Work + Motherhood: Does the Tension Ever Leave?

Work + Motherhood: Does the Tension Ever Leave?

On the first episode of Catholic Working Mom, host Jessie Rettinger sits down with Mariana Pinto, a leader at Toyota and co-founder of the app Candid. Together they wrestle with the real tension of a busy life and land on the idea at the heart of this show: work can be for our own betterment and for the good of our kids and families, and that understanding frees us to live out our vocation fully.

IN THIS EPISODE

  • Mariana's fast rise through the ranks at Toyota
  • Two entrepreneurs, one marriage: how she and her husband back each other’s work
  • Protecting family time when the schedule is packed
  • Making real room for self-care
  • The cost of never making space for rest and quiet
  • Why seeing work as part of your vocation is so freeing
