The Reimagine Ambition Podcast

Here on the podcast we want to have inspiring conversations for parents looking to reimagine the way they balance work and family. Reimagine Ambition is all about sharing stories, tips and new ways of thinking about being a working parent. Especially designed for dual working families living in this “do it all” world, on the podcast we are looking to spark dialogue and inspire each other to find new ways to buck the norm and find a more sustainable way to parent, work and thrive. In interviewing real people and experts, our goal is to bring authentic conversations about the struggles of being working parents and help uncover new ways to reimagine ambition and find more joy in the wild adventure of raising a family and building a career.

Episode 16: Challenging Unrealistic Expectations - What really happens after we become “Mom” and “Dad”

October 10, 2023 • Marissa Green / Robin Geisen • Season 2 • Episode 16

Anyone else feel like a different person today than you were pre-parenthood? In this episode we have an enlightening conversation with Robin Geisen, a marriage and family therapist who specializes in maternal mental health. She shines light on how unrealistic expectations are making parenthood so difficult, and how we can frame a new language around the changes we go through after becoming parents to help ease the transition into our new titles of Mom and Dad.
