Is "Having It All" Even Possible? ft. Lia Higgins
from Long Story Short with Nicole Pellegrino · host Nicole Pellegrino
I know I say this every week, but this episode is a banger. I start off by divulging the answers to the very pressing question I’ve been in the field tirelessly researching: Which bassinet should we be buying? We then get right into the episode featuring our brilliant guest, Lia Higgins aka @onelitmama_. Lia has strong opinions regarding just about every notion you think you know about parenting, and she isn’t afraid to cut through the BS. I promise you, you’ll get smarter just from listening to her speak. We chat about her experience leaving her job in big law to be a mom, how and why the corporate world isn’t always conducive for moms to rise through the ranks, and what would need to be in place for moms to actually succeed and oh idk, enjoy their personal lives too? We discuss the notion of “having it all” - wtf does it even mean, and is it even possible? Lia gets vulnerable and shares her experience with miscarriage and a traumatic birth, and how she bravely shared it with the world back when those topics most definitely weren’t being talked about enough. Whether you’re a mom or not, this episode is truly jam packed with so much fascinating and valuable info, you’re gonna love it.
