Not Your Mommy
Katie Ruddell + Liz Hammond
Katie Ruddell and Liz Hammond are two working moms searching for the answer to the question: How the f**ck are we supposed to do it all?!We were both looking for entrepreneurs sharing how they navigate motherhood and owning a business and it didn’t exist, so we’re here to create it for you! Sit in on our honest conversations about finding work/life balance, hot tips, wins, all the failures and the stuff you're already thinking about (but might be afraid to say). We also (heavily) dabble in popculture, moms in the media, and chat with some inspiring moms and entrepreneurs to hear more about how they’re making this working mom thing work. This isn’t just another mommy podcast. This one’s for the mom who is redefining what work looks like and who needs a laugh or a reminder that they’re not alone. This one’s for you. New episodes every Wednesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
