Can I ask you something?
How many different versions of yourself do you show up as before 10am?
You’re a mom getting kids out the door. A professional with a full inbox waiting. Maybe a partner trying to actually connect with the person sleeping next to you. A person with creative ideas you haven’t had time to pursue. A human being who’d really like a hot cup of coffee for once.
That’s not chaos. That’s a multi-hyphenate life.
And this week’s podcast episode is for every woman who’s been living that life but hasn’t yet given herself permission to own it.
ICYMI I’m re-releasing some of the episodes that resonated most in the history of The New Modern Mom Podcast as I gear up for our relaunch this summer.
Up now: Hitha Palapu. CEO of Roshan Pharmaceuticals, author of two books, speaker, and mom of two boys. She’s one of the most honest, clear-eyed people I’ve talked to about what it actually takes to hold multiple identities without losing yourself.
We got into her Gentle Wednesdays practice, the weekly marriage meeting she swears has made their date nights genuinely fun again, and the Magic 20 List, which is now the first thing I’m trying when I get overwhelmed by a new idea.
But the part that stayed with me most? She talked about knowing when to close a chapter. How the decision that looks like quitting from the outside is actually one of the most powerful multi-hyphenate moves you can make.
This one is worth the listen (or re-listen).
And if this one resonates, a quick review takes 30 seconds and genuinely helps more moms find the show. ⭐
