The Pressure of Doing It All (Motherhood, Work & Real Wealth)

In this solo episode of Still Me, Also Mom, Alex reflects on what it really feels like to be a woman navigating career, motherhood, relationships, health, and everything in between.After celebrating International Women’s Day, Alex found herself thinking about the pressure many women feel to “do it all”, to be successful in their careers, present with their families, supportive partners, good friends, and somehow still take care of themselves along the way.Inspired by a recent read of The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom, this episode explores the different ways we measure success in life, from financial stability to time with family, health, relationships, and mental wellbeing, and how motherhood often forces us to rethink what “wealth” really means.Alex shares honest reflections about returning to work after having Isabella, hiring a nanny when she was just a few months old, transitioning to daycare, and the invisible support systems that help mothers navigate modern life.This episode is a reminder that there is no perfect balance, and that maybe the goal isn’t doing everything perfectly, but recognizing what truly matters in each season of life.
