Episode #26: To My Male Colleagues, Schoolmates & Friends, Confessions with Morgan

In this raw confession session, Working Mother Experience's Founder, Morgan Craig-Broadwith shares a piece of her experience balancing the culmination of her Executive MBA, kids and a newborn. To be clear, this is not an angry anti-man rant; in fact, Morgan strongly detests those type of rants as they serve no purpose except alienating and othering. Yet, in this relatively short confession session she highlights the importance of acknowledgment, of reaching out to your male or female colleagues, schoolmates or friends who are the primary caregivers to acknowledge what they are managing and experiencing. In doing so, it may help others be truly honest about how they're doing; even better, it might make them feel appreciated and honoured. No, nothing revolutionary, but something near and dear to her heart given some recent experiences over the last few months of a new mother of three. We all have an opportunity to reach out to those we care about, to acknowledge their experience and give them space to be frank about how bloody hard it can be raising a small human and balancing other demands.
