My Honest Take on Motherhood vs Career (A Brutal Mid-year Reflection) | Office Drama

10 Aug 2026 · 56 min · Episode 10

Half of 2026 is officially over... and I've never felt this behind in my career. 😅

In today's episode of Office Drama, I'm doing my mid-year review out loud: what went wrong, what I'm scared of, and the 6 commitments I'm making so December-me doesn't have to go through the same existential disappointment.

Today, we talk about:

→ Why I felt so behind at the half-year mark of 2026

→ The motherhood penalty: how does it impact your career? 👀

→ A mutual creator who lost 10,000 followers overnight after announcing her pregnancy

→ "Would you rather be pregnant or successful?" and why I don't want to choose!

→ My 6 commitments I want us to try for the rest of 2026
