Bridgette and Molly welcome their first guest, Michelle Yu, founder of Josie, a company helping organizations better support working parents and caregivers through coaching, community, and resources designed for the realities families face. Together they talk about what parents are carrying behind the scenes, why so many caregivers feel stretched to their limits, and how workplaces can create cultures where people can actually thrive. They also explore the added layers that come with parenting neurodivergent kids, the power of finding people who get it, and why support often matters more than solutions.
