  • Loved it!

    EP 113

    Anokhi has a rare gift for taking something many moms struggle with and providing a great framework to work through it.

    The identity → beliefs → actions → results model can positively change how working moms experience work-life balance after motherhood.

    This episode managed to be validating, practical, and genuinely inspiring. If you're a mom in science or STEM who's ever felt like you're not enough in either role, start here, with this episode.
