This week on 3 with Bri, we’re diving into what it really feels like to be a married, working mom — the kind with eight arms doing eight different things… and one of them is always on standby for the unexpected.
Bri shares her “octopus mom” theory: seven arms multitasking like pros, and that eighth arm scrambling to handle the sick kid, forgotten instrument, physical forms, last-minute errands, and whatever else life tosses your way. But what happens when that eighth arm starts to struggle… and suddenly all the other arms notice?
In this honest, vulnerable, and hope-filled episode, Bri opens up about her own week where nothing was bad but everything felt heavy. She talks about the power of naming the feeling, looking for the “pearl” in the day, and remembering that some days aren’t pearls — they’re just pearls in the making.
With relatable stories, encouragement for teachers and moms, and gentle reminders that we don’t have to be okay for everything to be okay, this episode invites you to shift perspective, find gratitude, and hold anticipation for the pearl that’s forming beneath the surface.
Whether you’re drinking coffee, commuting, folding laundry, or grabbing a few minutes of quiet, this conversation is for every working mom who’s juggling it all — imperfectly, beautifully, and with more strength than you realize.
