This podcast makes me want to be bold and brave as I venture into new the unknown with business, motherhood, and just life in general. Can’t wait for future episodes!.

If you’re a mom in STEM, the pressure isn’t subtle. The work rewards deep focus, long hours, and constant availability—while motherhood runs on interruption, logistics, and emotional labor.
So you do what high-achievers do:
You try harder. You optimize. You hold yourself to an impossible standard.
But you don’t need more hustle. You need a plan that accounts for real constraints.
Science Careers for Moms is your reset.
Twice a month, you’ll get a blend of actionable career planning strategies and honest interviews with other moms in STEM. Together, we'll discover how to make a meaningful impact both at home and in your career.
On the podcast, you’ll learn how to:
- Set clear career goals in science & tech that fit real mom life
- Use practical work-life balance strategies for scientist moms
- Make your next career move with confidence (not burnout or guilt)
You’ll walk away with clearer priorities, a stronger “what’s next,” and the sense that you can have both…because you’re building both on purpose.
Wondering how to pursue your career goals and be there for your family?

If you’ve been told “work-life balance is a myth,” I don’t buy it.
Women in STEM shouldn't have to choose between being a good scientist or a good mom.
What’s true is this: if you’re measuring a whole life with work-only metrics, you’ll keep feeling like you're failing —even when you’re doing heroic things.
This podcast is for moms in STEM who want a better model: one that treats constraints like data, lets you stop white-knuckling your weeks, and helps you make confident career decisions that honors your whole life.
You'll also meet other scientist moms and problem-solvers ready to share their stories and solutions with you.
