Being a working mom in media isn’t for the faint of heart- and B96 Brand Manager + mom of two Molly Cruz gets it.
In this episode, Molly and Paulina talk about what it really looks like to juggle inboxes, toddlers, and the pressure to “do it all.” From learning to handle hard better, to letting go of perfection, to finding confidence after motherhood changes everything- this convo is the reminder every ambitious mom needs.
We get into:
✨ How to stop apologizing for not being “perfect”
🧠 Why grace > guilt every time
💼 What motherhood taught her about leadership, identity, and ambition
💗 The freedom that comes with letting go of control
This one’s for the moms fighting their inbox, questioning their balance, or trying to remember the woman they were before the title “mom.”
Because, as Molly says: you don’t have to do it all perfectly. You just have to keep learning to handle hard better.
I’m grateful to have you here. Being a mom and going after your dreams isn’t easy, but you’re doing better than you think. Keep going — you’ve got this.
Let’s stay connected:

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
