CEO

Being a CEO is tough. Being a parent is even tougher. Today we are going to be talking to Rhea Drysdale, the CEO of Outspoken Media. Rhea is also the parent of a four-year-old and a one-year-old. As you can imagine, she has a lot on her plate! She is going to share her experiences of being pregnant, breastfeeding, recovering from a difficult delivery, finding her groove as a new mom, and then transitioning from one child to two, all while also remaining CEO of her company. Some of the highlights of today's show include: How Rhea's experience finding out that she couldn't control everything changed her as a mom and as a CEO. How the kindness of strangers helped Rhea survive the first year as a new mom and a CEO. Some lessons that Rhea has learned about being a CEO while pregnant, a mom of one, and a mom of two. Why Rhea found it easy to bond with moms who had been through traumatic experiences. What she would do differently the third time around, if she decides to have another baby. How Rhea handled communication with her team members while on maternity leave. How parenting helped Rhea appreciate the wisdom of moms who have gone before her. Questions Rhea has asked herself to help find balance between work and parenting. How Rhea handles working-parent guilt and how she depends on her support system to help her keep it under control.
