I'm joined by sister-in-law for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what full-time work actually looks like with three young kids at home.   We talk candidly about the seasons of motherhood that stretch your capacity, force you to lower expectations, and ultimately show you just how capable you really are.   You'll hear real stories from daily life as a working mom, including:   What a typical workday looks like with three kids five and under   How she manages early mornings, daycare drop-offs, and tight schedules   The reality of pumping at work and trying to protect that time   How she thinks about sleep, exhaustion, and managing expectations when nights are broken   The logistics of packing all the food for daycare—and the simple systems that make it doable   Why repetition can be a gift for both kids and parents   If you're a working mom juggling young kids, feeling stretched thin, or wondering if now is really the right time to make a change, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone—and that your capacity is likely greater than you think.   ==========================   🔗 Links & Resources:   ==========================    Learn more about coaching with Katelyn   ==========================   📲 Stay Connected!   ==========================   💌 Join my email list for weekly coaching tips & other resources ➡️ Subscribe to Working Mom Wednesday newsletter 📸 Follow me on Instagram for working mom inspo ➡️https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/ 🤝 Connect with me on LinkedIn ➡️https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/   New episodes drop every Tuesday! Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode.   And if this episode made you rethink about how you balance work and life as a working mom, send it to a friend!
