CLAIRE HOLMES on Parental Leave Transitions for Employers and Employees

You know the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child," but what happens when that village is also juggling a career? 


Join me in a deep-dive conversation with Claire Holmes, founder of Mama Collaborative. Claire's journey from corporate consultant to entrepreneurial advocate for working moms is nothing short of inspiring. We learn about her own struggle to balance her career with motherhood and how this led her to create a platform to support and guide other working moms through the complex transition of maternity leave.


In this episode, we explore the present state of parental leave policies and the steps that can be taken to make these more supportive and sustainable. We discuss how employers can nurture a healthier work environment, prevent resentment, and help parents smoothly transition back to work. We also delve into the hard-hitting realities of motherhood and its reverberating effects on women's careers.


Claire also gives us a look into the services offered by Mama Collaborative. From one-on-one coaching to online courses, each resource is tailored to empower new moms in their journey back to the workplace. We discuss the importance of intentional planning and staying connected with other parents during this crucial phase. You'll gain practical insights and tangible advice whether you're a working parent on the brink of transition or an employer seeking ways to better support your employees. 


I hope you enjoy our conversation.
