50. I Can Have It All, But Not Do It All: The Truth About Working Mothers

from Mom-Me · host Angela Tait

At 50 episodes strong, this podcast proves that motherhood isn't just about balance—it's about transformation, community, and rewriting the rules at home and in the workplace. In this milestone episode, Angela Tait reflects on creating a space where working moms can share raw truths about identity, energy, and support while also calling for systemic change in corporate culture. From rediscovering who you are after motherhood to setting boundaries that protect our energy, leaning on others, and advocating for flexibility and empathy at work, these stories highlight both the personal evolution of moms and the collective movement toward workplaces and communities that truly value them.   "Our real currency as moms isn't time, it's energy, and boundaries or how we protect it. So, a question for the moms, where do you need to say no this week so you can say yes to what truly matters?"   What this episode brings to the table: 50th Episode Milestone – A celebration of building a safe space for working moms to share honest stories about motherhood, career, and identity. Identity & Rediscovery – Motherhood isn't about returning to who you were before, but embracing who you're becoming. Energy & Boundaries – The real currency for moms isn't time, it's energy—and setting boundaries is how we protect it. Community & Support – Every time a mom shares her story, she gives others permission to breathe; it truly takes a village. Advocacy & Structural Change – Personal stories double as calls for workplaces to evolve with empathy, flexibility, and real retention strategies. Listener Favorites – Abby's mantra "I can have it all, but I can't do it all" (Ep. 14) and Jaymina's wisdom that "there's no one right way—it's all gray" (Ep. 8) resonated deeply. Collective Movement – Beyond being a podcast, Mom-me is growing into a community and advocacy platform pushing for cultural and workplace change.   Connect with Angela: Book a Meeting: https://calendly.com/talenttrek/prescreen Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelatait/ Check out my Website: http://www.angelatait.com Buy a copy of The Human Capital Playbook on Amazon!
