You're listening to the Gold Digger podcast episode number 317.

How is it that the year that I worked the least,

As I look back on this full year as a mom and a CEO,

I mean, you guys, I had an entire episode about reasons

Now, you might have heard me reference the mom club a time or two this year,

and really it's just an insanely long text thread with two of my friends,

Ashlyn Carter and Sarah Adler.

You might recognize their names because they have both been on this show before,

and we all connected in my mastermind last year,

and navigating a year of pregnancies together.

and it's been an honest lifeline this past year as we've navigated this new season of life

We call them our mini-podcast because we all tend to be a bit long-winded.
