Welcome back to Diary of a Working Mom! This week, we sat down with Courtney Cecil, a mom of two elementary school kids, Head of Culture at a Fortune 50 company, and founder of the Working Moms Movement. Courtney opens up about her journey from thinking she would be a stay-at-home mom to becoming an advocate for working mothers while excelling in a high-level corporate role.

We discuss how her background as an Industrial & Systems Engineer has shaped her approach to both motherhood and career management, the importance of setting boundaries, and how she balances her significant responsibilities with family life. Courtney also shares the motivation behind writing her children’s book about the first day of kindergarten and gives actionable advice for moms who are striving to align their professional goals with their personal values.

Whether you're a working mom, thinking about re-entering the workforce, or simply looking for inspiration on balancing work and family, this episode is packed with wisdom, tips, and encouragement. Don't miss it!

Welcome back to Diary of a Working Mom Podcast! This week we get to chat with Taryn Oubre.
