From mydomain.com, this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today I'm speaking with New York Times bestselling author, screenwriter,

and mother of three, Kelly Oxford. For those of you who don't know, Kelly was a stay-at-home mom

turned super successful writer, and I love both of her books, including Everything's Perfect

When You're a Liar, and when you find out the world is against you and other funny memories

about awful moments.

Kelly is incredibly hilarious, truly insightful, and she's someone I've been a fan of for years.

You are so many things. You are a mom. You are a writer. You are a not okay activist. You are the co-creator of mean tweets. You're one of my favorite people to follow on social media, period. And I feel really incredibly lucky to have you with us today. So thank you for coming on Second Life. Thank you for having me. I'm really happy to be here.

So one of the things that I really love about your story is the fact that you went from being a super young, stay-at-home mom, to being your family's primary breadwinner and having this crazy cool career writing best-selling books, writing for TV, writing for film.

And you're still very young. So, first of all, color me impressed.

Thank you.

But I want to go back to the beginning.

Before you became this wild, outrageous success, I want to go back back, back to Canada.

Back to Canada.

Back to where it began.

Yeah, back to you.

Let's get your origin story.

So before you became a New York Times bestselling author, and you were raising three kids.

Yeah.

And what was that like?

What was the plan?
