## Resource

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.
