Working Parent Wins: Podcast
Working Parent Wins is a short-form podcast spotlighting real working parents who are navigating full calendars, big careers, and busy homes — often all at the same time.
Each episode features honest conversations about the challenges of juggling work and family, the systems and services that actually make life easier, and the small (but meaningful) wins that help parents keep their heads above water. We talk about what’s working, what’s been outsourced, what’s been simplified, and what advice our guests would give to other parents who feel stretched thin.
This isn’t about doing it all perfectly. It’s about sharing practical ideas, real experiences, and hard-earned lessons so working parents can learn from one another — and feel a little less alone in the process.
Whether you’re looking for a new time-saving tool, a mindset shift, or simply reassurance that the juggle is real for everyone, Working Parent Wins is here to help you find your next win.
Episode 1: Ashten O’Malley
Welcome to the very first episode of Working Parent Wins — and we’re starting exactly where we mean to continue: honest and unapologetic.
In this conversation, I sit down with Ashten O’Malley — full-time working parent of two and children’s book author — to talk about what we’re no longer willing to carry as moms.
We get into:
The things that have actually made our lives easier (not just “productive”)
What we’ve intentionally stopped doing
The invisible expectations we’ve quietly dropped
And the things we will no longer apologize for
This isn’t about being perfectly balanced.
It’s about being strategic.
It’s about choosing what deserves our energy — and letting the rest go.
Because “doing it all” was never the goal.
Unapologetic is the new motto.
If you’re a working parent who’s tired of absorbing everything silently, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
Welcome to Working Parent Wins.
