Season 2 Episode 3 | A Day in the Life of Two Media Moms (Spoiler: It’s Not Calm)
What does a day in the life of a media dietitian really look like? Well, bestie, it’s not just green smoothies and perfectly lit content. It’s car screams, missed windshield wipers, live TV chaos, and yes — moments of pure “I can’t believe this is my job” joy.
In this episode, we each take you through a real (very real) day in our lives. From TV segments and content creation to school pickups and tech fails, we’re peeling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to juggle media work, motherhood, and business ownership without losing your mind… most of the time.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What a “typical” day in media life actually includes (spoiler: no day is typical)
- How we batch content, land segments, and still manage bedtime
- Tips for social growth without burnout (hello, reposted reels 🙌)
- The thrill of unexpected brand emails — and the ones we delete on sight
- Why we’re obsessed with flexibility and refuse to go back to cubicle life
Key Takeaways:
- Flexibility is everything — and media careers can offer that (with a side of chaos).
- Delegating doesn’t mean giving up control — it means saving your sanity.
- Repurposing old content is not lazy. It’s genius.
- There’s no such thing as balance, but there is joy in the juggle.
- The right opportunities often pop into your inbox when you least expect them.
Whether you’re curious what this life looks like or just need a reminder that it’s okay to do it your way — this episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even rethink your to-do list.
