Balancing Tech Jobs and Motherhood Without Losing Yourself with Shannon Curran & Mallory Lee

If excelling at work and motherhood at the same time feels harder than it should, know you’re not alone.

This is Full Stack Moms, a show for working moms navigating high-performing careers, motherhood, and life - just like we are. In this episode, we share our own stories of balancing full-time roles, staying home, consulting, fractional work, and everything in between.

This conversation sets the tone for the show by making one thing clear. We are not experts. But we are here to help you feel less alone, normalize how hard this phase can be, and create space for honest conversations about work, parenting, and life in the middle.
