A proposito di questo titolo

In a world that tells moms we can "have it all," most of us are sitting there like… cool, can I also have five uninterrupted minutes and a hot cup of coffee?

In this episode, we sit down with journalist-turned-health-tech insider Christina (Chrissy) Farr to talk about the career moves that actually matter after becoming a mother—because postpartum isn't just a physical recovery. It's a full identity recalibration.

Chrissy has built a rare career at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and healthcare innovation—and she's refreshingly blunt about what changed for her once kids entered the picture: her relationship with time, the power of boundaries, and the shift from doing everything to doing the right things.

Together, we unpack:

  • Why motherhood makes you stop working "for exposure" (and start pricing your time like the precious resource it is)

  • Chrissy's "high-visibility vs. low-visibility work" framework—and why it's a game changer when your life has daycare pickup baked into it

  • The honest shift many women feel after having kids: wanting purpose and financial security (and not apologizing for either)

  • Why women need to talk about money more—without shame, secrecy, or pretending we're "above it"

  • How to model ambition and integration for our kids without turning our lives into a burnout highlight reel

  • The reminder so many of us need: you don't need perfect timing to start—your life will expand around what matters

This conversation is for the mom who's quietly renegotiating everything: her ambition, her calendar, her tolerance for unpaid labor, and what "success" even means now.
