What is 9 TO 5 MOM WITH A POD?

Francheska Stone is the creator and host of 9 to 5 Mom with a Pod. A former litigation paralegal turned creator, she built a media platform for ambitious moms who are outgrowing their day jobs and quietly planning what comes next.

After spending over a decade in litigation, Francheska did everything “right” on paper, rising as a trusted paralegal while building stability for her family. But privately, she felt herself disappearing inside a career that no longer fit her life as a mom. Realizing she was building a life that looked good but felt misaligned, she made the decision to pivot and create something of her own.

That decision became 9 to 5 Mom with a Pod, a podcast and media platform for working moms who are outgrowing their jobs and want a realistic, step-by-step path into their next chapter.

On the show, Francheska hosts honest conversations about outgrowing your role, navigating money and benefits, managing identity shifts in motherhood, and planning an exit without blowing up your life overnight. Each episode is built for the mom listening on her commute or during nap time, breaking big transitions into clear, month-by-month moves.

Francheska has been featured in Yahoo! Life, Success Magazine, Forbes, The Bump, and Manychat, and speaks regularly on podcasting, branding, and the creator economy.
