Hey BA fam — this week, Mandi is back at the Brown Table with two of her favorite mama podcasters: Jessica Norwood from The Sugar Daddy Podcast and Rana Campbell, from Dreams and Drive.
We’re getting real about what it means to be a mom, a creative, and a corporate baddie in 2025 all at the same time. From burnout and baby wipes to balancing big dreams and meal prep, this is a love letter to every woman out here trying to do it all (and keep her edges intact).
No fluff, no filters — just honest convo about grief, ambition, community, and redefining what success looks like when you're raising humans and chasing goals.
We talk about:
-Why balance is a myth and why lowering the bar might just be the key to peace
-Making peace with slow growth and shifting timelines as a mama and entrepreneur
-Outsourcing, setting boundaries, and why folding kid laundry should be a group sport
-The grief of losing support and the power of building your own village
-Raising emotionally intelligent boys in a chaotic world
-Saying “I’m a mom” with your whole chest even in the workplace
Takeaway Quotes:
“You can outsource everything but love.” – Jessica
“I’m not scared to say I’m a mom — and I need to leave early because my kid has a talent show.” – Rana
