Join me for an inspiring conversation with Lauren Smith Brody, author and founder of The Fifth Trimester, as we explore the realities and challenges of being a working parent.
In this episode we discuss:
- The one thing that Lauren has observed to most galvanize people to stand up for their needs and their family's needs in the workplace.
- Dr. Sarah shares the oh-so-relatable working-mom struggle that led her to be 8 months pregnant, crying alone in a coffee shop.
- How to step back and identify if the “rules” aren’t working for you and how you can start to feel more empowered to break them (even when it’s hard!)
- A simple strategy for making it easier for your work to say yes to your requests (Hint: The first step is understanding why it’s an economically good decision for your boss to make the accommodations you’re requesting.)
- What a small business owner can do to support working parents when they don’t necessarily have the financial resources to do all the big-ticket items they wish they could.
- How employers can help their teams “resentment-proof” their career and their lives with solutions for the future.
Tune in for a conversation packed with insights on how to empower working moms and transform workplace culture!
