WATCH EPISODE FOUR:
AMY BROWN
Amy is a popular co-host of the Bobby Bones Show, a podcaster and an adoptive mom of two beautiful children from Haiti. We got to know one another a few years ago and I was blown away by how transparent she was about being thrust into motherhood. Amy gets so real in this conversation about being an adoptive parent, the importance of finding a tribe and how parenthood made her better, but also, how it revealed her struggles.

WATCH EPISODE FIVE:
HILLARY SCOTT
Yep, I'm talking to that Hillary. Lady A's lead singer. Hillary and I met a few years ago when I was still at ABC News. We've kept in touch and now are part of a wonderful sisterhood of friends that cheers one another on. I write in the book about my experience with spousal equity--John literally put his career dreams on hold so I could pursue mine. Hillary's story is similar. Her husband, Chris, was a drummer for Lady A and after they had their twins, he decided it was best for him to be a "stay at home dad". So, how much does spousal equity change the game for working moms? And, how can we invite men into the conversation? You'll love Hillary's story. Oh, and she's joining me the day after the Grammy's, from her hotel room in LA.

WATCH EPISODE THREE:
LYSA TERKEURST
It was important for me to interview thought leaders and moms from ALL walks, and political affiliations. While some of you may not hold the same faith that I do (and I respect that 100%), I wanted to highlight some of the tension so many women have felt regarding what our faiths/cultures/traditions say about our roles as women. So, in Chapter 5, which was the toughest, yet most freeing chapter for me in this book, I interview my friend Lysa TerKeurst, who founded Proverbs 31 Ministries. Lysa is a single mother of five and one of my closest friends--she provides some context for women and work, through a faith lens.

WATCH EPISODE TWO:
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
Savannah is not only a fierce journalist, she's a very proud mama of two. Yes, Savannah and I worked at competing networks while I was at ABC News, but our bonds over motherhood overrule all. As an older mom (she had her babies in her 40's), Savannah shares how she deals with #MomGuilt, some of the misconceptions about working moms and what you can find her doing in her spare time--it may surprise you! If you weren't already a fan of Savannah, I'm positive you'll see why she's America's TV News Sweetheart!

WATCH EPISODE ONE:
SHERRI SHEPHERD
Paula Faris
in conversation with
Sherri Shepherd
Sherri and I are quite literally sisters. We were both co-hosts at The View, which means we're part of a forever sorority. Sherri is quoted several times in the book, specifically on the amount of mom guilt that she's carrying. She is SUCH A GOOD MOM, but like so many of moms, she struggles to carry it all. Sherri is a single mom to a special needs son and she's a woman of color. While I talk about the inequities for working moms, the inequities for working moms of color are even more staggering.
