Dana Greberg, you are the perfect person to have this conversation with Amy Gallo.
I am so happy to be back here having this conversation with you.
You are a behavioral psychologist at Babson.
So you know work.
You've researched work in motherhood.
You wrote this amazing book called Maternal Optimism, which encourages us to see the positives of being a working mom.
And you were on our 2019 episode called the Upside of Working Motherhood.
Such a good episode.
I left that conversation.
My daughter was 12 at the time.
She's now 17.

I want to play a clip from that 2019 episode because this is what I latched onto.

And so it's a really exciting phase.
There's also a lot of positive feedback that starts to come from your young adult children that you don't get from a toddler or an elementary schooler.
