See How One Woman Silently Took a Giant Leap Forward For Working Moms

The television-viewing world got a bird's-eye view of a working mother's juggling act if they were watching MSNBC last week. Rebecca Traister, the senior editor at The New Republic, a book author, and a new mother, appeared on Chris Hayes's show to discuss the impact of the Hillary Clinton email scandal. And while Traister's commentary on Clinton's chances for a presidential nomination are important to hear, it's what she didn't say that's making the biggest impact — resting in a baby carrier on Traister's chest throughout the interview was Bella, her newborn daughter.

Bella slept cradled in her mother's arms throughout the entire segment, and minus a quick comment by Hayes at the start of the interview — "Rebecca, also in the midst of clearly having it all with her new daughter, Bella, by her side" — the baby's presence was a nonissue. And that's what has working moms everywhere shouting "bravo"!

At a time when there's so much being said about "women having it all" and the "juggling act" working moms face — Traister herself is the author of several pieces about the state of the working mom and maternity-leave policies in the US — Traister demonstrated just how natural it is to blend motherhood and career. Though she was on maternity leave, she didn't want to miss the Emily's List dinner where Clinton was speaking. So she brought her 9-week-old daughter with her. When MSNBC called to see if she could speak to them during the event, she didn't think twice. And when the producers hooked her up to a mic while Bella was sleeping, Traister and the MSNBC team went with the flow.

"It seemed totally natural," Hayes told Fortune. Traister added, "I was on a show that wasn't put off by having a guest with a baby strapped to her, at a conference of people who understand the way that parenthood bumps into work life."

And that, my friends, is how naturally the two worlds can intertwine.
