The Double Journey
Motherhood and career — stories of women walking both paths at once.
Hosted by Ruby Ngọc Nguyễn, founder of Momby · 2 episodes · 1 h 18 min
Motherhood is a whole journey on its own. Being a mother while keeping the fire alive for work you love is a double journey — full of pride, exhaustion and moments when you want to let go.
In this Momby podcast series, Ruby Ngọc Nguyễn — Momby's founder and a mother herself — talks with women walking both paths: one who built a spa chain for expecting mums after being turned away while pregnant, another who opened a martial arts dojo through the eyes of a mother of three. They speak honestly about their choices, the partners beside them, and how to be kind to yourself amid it all.
Each episode runs 30 to 50 minutes — lovely while rocking your baby to sleep, on the road, or on a slow evening. We hope you find a little courage there, and some lightness too: you always have more than one choice.
