Episode 2: “You’re Not The Mom Your Mom Was, & That’s Ok.”

In this episode of Working Moms Redefined with Denise, we explore the beauty of working moms—both inside and outside the home—and how every version of motherhood holds value. The mission is clear: to help you feel like a great mom while loving your career, without letting guilt steal your joy. We dive into a powerful conversation about meditation and reflection, asking deep questions about sadness, guilt, and the labels we place on our emotions. Why do we feel guilty for leaving our kids? Who says it’s wrong to feel this way? We unpack the stories we’ve been told about motherhood, including personal experiences of growing up with a stay-at-home mom who shaped life around her children’s needs. With humor and heart, we also touch on a recent conference in Arizona—where a moment of laughter helped reinforce the importance of this mission. It was in these conversations that Working Moms Redefined truly began to take shape, and in this episode, you’ll hear how this podcast was born from a desire to empower moms to live fully—without guilt weighing them down. Join the conversation and take the first step toward embracing the working mom life you love, on your terms.
