Your Hosts

Welcome to \"The Grand Balance” – the ultimate podcast for savvy, working grandmas stepping up to the plate in today’s bustling world! Two dynamic grandmas, Angela and Sharon, share their journeys of navigating the intricate dance between career ambitions and cherished family commitments with a fair share of amusing anecdotes.

Sharon is a small business owner with infectious energy and a passion for creativity and community. With years of entrepreneurial experience, she’s mastered the art of juggling multiple responsibilities, from managing her business to being a dedicated single mother and now new grandmother. Sharon's warmth and wisdom shine through as she shares her journey, with a few antics here and there. She loves a good baby product dupe or hack!

Angela is a corporate partner with a knack for strategic thinking—whether she’s orchestrating meetings in suits and heels or crafting the perfect baby-watching agenda. A fervent advocate for women’s advancement in technology, Angela places equal passion on prioritizing family. Tune in to hear Angela spotlight heroic grandmothers who can excel at their job by day and transform into super grandma at a moment's notice, proving you can indeed do it all...albeit occasionally questioning if \"doing it all\" includes sleeping!

Together, Angela and Sharon create a powerful duo, offering relatable and inspiring content for their listeners. Through candid discussions, hot topics, a treasure trove of tips and tricks, and the occasional guest appearance, they explore the triumphs and trials of being active, working grandmothers. Their shared experiences and lessons learned provide encouragement and insights, uplifting and connecting a community of like-minded individuals. Tune in and embrace your role with confidence, love, and a touch of grandmotherly magic.

\"Having my first grandchild rekindled my focus on family, guiding my life in wonderful new directions. I hope our stories inspire others to find their own balance and cherish every moment.\" — Angela

“Every challenge we face as working grandmothers is an opportunity to grow and connect with our loved ones. Together, we can navigate this journey with grace and resilience, and of course, a sense of humor.” — Sharon
