is pretty dang cool. Tune in, I think you’ll find some nuggets of advice that you really love.

| 0:46.0 | and I am so excited to be on this journey with you. Hello, First Name Basis, fam. I am so glad you are here. So today I have a really special |
| 0:59.6 | interview to share with you. It is our third and final installment of our Women's History Month |
| 1:06.1 | celebration and I got to interview my mom. |
| 1:16.6 | So my mom was actually on the podcast last season, at the very end of last season, |
| 1:22.8 | and I interviewed her all about being a working mom, what it was like and how she handled everything. |
| 1:23.9 | My mom, all growing up, was a clinical psychologist. |
| 1:30.5 | She worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs and she specialized in post-traumatic stress disorder. So she had a pretty intense career and she also |

| 2:06.9 | I really want to ask her all of these different things. So I gathered all of your questions, |
| 2:13.1 | and I asked her. One thing I want to mention before I share the interview with you is that I want to give a |
| 2:20.8 | little trigger warning because we talk a little bit about suicide. And this isn't necessarily a |
| 2:26.0 | trigger warning. It's more for if you're listening with kids around. We do talk a little bit about |
