Welcome to After Hours with Amanda, the podcast that is about parenting, but not strictly about

parenting. That's why we call it after hours with Amanda, because we talk about it all, because

God forbid, I find a catchy name for the podcast and call it that and pigeonhole myself into a topic.

For those of you that are just visiting us, welcome. What can you expect from this

podcast? Well, besides me being hopefully over-caffeinated in a few minutes, a few rabbit trails

and a topic that hopefully lands at the end, I have not done ads yet. So you can expect me to

talk for the entirety of this episode. You can also expect, there we go, perfect example,

bloopers in episode, because my technical skills and my ability to complete a project do not

lend themselves to me editing an episode and then publishing it. Because if that was the case,

if I had to redo these episodes in any way,

shape, or form, they would never happen. I would never upload an episode because I would just

stall out. So if you're here, you know what to expect. Buckle up Buttercup. It's time for

another episode. We're here. We're talking about it like i said there's a

lot of things that i want to talk about and i want to try and be that cool person that breaks them up

into episodes or series or things like that but usually i just have to share what's on my heart

and sometimes i'm even like oh good i three topics. That'll be like three great

episodes. And then I dump all of my thoughts in one. So let's just get ready. Let's dive into things.

And I know a lot of you have certain episodes you want me to talk about. And I am going to talk about

the episode that has been requested lately, which is how to go back to work and how to deal

with the, for some, this is not all. Some people are thrilled to go back to work and how to deal with the, for some,

this is not all.

Some people are thrilled to go back to work after having their first child.
