Join Ellie for this week’s episode of A Day In Her Life with Nicole Conroy, VP of Technology at a global company and mom of two living in New York City. Nicole shares what her full, chaotic, and deeply fulfilling days look like as she balances an executive leadership role, a bi-state family summer routine, and motherhood.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Leading in Tech: Nicole’s path from majoring in Italian to becoming a VP at a global company—and the power of raising your hand.
- Office Life & Commuting Rhythms: How she structures her 2-3 days in-office and spends the commute to school and work.
- Work Blocks & Flexibility: How her approach to scheduling work blocks has evolved as her kids have grown and her career has scaled.
- Bi-State Living: The contrast between school-year life in NYC and summer life in Rhode Island—and how they maximize family time while they can.
- Household Operations: How Nicole and her husband divide responsibilities (including the ones they still negotiate with rock-paper-scissors).
- Simple Joys: Why her nightly ice cream ritual is non-negotiable.
- Kids' Activities: Their intentional approach to scheduling and extracurriculars in a busy household.
If you’re navigating career growth, parenting in two places, or just looking for a real, relatable take on what modern working motherhood can look like—this one’s for you.
