Susanna Hunter has spent more than 10 years at Salesforce, where she’s now a VP of HR supporting a global organization of 10,000 people. She’s also raising four-year-old twins and a new baby, living on an intergenerational family compound, writing songs, doing stand-up comedy, and sharing the very real side of working motherhood on LinkedIn.

Susanna talks about the mom rage she once thought was hers alone, why her second postpartum experience has felt completely different from her first, and how she’s learned she doesn’t have to lose herself after having kids. She also shares the practical systems behind making their life work, including paid childcare, dividing responsibilities with her husband, a weekly house meeting, and removing the tiny recurring decisions that used to create friction at home.
