## Caption

Half of 2026 is officially over... and I've never felt this behind in my career. 😅

In today's episode of Office Drama, I'm doing my mid-year review out loud: what went wrong, what I'm scared of, and the commitments I'm making for myself so maaaybe by December I don't have to crash out nearly as much.

Today, we talk about:
→ Why I felt so behind at the half-year mark of 2026
→ The motherhood penalty: how does it impact your career?  👀
→ A mutual creator who lost 10,000 followers overnight after announcing her pregnancy
→ "Would you rather be pregnant or successful?" and why I don't want to choose!
→ My 6 commitments I want us to try for the rest of 2026
