Being a mom is hard. Being a working mom? That’s a whole different level of juggling. In this episode of The Real Deal Conversations, host Megan Deal sits down with Whitney Guison and new guest Grace Gooley to talk about the real, unfiltered side of balancing careers, kids, and everything in between.

With kids ranging from toddlers to teens (and a new baby on the way), these three women dive into the guilt, chaos, and laughter that come with being moms who work and the grace that keeps them going. They tackle stats about working motherhood, talk honestly about exhaustion, and share how they’re learning to trade perfection for presence. If you’ve ever reheated your coffee three times before finishing it, this one’s for you.
