2021 is the year of “like, realizing things” for Melissa. Melissa and Amanda discuss the true ins and outs and emotional costs of working outside the home (or in the home remotely while parenting). Amanda, who’s been known the struggle, gives Melissa some encouragement and suggests maybe she lower some of her hygiene and cleanliness standards. Them’s already low though, Melissa cries, as her feet are now ashy and her kitchen sink is full. Dreadful, but Amanda is like, “Welcome to the real world, Melissa.” Working Moms Deserve It All, ya heard?!Want to support Amanda and Melissa, the strangers behind your favorite new podcast?
