Episode 7: Ursula's Journey

February 04, 2019 • Lynnette Li with Ursula Whittaker • Season 1 • Episode 7

In this episode, Lynnette interviews her friend Ursula Whittaker, who identifies as an actress, writer, manager of her husband's corporation, and lead parent to their daughter. She is born and raised in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband, Oscar and 6 year old daughter, August. Her husband also happens to be Oscar Nuñez, the actor from "The Office," "The Proposal," and most recently from the "State Farm" campaign that runs through the NBA season.

Ursula shares how she was pretty close to deciding she didn't want to give her independence for motherhood, why she thought being asked to share her dream version of motherhood was stupid, and what it's like to be experiencing perimenopause while parenting a young child. She also describes what it's like when their family is out together and a fan recognizes Oscar.
