Welcome to The High-Achieving Mom! Aimée and Leigh discuss why they're starting a podcast in 2022 (to get together, drink, and BS). We're all carrying a heavy mental load, and we're examining what it means to be a high-achieving woman and mother. Join us as we discuss our successes and failures navigating the world as women, mothers, and mothers-to-be.
We are also saddened and angered (really, we have no adequate words) over the latest spate of mass shootings, including: the 21 children and teachers killed and the 17 injured at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX; the 10 killed and 3 injured in a racist attack at a grocery store in Buffalo, NY; and the 1 killed and 5 injured at a Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Irvine, CA. These deaths and injuries are preceded by countless other lives taken by senseless gun violence. Here are a few resources if you're interested:
