Episode Details

You are a better mom because you work, your kids are better because you work and your work is getting a better employee because you're a mom. These three core beliefs are at the heart of achieving an ambitious and balanced life. In today’s podcast I will breakdown how each of these three beliefs are true and give detailed evidence for why and how to start believing them.

Topics in this episode:

• Why staying home with my kids would not have been better for them
• What your employer gains since you returned from maternity leave
• Daughters are 20% more likely to work, make more money and hold leadership positions if their mom worked
• The importance of questioning your beliefs about working & motherhood
• Why it matters that you actually want to work
• The mindset of a working mom
• A story about finding the right daycare and what I learned from it
