For so many years, women are forced to choose between balancing the physical and emotional needs of being a new mother and the financial needs of returning to work.

It's 2022. This needs to change.

It's time to prioritize parental leave by having better systems in place to help new parents transition smoothly, strengthen their families, and continue to build better careers.

All these are at the core of the new book, The Parental Leave Playbook: 10 Touchpoints to Transition Smoothly, Strengthen Your Family, and Continue Building Your Career.
