In a world reshaping itself around how, where, and why we work, what does leadership actually look like—especially when you're also navigating motherhood?

In this episode, we sit down with Anna Squires-Levine, President of Industrious (and mama of three), to explore that question and more. Anna joined Industrious nearly a decade ago when it was just a few co-working spaces—and helped scale it to 300+ locations across 10 countries. Now, she's guiding the company into a new era after its acquisition by CBRE, all while welcoming her third baby.

Together, we talk candidly about:

• How to lead during life's most chaotic transitions

• The myth of balance and the radical act of choosing your kind of hard

• Why human-centered workspaces are more critical than ever—and how Industrious is redefining what it means to "go to work"

• The honest truth about ambition, identity shifts, and the emotional tug-of-war working moms face daily

• Practical questions to ask yourself when you're standing at a career crossroads

This one's for the moms holding it all—the dream, the diapers, the deadline. Anna's wisdom is both grounding and galvanizing, reminding us that the future of work isn't just flexible. It's human.
