| 0:13.5 | Hi, I'm Laura Vanderkamp. |
| 0:15.7 | I'm a mother of five, an author, journalist, and speaker. |
| 0:19.6 | And I'm Sarah Hart Unger, a mother of three, practicing physician, writer, and course creator. |
| 0:24.6 | We are two working parents who love our careers and our families. |
| 0:28.6 | Welcome to Best of Both Worlds. |
| 0:30.6 | Here we talk about how real women manage work, family, and time for fun. |
| 0:34.6 | From figuring out child care to mapping out long-term career goals, |
