🎙️ She nursed a newborn between board meetings

The New Modern Mom Podcast turns two this month, and to celebrate, I’m re-sharing the episodes that stuck with me most as we gear up for our relaunch this summer.

Next up: Divya Gugnani.

Entrepreneur. Investor. 5x CEO. Mom of three, including a newborn at the time of this recording.

Before we hit record, I didn’t know Divya personally. By the time we finished, I wanted to be her best friend.

She’s one of those people who carries an enormous amount without making it look performed. Multiple companies, two preteens, a new baby, a cross-country move, and somehow she shows up with real clarity about what matters and what doesn’t. No hustle glorification. No pretending it’s easy. Just honest systems and a perspective that I keep coming back to.

The thing that stuck with me most: her “no zero days” rule. On the days where a full workout isn’t happening, she does one minute of jumping jacks. That’s it. Progress over perfection, every single day. Simple, but two years later and I think about it constantly.

If you missed this one the first time, add it to your queue this week. And if you’ve already listened, it hits differently the second time around.

And if this one resonates, a quick review takes 30 seconds and genuinely helps more moms find the show. ⭐

Hit ❤️ below if you’re adding this to your queue. 💬And tell me in the comments… are you a “schedule everything” person like Divya, or are you still figuring out your system?

Thanks for listening,

Barbara
