How to Deal with Mom Guilt, Prioritize Yourself, and Have Fun at Work, with Alex + Lee
Description
When Alex found out she was pregnant right after raising their first million in VC funding, she burst into tears. When Lee was at her breaking point, she found herself lying on a WeWork bathroom floor. This is the unfiltered story of two founders navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship – complete with all the tears, guilt, and impossible choices that never make it to the highlight reel. In this deeply personal episode, Alex and Lee share their nine-year journey of building companies while raising families. They dive into the myth of perfect balance, the power of authentic partnership, and why being fulfilled in your work can make you a better parent (and vice versa). Key topics: - The reality of pregnancy announcements when you're running a startup - Finding strength in vulnerability and imperfection - How to build a support system that actually works - Navigating guilt and expectations as a founder-mom - Why "having it all" looks different than you might think
