Let's talk MOTHERHOOD.
Andrew was out of town. Our babysitter wasn't available. I had a performance that night… and Ajax had other plans.
So I did what I had to do.
I rolled his stroller onto the stage and hoped for the best.
What happened next became one of those moments I'll never forget—not because everything went perfectly, but because it didn't.
In this episode, I'm sharing what it's been like navigating motherhood, building my career, recording this show, and asking myself the same question so many of us ask:
Is it actually possible to do it all?
We talk about:
- What happened when I brought Ajax on stage with me
- The reality of motherhood without your usual support system
- Why New York has stretched me in ways I didn't expect
- The trade-offs we don't always talk about
- Learning to stay present when nothing goes according to plan
- Why "just do the best you can" has become my new mantra
