Always Working Mom: Recent Episodes
Vivian Knox
Everyone wants to be heard, and we should take the time to listen as we let go of our judgments, and pursue kindness and support.
Welcome to the Always Working Mom Podcast where we believe ALL moms are working moms. Every week, host Vivian Knox will bring you personal stories from mothers working hard. Vivian will interview career moms, SAHMs, and side hustlers to focus less on our differences and more on supporting one another, and help to bridge the gap through kindness, grace, and support. Because if we can come together on the small things in life, then we can come together on the big issues. Magical things happen when women support women.
More kindness, less judgement. Are you ready to join our movement?
Quarantined during a pandemic is not how I imagined life during season 2, but God knew. So let's have some hard talks about suffering and finding joy in God's presence. Will we suffer? Will life ever be easy? Is there joy in suffering?

Ready to grow your community? We challenge YOU to join us on a 5 day challenge to meet a new mom. This can be a new mom at your work, at your child’s school, in your neighborhood…wherever. The point is, meet a new mom, and especially if you don’t have a mom friend that doesn’t “look” like you, meaning, if you’re a SAHM then make a career mom friend and so on. Trust me.
Join our community on Instagram by following @AlwaysWorking_mom and using the hashtag #alwaysworkingmom
5 DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 1. MAKE A PLAN. List neighbors, house number, or specific people you want to meet.
DAY 2. PICK HOW + WHEN. Leave a note on someone’s door, send a card to all the moms in your child’s class, invite over for dessert or pizza, or meet up at the park.
DAY 3. PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. Take action. You can do it! Be awkward! You won’t die.
DAY 4. TRY AGAIN. Do stop trying until someone says yes. Don’t keep ringing your neighbor’s door everyday…that’s a bit much…but maybe give multiple neighbors a shout.
DAY 5. MEET UP AND DO IT AGAIN. Actually meet up. It’s ok if no one shows up. Do it again. And if they show up, then plan the next meet up for the following week. Keep it simple.
Join our community on Instagram for examples, advice on the challenge, and to “meet” other mamas that are taking action! Can’t wait to see how your challenge goes.
