Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.

For a lot of women, returning to work after having a baby or raising a family can be incredibly daunting, and really hard to navigate. Cathy O’Brien has just returned to work after almost twenty years and raising three kids. Holly speaks to her about her experience deciding to return to the workforce and putting herself first for once.

Plus, Andrew and Holly discuss a listener dilemma about siblings that just won't get along, and of course, their fails of the week.
