In today's episode, Laura and Sarah do a deep analysis of some common myths about working parenthood, from "A stranger will raise your baby!" to "You'll never get any free time every again" to "I can't take on this leadership role, I have (insert # here) kids!" -- and many more.

This episode goes out especially to anyone just beginning their parenting journey and wondering whether to believe the hype, but it's also valuable reflection for seasoned parents who continue to both enjoy work and life.

In the Q&A, Sarah and Laura chat about a question that came up recently through their Patreon (for more, visit http://patreon.com/bestofbothworldspod ) : "Is it okay to work less than 40 hours if I'm getting my work done?"
