Fall Triggers for Working Moms

Marisa Lonic
About this episode

It’s fall y’all and working moms are feeling triggered. From parent teacher conferences to pumpkin patches to Halloween boo bags, some of us may feel like we’re drowning in an ocean of pumpkin spice. Today’s episode of the Mama Work It podcast is a fun conversation I had with my working mom friend, Estella, all about triggers working moms experience - just in the fall season. Are you ready to laugh, cry, and probably relate to these? Listen to today’s episode!

FYI, today’s episode is not for educational or empowerment purposes, but more for silliness and fun. We’re not hating on our fall trigger list, but we’re calling out that you’re not alone if you feel triggered by perfectly curated fall porches. You’re welcome.
