She was classically trained at a young age, fell in love with country music in her late teens, and the rest is "herstory..."

Amber starts by fan-girling over Caroline, then gets into her music including her new single, 'All the Things' which is an anthem, ode, and tribute to her husband and all the moms out there trying to do "all the things."
.
Caroline talks about what has helped make her marriage work with such an unconventional job for both her and her sailor husband, swap embarrassing mom stories, and have some real talk when it comes to raising young kids.This is a fun one, especially for working moms who are grateful for their support system or may be wondering if they can still do what they want in life if they become a mom. (Spoiler alert, Amber and Caroline say YES you can)!
