Ep 02: Lights, Camera, Motherhood

Today I'm joined by Amber, a seasoned makeup artist in the film industry and mother of two. Amber bravely shares her journey of juggling her professional life with motherhood in a non-traditional work environment. She opens up about the challenges she faced while trying to breastfeed on set. Her story highlights the importance of finding what works best for each individual, and shines a light on the mom guilt she felt when her husband became the primary caregiver, and why it's essential to follow our inner compass to find our own way and to avoid the comparison trap.

Amber's story is a reminder that every parenting journey is unique and it's important to be kind to ourselves as we navigate this path.
