About Event

β€‹πŸŒŸ Join us for a discussion on the mental load that comes with the shift in our personal and professional identities as high-performing, working mothers.

​You choose how you want to contribute to the conversation; turn on your camera, engage in the chat, or just listen.

​Keep reading for more event details. πŸ‘‡

​

β€‹πŸŒŸ What to expect (and what not to expect).

​During this event, a roundtable of working mamas will share their honest experiences about what it was really like when they returned to work after maternity leave.

​Even with a support system and financial stability, some women struggle during the postpartum period because their bodies (and brains) change drastically.

β€‹πŸ’ž We're hosting this event to bring awareness to the challenges working mothers might face, and to provide practical suggestions not just platitudes.

​

β€‹βœοΈ Rules

​1. Practice empathy and compassion. No judgment of anyone, including yourself.

​2. Ask for permission before offering advice. Even our best intentions can be misconstrued as "You're doing it wrong."

​3. Release expectations of how you "should" show up or where you "should" be.

​

​❗ We're serious about keeping this a safe space. Your registration must be approved first.

​If we cannot verify your identity, then your registration will be denied. If you break any of the rules during the event, you will be removed from the event without warning.

​

​1. Who is the event for?

β€‹πŸŽ€ Your Host

​

​Hey, I'm Susan! I'm a women empowerment career coach and workshop facilitator.

​I'm ten months post-partum and running my own business. When I returned to work at three months, I was prepared for the sleep deprivation and scheduling around daycare.

​I wasn't prepared for how the cognitive effects of giving birth would mess with my identity as a high-performer. At best, the mom brain is funny, but at worst, I was struggling to keep a coherent thought together.

​When I asked my [mom] friends why they didn't warn me about this, their responses were similar: "I forgot."

​Rather than relying on what we see on social media, I'm bringing together women who want to have a real conversation about the mental load of motherhood that isn't shown online.

​You can learn more about me and check out my 🌢️ content on LinkedIn.
