Do you ever feel like you are being forced to choose between your family and your career?
Colleen Curtis, Chief Community Officer at the Mom Project, joins me today to discuss how they are working towards a future where women no longer have to choose.
The Mom Project is a digital marketplace that connects family-friendly employers who ”get it” with moms who are looking for more work-life balance without the guilt - because we all have enough of that already!
Colleen will share why the Mom Project was created, how COVID-19 has exacerbated the caregiving crisis that was already present before the pandemic, and what they’ve found in the research about gender inequity in the home when it comes to working moms still doing the lion’s share of the parenting.
We’ll also discuss the silver linings that have come from COVID-19 (yes, there are some!), such as 55% of women being able to de-tether from toxic workplaces by working remotely, and how the pandemic has been the catalyst that has exposed all the flaws that have been weighing so heavily - and often silently - on working moms for so long.

The #1 word I hear from Mamas is: CONFLICTED
Do you know that feeling?
If you’re great at work, you’re not the mom you want to be, if you’re focused on your kids, your work begins to suffer, and somewhere in all of this, the time you spend on your partner, friendships, relatives, chores...and (maybe you) all feel at odds with one another.
Can you relate?
As modern moms we’re skilled at juggling it all, but keeping all those balls in the air can leave us drained and burnt out.
There's a better way.
How You Ask?
The change happens when you build a life that’s: CENTERED
Come join me for the one-day Centered Mamas Live Retreat on January 30th. Me, along with a host of experts & thought leaders, will educate you on building and achieving a Centered Life where you are spending more time on what matters most to you and freeing up time spent on tasks/household duties and chores.
We will also create YOUR very own centered life blueprint and learn how to live according to what matters most to you.
This retreat will give you the tools and inspiration to be the kind of mom you want to be.
I know first-hand that working mom life is hard, but I also know it doesn’t have to be impossible.
Trust me. The best way to get unstuck isn’t to work harder. It’s to use a framework that gets real results, no matter what area you need to tackle first.
