Working Mom, Present Parent: Staying Connected When Life Is Full?

How do working moms stay emotionally connected to their kids when life is full and the to-do list never ends?

In this episode of Get On Their Turf, Dr Suzanne Simpson talks with business leader and mom Lisa Marie Garcia about the real struggles that working parents face. From long work hours to mom guilt and the fear of drifting apart from our kids, this conversation brings honest stories and practical tools to help you keep family connection strong.

Lisa Marie shares how she raised two daughters while leading a national company, navigating marriage, divorce, and big life transitions. She reminds us that kids do not need perfection to feel secure. They need a parent who keeps showing up with presence, honesty, and love.

You will learn:
 • How to stay connected to your kids during busy seasons
 • What secure attachment really looks like in everyday family life
 • Family rituals that build trust and togetherness
 • Why vulnerability helps children feel emotionally safe
 • How to let go of guilt and grow confidence as a working parent

This episode is for every mom who wonders, Am I doing enough?
The answer is yes. When you lead with love and connection, your kids feel it.
