Can you train your kids the same way you train zoo animals? My guest this week, Sarah Kirkman, is a zookeeper at the Columbus Zoo and mom to two small children and she has a great story about putting her animal training skills to use!
How zookeeper skills transfer over to one’s mom life is not the only thing Sarah and I talk about though. We talk a little about whether it is harder to go back to work after the first kid or after the second. Everyone has different experiences and there are definitely things you are already prepared for with the second kid but going back to work after the first is a whole new world!
Sarah has great advice to find the other moms where you work. It can feel so good to connect with other professionals that understand what you are going through and who just “get it” about all the weird and stressful things in motherhood. It just makes you feel less alone!
