This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hi, I'm Laura Vanderkamp.

I'm a mother of five, an author, journalist, and speaker.

And I'm Sarah Hart Unger, a mother of three, practicing physician, writer, and course creator.

We are two working parents who love our careers and our families.

Welcome to Best of Both Worlds.

Here we talk about how real women manage work, family, and time for fun.

From figuring out child care to mapping out long-term career goals,

we want you to get the most out of life. Welcome to Best of Both Worlds. This is Laura. This

episode is airing in late November of 2025. We are going to be talking about dreaming big, the idea of creating time and

space for thinking about your future, about planning the upcoming year. In particular, we're

going to be talking about our recent experience with Best Laid Plans Live, which was a fun little

get-together that Sarah and I were part of a couple

weeks ago. But first, this is airing the week of Thanksgiving. Sarah, do you have any

fun family traditions or anything you're doing this year? Yeah, we're doing our kind of usual

Thanksgiving this year, which doesn't involve travel and is fairly low-key. My kids are off for an

entire week, and that has been the case

for a few years now, except for one random year when the Montessori school decided we'll open

half a day on Monday. And that's it. But beyond that, they realized that that didn't make any sense.

And so the public schools, the private schools, pretty much everyone in South Florida is off for the entire week of Thanksgiving.

And we plan to stick around. We have some family gatherings planned.
