To celebrate Thanksgiving and our November theme of family for the ambitious woman, I invited two of the biggest influences in my life and leadership to join me on the mic: my sister, Jessica Ryan, and my mom, Kathy McAllister. This episode is\u2026unhinged in the best way. We swap stories about handmade Halloween costumes, soda cans secretly stashed in dresser drawers, hiding Dad\u2019s favorite candy, President\u2019s Day \u201cmystery trips,\u201d and the legendary Mother\u2019s Day \u201cGuilty Pleasure\u201d road trip. We talk about the chaos of motherhood, what\u2019s different from the generations before us, and how much we all rely on humor to make the hard parts lighter. If you need something cozy and familiar in your ears while you bake pies, drive to Grandma\u2019s, or hide in the pantry from your kids for five minutes of peace\u2014this one\u2019s for you. Underneath all the laughter, there\u2019s a quiet throughline: ambitious women need people who know where they came from, cheer them on, and don\u2019t mind making fun of them (lovingly) along the way. Key Quotes   \u201cThe influences in my life, I feel like you guys have always taught us that things are just better when they\u2019re fun.\u201d   \u201cNot everything has to be so serious. And even when it is serious, it\u2019s okay to bring a little levity to the situation.\u201d   \u201cThat\u2019s what we need as ambitious women\u2014we need our cheerleaders, our support system, the people who remember where we came from and aren\u2019t afraid to make fun of us along the way.\u201d   Resources &amp;amp; Links   Connect with Molly on Instagram: @mollyknuth   Listen to more episodes of The Found Podcast: https:\/\/mollyknuthmedia.com\/podcast\/   Share this episode with a friend who needs a laugh this week!
