In this candid conversation, I sit down with Brittney Newman, a Risk Consulting Director at a Big 4 firm and new mom, to talk about her recent return to work after having her son. Brittney shares the highs, the lessons, and how she “PMO’d” her life including putting everything into a spreadsheet to bring structure to this full, fast-moving season.

We dive into how she planned for maternity leave, what helped her navigate the transition back, and the honest experience of mom guilt. She also shares powerful advice for women in consulting considering motherhood, especially when it comes to the fear of “falling behind.” As Brittney reminds us: there’s no single path or timeline and don't put your life on hold for perfect timing.

Role models like Brittney are rare—don’t miss this conversation.
