Village Gathering: Working Parents Respond To Surgeon General's Advisory
The U.S. Surgeon General just confirmed what we've known all along: being a working parent is tough on our mental health.
What's more, 65% of parents say they feel lonely.
We can do something about both these things.
Join us for an hour of real talk, reflection, and community as we navigate the choppy waters of career, parenting, and self-care.
Together, let's rally and challenge the "rules" that leave us feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.
We'll spend our time by...
Unpacking the Working Parent Paradox: Why juggling it all feels impossible
Examining the unspoken "rules" driving our exhaustion
Reflecting on what truly matters to you (not Instagram or your boss)
You'll walk away with...
Connection with fellow parents in the same boat
Practical strategies to lighten your mental load
Renewed sense that you are "enough" (because you are!)
This is for you if...
You're tired of feeling like you're failing at work, home, and self-care
You crave connection with other parents who "get it"
You're ready to challenge societal expectations and redefine success on your terms
You want practical tips to start making changes today

About Jess Weisz
I've come to realize that my limitless pursuit of professional growth and daily bath time don't mix.
After years in consulting, banking, and tech startups, I founded Rule Breaker to help working parents thrive by challenging societal expectations.
Frustrated with events that are more about celebration than progress, I host gatherings to reflect, discuss and act. As a speaker, writer, and working mom, I believe in the power of community to transform our experiences. Let's challenge the status quo together.
