  • Bonus for YOU!: Work Options Beyond the 9 to 5 - A Unique Virtual Event!
    Feb 21 2025

    Hello mommas ⭐

    Ever wondered about different working arrangements beyond the full time hustle?πŸ’» πŸ’Ό

    It's a little bit of a different episode today because I wanted to introduce our first-ever virtual session on Innovative Work Strategies for Modern Moms! This means so much to me because I’ve been there. Becoming a mom can feel so overwhelming that figuring out how to thrive at work again just gets pushed way down the list (that was me πŸ™ˆ).

    Truth is β€”almost every working mom has, at point, wondered about alternatives to their pre-mom work life. That’s why I’m beyond excited to bring together this amazing panel of experts to share their stories, insights, and advice as we dive into fresh, game-changing ideas on how to juggle career and motherhoodβ€”whether you're exploring portfolio careers, solopreneurship, job sharing, or planning your return to work. πŸ’‘πŸ’ͺπŸ”—
