In this episode, Kate & Anne are saying what every working mom is thinking: how are we supposed to do it all when the school calendar feels like it was designed in another universe? From surprise days off and midweek performances to spirit days, parent read-along time, and volunteer requests—all during work hours—the mental load is real.
They’re unpacking the guilt that comes with missing things, the scramble of finding last-minute coverage, and the impossible pressure to “show up” for everything. Plus, they share some of their own fails, coping strategies, and why sometimes, saying no is the healthiest choice.
If you’ve ever struggled to balance work and school events, or felt torn between being present and getting things done—this one’s for you.
