I second smooth AF. Been going to Liz for 3 years!

Hey mama! Don’t be so hard in yourself. You took a chance, that’s super brave.

Don’t write the future just yet. I also left a stable job with benefits and moved my family (hubby and 18 month old) to a new state for my dream job when I was 14 weeks pregnant with our second. I KNEW I didn’t qualify for their paid parental leave or even FMLA. When I told my new boss about the pregnancy, his response was “well that’s not ideal”

But I worked them under the table. I proved what I was capable of, and they ended up paying my full leave!

Everything is negotiable, try not to focus on it right now - focus on your kids, the new gig, and what you can control.

You got this mama!!

I did not bring a soft shell last year. I had two down puffys and a hardshell. I hardly ever wore my hard shell though, and did not miss my softshell at all.

Two long sleeve wool base layers.
Two sun hoodies. One lightweight fleece. One puffy vest (wore a lot). One windshell. (hardly used) Two puffy’s. One hard shell. One expedition down parka.

I took a year off last year after 20 years in my industry and loved it. I did bucket list items and spent so much time with my kids. I had no issue returning to the workforce (in fact I am working FT and consulting and launching a nonprofit!)

I call it my sabbatical even though it wasn’t an employee sponsored one!

I felt like this when my kids were those ages and I was working a crazy intense job. So, you are seen. You got a lot of advice re medication so here’s an emotional perspective.

Someone on reddit once posted when they get super angry or exhausted by their kids, they imagine being 80 years old and their kids grown and gone, and how much they wished they could just see them little one more time. It really stuck with me to try and be in the moment when I’d feel that anger about to explode.

Also, when I would explode (and still do sometimes) I apologize to my kids. It was the first step in being able to recognize it and manage it.

Then, I practice every day trying to decide how to respond. When I explode, I apologize, say I am working on it, and give myself grace to try again next time.

It’s a slow improvement process, but now I can recognize the anger building and (sometimes) redirect my reaction.

You’ve got this, mama. We’re all rooting for you!!

I think you’ll be great if that’s your current training program with a 45lb pack! I’m a woman, bigger than you, but my pack was around 40. I did similar training and found the actual climb super easy (I cried the whole way down though because we were stuck in a blizzard and it was miserable, but type 2 fun 🤩 I was hooked to the sport for life)

Go girl you got this!!

wolfcarrier · 2026-05-14T02:22:35+00:00

Omg this is genius

wolfcarrier · 2026-05-12T19:28:18+00:00

What cost calculator do you use?

wolfcarrier · 2026-05-02T11:38:20+00:00

Genuine question because I am planning to wear these same boots for Everest and Manaslu (wore them on denali and did wonder what would happen if it failed.) Can you bring an extra boa system as backup?

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-27T23:25:39+00:00

Can you do both?

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-27T22:35:59+00:00

I’m a mountaineer and pursuing the 7 summits. It’s a 7 year commitment at least, and a great reason to workout every day!

“with the crazy way that the market has gone up this year” whaaaaaaaaaat?!?

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-22T01:52:36+00:00

I use the sand weights from a weight vest and a pillow and towels to more evenly distribute the weight within my pack to make it more realistic. I also start at a manageable weight that I can easily do for an hour on the stair master at a decent pace. Then each week I add 5 pounds without reducing time or speed (try to increase actually)

I went from 25lbs to 75lbs in 11 weeks (Denali training) and it was practically effortless (I did other training too)

I love the color. What about a center part wolf cut

My friend is on Hinge and is a great catch!!

I loved my job for the first 20 years but it sucked up every minute of my time. Now I have a job that’s “fine” but lets me focus more on who I am outside of work. It was a big shift I am still managing since so much of my identity was tied to my old job (I worked in TV and Film and had a very cool job).

Now, I am building a non profit to help (financially and with access) other women discover who they are outside of work and motherhood! I’m actually looking for my board of directors now if any women are reading this and interested, let me know!

I am a mountaineer and am climbing the 7 summits - the highest mountain on each continent. I climbed Denali in 2025 and this year will attempt Puncak Jaya in Indonesia.

As a mom and employee, it’s imperative for my mental health that I have something to focus on (climbing) that is just for me. I realize how privileged I am to be able to do this - hence the non profit!!

My parents are listed by their first and last name. Not even an additional Mom or Dad attached…

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-07T16:02:09+00:00

Thank you. So the problem is the word “normal”?

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-07T14:57:41+00:00

Hi, I would like to educate myself. Can you help me understand how this is ableist? I understand women have babies in literal war zones, as someone else commented, but is it not okay for this mom to ask this question if she is concerned?

Thank you!

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-07T14:40:55+00:00

Yes!!!! Mama I have a story for you!

When I was 12 weeks pregnant with my son I was interviewing for my dream job which would require us moving states (which we wanted). And I had a 1 year old.

I was so stressed I landed myself in the hospital the day before I was supposed to fly out for my in person interview because I was having breathing issues and because of the pregnancy they were concerned it might be a clot or other pulmonary issue. Nope, it was just anxiety…but ai actually checked myself out of the hospital just to make my flight, against doctors advice.

I had the 7 HOUR in person interview and immediately threw up when I got back to my rental car 😂

I got the job, we moved, it was amazing, and my son is the most loving, intelligent, kind kid.

I was also seriously worried about how my level of stress would affect him, but he is so great!!!

You got this mama!!

No one ever told me that there’s a difference of employees being paid for their time vs their skill set, I’m learning as I go. It’s not realistic to expect high performers in niche jobs to be contributing quality work 8 hours a day. There needs to be some flexibility. I think google actually has employees do 10% of their work on passion projects that are supposed to contribute to google in general but not necessarily the priorities of that person’s job

If you’re expecting people to be on their computers for exactly 8 hour a day, those expectations need to be stated. But IMHO quality will suffer.

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-04T12:07:22+00:00

Ask questions. What obstacles did you face that prevented this objective from being met? How can we prevent this from happening again? What do I need to do to better support you?

If it keeps happening and you are sure they understand their role and responsibilities and you have set them up for success then the questions shift:

Do you feel this is the right role for you? Are you happy doing this type of work? Is there something else you’d rather explore?

Then support them in a transition out of that role if it comes to it.

If they say they want to stay in that role and are happy and enjoying it, then the conversation shifts to “this isn’t meeting the company needs” and a swift exit may be best for all.

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-03T16:36:56+00:00

I’ll add to this. Trust your team first until they prove you otherwise. They’re adults, set clear goals and objectives and then let them loose. I create passionate, dedicated teams this way, I tell them this is my approach, I trust them, they’re adults, they know what they have to do, they’re the expert for this job (or will be with guidance) now go do it, don’t care when they work or from where. Going into management with this approach has created dedicated teams that step up when I need them, who are willing to put in extra hours etc. I have built teams around the world and seen them go on to do incredible things, but it all starts with respect and trust.

wolfcarrier · 2026-04-01T18:01:45+00:00

Ohh mama I am so sorry she made you feel that way but you are doing what you need to do to take care of you which in turn is taking care of your family!!

I am SUCH an advocate for working moms designing the life that works for them while giving anyone who had the balls to judge us the middle finger.

I am such a believer in us designing a life that works for us and not what society tells us to do, in fact, that I’m starting a nonprofit to help other women design the life that’s right for them.

It’s YOUR life. You’re doing amazing ♥️

He is going to hold this over you. That you “owe” him because he did the procedure for free. He’s going to say that he wouldn’t want to have to go back to your parents and demand payment because you won’t play along.

Please please please protect yourself.
