Working moms are feeling the pressure. The post-pandemic burnout is real and today I'm diving in to all of the factors that really contribute. I'm giving some serious transparency on my own opinions on what employers, and decision-makers can do to create equity in the workforce in order to accommodate caregiving workers instead of creating blanket statements for all. There has been TONS in the news lately in complete opposition of workplace equity, and with the mental health crisis of the world, I'm strongly suggesting that caregiving employees advocate for their own personal wellness—including managing all of your responsibilities outside of work, aka parenting-out-loud. Enjoy! If you're a working mom looking to 'find the joy' and begin on that journey of advocating for yourself, first you need to know what it is you're going to ask for.

True self-care is about taking care of yourself in the most intimate ways and building connections with yourself to understand who you are.
