In the second episode of “Grace & Grit: Navigating Postpartum & Parenthood,” I sat down with Sydney, a fellow bookstagrammer and mama to talk about being pregnant and raising toddlers.

Sydney and I have a lot in common; we immediately connected on our love of the same books, Halloween, and planners. So many planners. Because Sydney and I are not just moms. We are super cool career moms who like to over-achieve and stress themselves out. We talk about the pressures we feel from society to “be it all,” but we also talk about the joy we feel having the ability to focus on our careers (something that brings us joy) while also raising our babies.
