Is "Corporate America Crushing Senior-Level Mothers"? Or Did We Girl Boss Too Close to the Sun?!

Cayce is leveling up in motherhood, Ashley has a breakup announcement, and we are FEISTY today! You can be very certain that AI was not used in the creation of this episode or any other, but: what is the multiple of "platypus"? We promise this is not turning into an article-reaction podcast, but we have another article this week, and please buckle up. We're responding to the viral Fast Company article, "Corporate America is Crushing Senior-Level Mothers," which is pretty much a direct slap in the face to last week's hopeful Wall Street Journal piece. Is the solution truly to burn it all down, or did we just girl boss too close to the sun? Cayce has a PSA regarding meal prepping, Ashley is back to being sweary, and spoiler alert: we do say the word "nipple" in this episode. You've been warned! But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we have a new shero: Shamim Noorani Gillani, SVP of growth and client success at Carrum Health. Shamim, we don't know you, but we are claiming you as a Messy Bestie. Then, we play a little game of "this or that," and can we all collectively agree that toilet paper goes over, not under?! (That one is for you, Ashley's mom. You are so perfect in so many ways, but you seriously need to get your toilet paper in order.)It's real and it's funny, and sometimes it's real funny. But also, it's no joke! Rate, review, comment, and follow along as we bring The Normal Mess to the masses! We'd love to hear from you:Instagram & TikTok: @thenormalmessEmail: [email protected]
