Hello and this is Lindsay and this is another CEO mama episode and this one is pulled from the

archives of my podcast mother load and this is one of my favorite episodes because

it's about one of my favorite topics having it all, doing it all.

And this conversation, this is a short episode so I don't really want to ruin the punchline for you, but I do think moms and in general motherhood is kind of

this limiting factor or there's a lot of conversation and belief and projection out there in the cultural zeitgeist you know and

that once you become a mother you can't have it all,

that you will have to sacrifice,

especially when it comes to work

and that there isn't a way to have it all.

And I challenge that belief system in this episode.

And of course, you know, I'm not saying,

I would never claim that you can always have everything you want all the time in your way on your terms with no help.

Of course that's not what I say here or that what I believe, you know, even now two years later from when this episode originally aired, but I do think it's a really important

conversation around what does having it all mean and how do we determine what that definition is in our own lives and how do we frame that up in a way that feels good and gives us the choice to define what having it all means and looks like and what type of support enables us to have it all.

And I just, mostly this conversation is about not succumbing to the belief that it's not

possible to have everything that you want,

meaning the life you want, the business you want,

the type of motherhood you want,

with the relationship that you want,

and all of that, that just by nature of becoming a mother you have to expect that you won't be able to have it all.

And that's really what I challenge in this episode.

And so if you're a mama, I think it'll resonate.
