Pumping in a Courthouse Bathroom: A Lawyer, Mom of 2 & Firm Owner Gets Real About Ambition, Mom Guilt & Refusing to Choose
Mona Tash is an employment lawyer, co-founder of her own firm, and mom of two boys under seven. Four months after having her first son, she had a trial. She pumped in the bathroom between sessions. She brought him to an arbitration in Palm Springs when she had no other option. She didn't get maternity leave — because there was no one to pass her cases to.
And she kept going.
In this episode, Corinna, Malliha, and Mona get into the conversations most working moms are having in their heads but rarely say out loud — the guilt that shows up even when you know you're doing the right thing, the mental load that follows you on vacation, and the moment Mona's six-year-old told her she needed a break and she realized he actually gets it.
They also talk about what it looks like to hold onto yourself through motherhood — the board seat Mona has kept for nine years, the 8am Saturday workout class she doesn't apologize for, and why she's actively trying to let her kids fail a little more so they can actually grow.
And for any mom sitting on a dream right now? Mona's closing advice is the push you didn't know you needed.
Topics covered:
- The real cost of having no maternity leave when you own your firm
- Mom guilt — where it actually comes from and what to do with it
- Building your village and why the support system isn't optional
- Letting kids fail as an act of love
- Self-care that goes deeper than a spa day
- Holding onto your pre-mom identity on purpose
- Why women wait to be ready — and men just start
- Taking the first step even when you don't have all the answers
About Mona: @monatash — lawyer, firm co-founder, mom of two, and someone who has built her life around helping others fight for what they deserve.
