Working mom? Best of Both Worlds is your work-life guide

👂 Achieving work-life balance is no easy feat, and when family duties are in the mix, that equilibrium becomes even harder to reach. On Best of Both Worlds, hosts (and working parents) Laura Vanderkam and Sarah Hart-Unger guide listeners towards the balance that so many of us strive for. From juggling childcare and house chores to mapping out long-term career goals, working moms do not bear an easy load — but Vanderkam and Hart-Unger have the strategies to make things a little easier.

Best of Both Worlds covers all the ways you can navigate two hectic worlds at once. The episodes feature interviews with successful women who share their personal journeys, with topics including general life advice, career development strategies, personal habit formation, parenting tips, time management techniques, and more. The two hosts hold freewheeling, lively conversations that make for an easy and wholesome listen, often closing off their episodes with thoughtful Q&A sessions.

In one episode, Vanderkam and Hart-Unger invite Lauren Kuratko, an Episcopal priest. A mother and a full-time priest, Kuratko talks about her path in ministry and how she manages a busy job while also taking care of her kids and nurturing her personal wellbeing and spirituality. As the only full-time employee at her church, she often has to juggle multiple duties on top of her main role. She talks about how time-logging has helped her manage her time better and set her working priorities straight — ultimately helping her divide her time and energy.

Across 30-minute episodes, Best of Both Worlds offers listeners a warm space to relate to career and personal troubles while picking up a few practical tips on managing stress.
