Nontraditional Families

What even counts as "traditional" anymore?

On the new episode of Real Talk for Real Women, Dr. Tiffany Tonismae and I tackle family structures that don't fit the mold: stay-at-home dads, single mothers by choice, working moms who want to work, and everything in between.

Dr. T opens up about the conversation she and her husband had when they decided it was best for him to stay home and take care of their daughter. I share some moments of guilt where I feel like I'm not showing up as my best self-, both as a mom and an entrepreneur. The balancing act is TOUGH! So we talk about.

Also, we brought in my friend Hayley Minogue, 99.7 DJX radio host, corporate leader, and a mom doing it differently, to share her perspective on what it really looks like to build a family on your own terms.

What is Real Talk for Real Women?

Journalist Shay McAlister and maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Tiffany Tonismae have teamed up for a new podcast made by women, for women. We're two working moms with demanding careers - one delivering babies and managing high-risk pregnancies, the other investigating stories and holding systems accountable. We're done with the highlight reel version of women's lives and instead focusing on important conversations to make women stronger.
