I had a ton of fun speaking with Mom Blogger, Kristin Cruz about Moms and career re-entry tips. Kristin recently “relaunched” her career after spending years as co-host of the “Mark and Kristin Morning Show” on LA’s KOST 103.5FM. She now hosts a weekly podcast, blogs, and is also starting Moms in Media, Inc.. It was so much fun speaking with her and I loved that her kids made an impromptu appearance during the show — I did the interview on a night that my husband was out of town and I parked my kids in front of their homework and the TV (aka babysitter) so I could speak with Kristin uninterrupted. One thing about us Moms is that we just know how to roll with it! I’m honored she interviewed me to talk about moms and career re-entry. Click on the audio player below to listen to the interview!
