Working Mom's S.O.S. Part 2 with Kacey Hartung

Mindfulness at Work

In this episode, we continue our discussion about working moms and the emergent need for support. We think there are two critical components to get right when it comes to being a working parent; Communication and Expectations.

We lay out the importance of communicating with your partner, your boss, your co-workers, and your kids. Kacey asks listeners to, "Please ask for help-people love to give it to you, including your kids, but you have to make it evident what you are asking for".

Sometimes dads don't know the extent of everything we do. Good managers would rather know the truth of your situation because the well being of their employees matters. We know women are not being supported properly because of the burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm they are suffering.

We further explore expectations and how to be intentional about them. We get busy concentrating on daily tasks and we forget what is most important to us.

Corporations need to address working parents. The struggle is finally being recognized EVERYWHERE. We are all asking, "Why isn't anybody listening"? Companies can't go back to business as usual after the pandemic is over. Kacey says "We really need to take care of each other". We sure do and we share some simple ways to do so in the episode!! Kacey is a valued team member of Cara Pollard Coaching and we further help companies support their parent employees through our corporate programs.
