Balancing your careers and caring for a toddler can be difficult enough, but it can be even harder when your spouse is a shift worker with unconventional hours. In this episode, Kortney chats with Katie Roark about how she and her husband navigate childcare amidst traveling for work and 12-hour shifts. Katie shares candid insights into how she and her husband have found a rhythm that works for them.

We also chat about the often frustrating world of daycare, and how the costs seem to pile up even when her toddler isn't attending.  Amidst the challenges, Katie and her family find joy, and her story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of working parents everywhere. Tune in, and you might just find a strategy or two that could make your life a little easier.
