Cohort 1 (April 2025)

Are you looking for a playbook on how to get promoted after having kids without sacrificing your limited personal time for professional demands? After becoming a mom, you may feel like your identity is being pulled in different directions, no longer just tied to your career but also deeply connected to motherhood. Navigating these two worlds while honoring your personal goals and priorities can feel complicated. When trying to balance it all, many ambitious moms experience an endless loop of: Overwhelm from the demands of career and motherhoodImposter syndrome from less focus and energy at workMom guilt for not being available enough at home Work-life balance is a myth that forces you to choose between your career and personal life, leading to constant compromise and guilt. Instead, we’ll focus on aligning your values, energy, and time to help you succeed as an ambitious mom so you can grow your career. In this course, you'll learn how to: - Define ambition on your terms by aligning your vision with your values and long-term goals.- Design a flexible schedule that maximizes your energy and keeps burnout in check.- Negotiate success with your manager to advance your career while maintaining boundaries.- Implement systems to lighten your mental load and focus on what matters most. By the end of this course, you'll have a personalized plan to win at work that aligns your professional and personal life, ensuring you thrive as a leader and a mom. Along the way, you’ll develop the confidence to integrate motherhood with your career, without making sacrifices. And you'll be part of an intimate community of ambitious women who want to achieve professional goals while parenting young kids. With:- Actionable templates and worksheets to help define values, set career goals, and maintain boundaries.- Case studies of real-life examples from thriving moms in leadership roles.- A toolbox of tips and tricks with my favorite science-backed strategies for time management. Why I made this course: After my first daughter was born, I faced imposter syndrome and went back to work early to "feel like my old self again." Though I got promoted (twice!) after going back, I was constantly seeking out advice from moms who’d been there. During my second maternity leave, I noticed a tipping point: many moms of 2 were struggling and leaving the workforce. I decided to build the playbook I wished I had to succeed at work after having kids. My parental leave coverage plan was featured as a guest post in Lenny's Newsletter. I’ve combined insights from my successful 14+ year career in finance and tech, lifelong study of mindfulness, and research on productivity to share practical strategies that will help you succeed as an ambitious mom.
