Episode 10: A Mom for All Seasons

Oakland x Asian x Mom Podcast

We speak to our mutual and dear friend Wendy on this episode of OAM. All three of us have sweet spots for each other's kiddos and often bond over how to incorporate our culture in our family life. Inviting Wendy to be on the show really came out of our own personal desires to hear more about her profession as a Special Education teacher in public schools and her experiences of work in different seasons of life: Wendy has been a working-mom, a stay-at-home mom, and most recently a mom-to-a-newborn during early Covid times. Honestly, it was a nice break for all of us to be able to talk about how our own family histories influenced our thoughts about work and our burgeoning Asian mom superpowers. It was also more fun to have a real conversation without our kids around! What we didn't get to do on the show is acknowledge that all work -- at the office and at home -- is work, labors of mommy love, even if not paid.
