MOLINE, Illinois — Jillian Mahen is Denise's guest for Episode 62 of the "On A Mother Level" podcast. Mahen is returning to the broadcasting industry after a brief break, that included having her daughter and leaving Chicago during the pandemic. She and her husband are new to the Quad Cities this year.
She talks about starting this new opportunity at WQAD News 8 with a new attitude. Her mindset she says comes in part with maturity about the way women should be supporting other women in the workplace.
She also talks about the evolution of women in sports broadcasting, after a few discouraging moments with coaches and teams. Mahen will be anchoring "Good Morning Quad Cities" through March, when Angie Sharp returns from her maternity leave. Mahen also sticks around to chat about the new season of "The Bachelor" featuring Matt James.
When it comes to parenthood, we can relate.
Your kids have some disgusting habits. We’ll talk about them. Your husband served nachos for breakfast? That sounds good. You cried today? That’s gonna happen.
These are the ups and downs of motherhood, and we are here for them all.
Join WQAD News 8 anchor Denise Hnytka as she explores parenthood on a MOTHER level. She’s opening up about what makes being a mom the best/worst/most amazing/unexpected adventure in life.
You’ll meet unstoppable moms who handle the home life while launching their own businesses. And we’ll teach the men a thing or two about multi-tasking when we explore parenthood through their eyes.
New episodes available weekly.
