From her SkillsBaby.com platform, Kelly offers workshops, global retreats, and, her new endeavor on Linked In, Let\u2019s Talk Live, focusing on monetizing unpaid labor, which is brilliant.   We had a wonderful conversation about the ways in which culture and society sets up expectations of what it means to be female at home, especially what it means to be a mom. For so long, Kelly, experienced and felt \u201cmom, guilt\u201d if she didn\u2019t meet these expectations. She shared the story about how, one day, her \u201cbody stopped\u201d when she was 36 years old. She just had her third child (and third high-risk pregnancy), and the weight of managing a household, caring for two small children, and the pressure she experienced from her boss to get back up and out, flattened her for weeks. Mom guilt steeped through, and she felt like a failure. She said, \u201ceverybody loves you when you do things for them, but when you\u2019re not able, guilt becomes stronger and deeper."  Kelly pulled herself through the abyss\u2026 And as a result, her goal in life is to empower working mothers. One of the reasons I think her Linked In, Let\u2019s Talk Live, with a focus on monetizing unpaid labor, which is brilliant is because it pulls back the curtain on the value of the unpaid labor at home, I just love this idea so much.  ","author_name":"The Emotional Labor Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/drreginaflark","html":"
