96. The Ambition Paradox: Why Workplaces Fail Moms And What Makes Them Stay with Dr. Anne Welsh
What happens when motherhood collides with ambition and the systems around us weren’t built to support either?This week, Ashley sits down with Dr. Anne Welsh, a clinical psychologist, executive coach, mom of four, and advocate for working parents. Anne’s career has spanned maternal mental health, coaching women in male-dominated industries, and consulting with organizations that are (finally) starting to realize they need to do more for their working parents.In this episode, they explore:Why balance is less of a steady state and more of a constant danceHow ambition shifts and sharpens after becoming a momThe hidden costs of workplaces that frame caregiving as an “individual problem”Why so many women leave corporate life, and what might make them stayThe cultural shift happening as younger parents demand flexibility and supportAnne’s perspective is both deeply personal and big-picture. This conversation is a reminder that change starts with one voice—but it doesn’t have to end there.🔗 Connect with Dr. Anne Welsh:Website: drannewelsh.comLinkedIn: Dr. Anne WelshConnect with Ashley: Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comDovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @andboth_podcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

94. Both/And: Consulting, Caregiving, and Redefining Work with Kaleana Quibbell
Career. Parenthood. Flexibility. For so long, we’ve been told these choices are black and white- either you stay in the workforce full-time or you step away completely.This week's episode features Kaleana Quibbell, a mom and corporate veteran who is challenging that story. After leaving her corporate career in internal benefits consulting, Kaleana built a new path as a part-time consultant and mom of two and in the process, she discovered countless other parents designing careers that don’t fit the old mold.Kaleana founded Both And, a storytelling platform where parents share their journeys of reimagining work—whether that means consulting, freelancing, part-time roles, job-sharing, or simply advocating for more flexibility at work.In this conversation, we explore:Why work and parenthood don’t have to be either/orThe fears and freedom of leaving corporate lifeHow consulting and part-time work can keep parents connected and relevantThe importance of separating your expertise from your employer’s nameWhy companies need to rethink flexibility if they want to keep great talentKaleana’s perspective is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging. She reminds us that there’s no one right way to combine work and family, and that we all benefit from seeing what’s possible.Connect with Kaleana:Website: bothand.coInstagram: @bothand.coLinkedIn: Both AndConnect with Ashley: Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comDovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @andboth_podcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/
