Cabot parent Sara Brown started a podcast! And it might be your next favorite listen. THE MOTHERS features funny, smart, true conversations with industry leaders and industry makers as they reflect on their lives through the lens of motherhood: How has having children influenced their sense of identity, purpose, ambition? How are they “doing it all” and what do they think about “having it all?” And how are they, really!?
Check out THE MOTHERS on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts and follow them on Instagram (@themotherspod). Thanks!
