from Work in Progress: Moms Edition · host Jessie Murphy, Sarah Moran

WELCOME to another episode of Work in Progress: Mom’s Edition! We’re Jessie & Sarah, and this week, we’re officially back, shooting the shit, catching up, and easing back into podcasting like it’s our first day after winter break.Like everything else in mom life, this episode is… delayed. Think of it as our podcast having a 2-hour delay, just like school did every single day this week (looking at you, Clive 👀❄️).We’re talking about surviving sick season, snow days, and the absolute chaos of trying to work, job hunt, or be productive when your kids are home nonstop. From constant interruptions to the mental load of holding it all together, this one is a very real look at parenting in survival mode.Before we dive in, we check in on how we’re actually doing, and of course, we wrap it up with Kids Chaos, because there’s always a story when everyone’s home all week.If your routine has been blown up by snow, sickness, or school delays… same. You’re not alone, and we’re glad you’re here.
