In this episode, Grace shares her personal journey of being both a stay-at-home mom for seven years and having transitioned into full-time work outside the home and recently back to SAHM LIFE. 

So often, "SAHM v. working mom" is framed as a comparison - but Grace shares her lived experience and the truth seems to be much more nuanced. The emotional weight, the guilt, the tension of wanting to be fully present in every role - it exists in both seasons, just in different ways. 

Grace opens up about the realities of her current season: the constant juggle, the shifting identity, and the quiet questions of being "enough". 

Whether you're at home with your kids, working outside the home, or somewhere in between- this conversation is an invitation to step out of comparison and into grace.
