We're going WAY BACK to the summer of 2016 (!!!) and sharing one of my favorite conversations. I've never met Margaux IRL but revisiting to this episode feels like I'm catching up with an old friend. "Born in Paris and raised in London, educated at Edinburgh University and living in Washington D.C., Margaux Bergen is the mother of three Millennials.” We use Bergen's fabulous memoir/advice book: Navigating Life: Things I Wish My Mother Had Told Me (Penguin Press, August 2016) as a jumping off point to talk about respectful parenting, getting back into the workforce after being a stay at home mom, the difference between solitude and loneliness, her complicated childhood, and how we can create a meaningful life. x Ellie KnausWe love to hear from you on Instagram: @atomicmoms and Facebook.

Sometimes our own parents aren't equipped to teach us how to create a meaningful life. It's our job to figure it out for ourselves and pass it on. MARGAUX BERGEN, an observant and whip smart daughter of a dysfunctional family, wrote down some of her hard earned wisdom to give to her eldest daughter when she went to college. Penguin Press has published these family stories and raw insights in the hybrid memoir/advice book: “Navigating Life: Things I Wish My Mother Had Told Me.” A champion for women leadership around the world, Margaux Bergen has worked with the non-profit Vital Voices.
