Caitlin Murray had built a full life as a working mom of two, preparing to return full-time to her job after the birth of her third child - until everything changed. When her oldest son was diagnosed with leukemia, Caitlin made the decision to stay home, putting her career on pause to care for her family during an unimaginably hard season of life. What started as writing to cope slowly evolved into “Big Time Adulting,” a viral Instagram account that now resonates with over a million people. In this episode, Caitlin opens up about the grief, humor, and grit behind her unexpected pivot, the evolution of her relationship to success, and how sharing her most honest self online helped her - and so many others - feel a little less alone.
