Work Life Balance Is a Lie: Motherhood, Career Guilt & the Pressure to “Do It All”
from The Nucking Futz Podcast: real life . real laughs . real talk · host Nucking Futz
We get brutally honest about the one thing almost every woman struggles with: work life balance … or the total absence of it. From showing homes while having contractions, skipping maternity leave, and signing deals during blood transfusions, to mom guilt, burnout, resentment, and that constant tug of war between ambition and motherhood … we unpack the real, unfiltered truth of being a working mom. We talk about raising kids while building careers, partners who step up, partners who freeze, losing yourself, finding yourself again, setting boundaries, slowing down, and that moment you realize … balance isn’t something you “achieve”… it’s something you survive. If you have ever felt stretched thin, torn between your kids and your career, guilty for wanting more, overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you are quietly drowning while pretending everything is fine …this one is for you. A must listen for every woman who has ever tried to “do it all.” Be NUCKING FUTZ™ with us — join the newsletter, ask a question, or apply to be on the podcast … all the good stuff lives here: www.thenuckingfutz.com Find us online: IG/FB/TT: @thenuckingfutz Find Donna: W: www.shesgotleggz.ca IG: @shesgotleggzz TT/FB: @shesgotleggz Find Melissa: IG: @iammelissahull W: www.mhullrealestate.com Brag About It Jewelry: IG: @bragaboutitjewelry W: www.bragaboutit.etsy.com
