Being a new mom or working-mom can be hard. At Pros&Babes, we believe you should never be alone with the overwhelm of figuring out work/life balance on your own! Did you know that women can lose up to a million dollars over a lifetime, compared to men, because caring for our loved ones shapes our career paths on a much larger scale - and with lasting effects? And that 40% of women feel so unsupported after maternity leave, they feel like quitting the career they worked so hard for? It’s called the “motherhood penalty.”We’re here to change that! Let’s make sure motherhood is our greatest advantage and source of joy! This is the place where YOU, successful moms with small kids working in competitive, corporate and STEM careers come to: Redefine your priorities and values after having children with absolute clarity so that you’re confident about your decisions in parenting, relationships, and career, create work/life balance on your terms so that you can hold space for what brings you joy and meaning - and expand your impact in your career and community, play on the same team with your spouse so that both of you can fulfil your personal goals while being present parents and intimate partners… and find belonging in an outstanding community of fellow moms, so that you create a clear path forward and are never alone with crushing overwhelm, isolation, or fears about balancing life and work after kids again.We bring you the best tips, guest experts, and interviews to engineer your personal and professional success, without compromising family happiness or health. It doesn’t matter if you are pregnant, on maternity leave, or a working mom...if you love your career and want to build a life that helps you build success on YOUR terms, you’re in the right place!
