Working moms are told they can do it all, but no one tells them how—until now. Dr. Whitney Casares, a board-certified pediatrician and author of Doing It All, joins Kendall Berg to dismantle the myth of balance. She breaks down why working moms aren't just juggling careers and kids—they're carrying an invisible mental load that's setting them up for burnout.

Whitney explains why perspective shift must come before strategy and shares her four-category framework to help moms reclaim their time without guilt. She unpacks the corporate penalties of chronic stress, why workplace culture still hasn't caught up, and how successful moms are making smarter career choices. Whether you're a high-achieving mom or someone trying to support one, this episode changes the way you see success.
