In this heartfelt episode of Houston Moms on the Move, host Meagan Clanahan sits down with Haley Hernandez, KPRC2’s Health Reporter and co-host of KPRC2+, to talk about the beautiful (and sometimes messy) balance between motherhood and career. Haley opens up about raising two young boys, the importance of mental health, what it’s like working in live TV, and how she makes space for joy, even in chaos.
From the emotional realities of postpartum life to her favorite family-friendly Houston spots, Haley gets candid, honest, and hilariously real. This is an episode every working mom needs to hear.
Topics include:
- How Haley balances early mornings, live TV, and mom life
- Mental health, burnout, and the myths of “having it all”
- Learning to ask for help (and why it’s so hard)
- Her favorite meals, mom hacks, and TJ Maxx resets
“You can love the death out of your kids… and still not feel joyful every moment. And that’s okay.”
