Influential Motherhood
The Influential Motherhood Podcast empowers moms to thrive at work, at home, and in their communities. Each week features a chat with a mom who is making a difference, and shares practical tips for parenting and adulting (both are hard!), plus real talk about what's challenging even when she looks "successful" to the rest of us.
Hosted by Melissa Duncan, a lawyer, mom, and wife whose mission is to celebrate the moms whose long days at work and at home are making a positive difference. Moms can change the world!
