Our Mission

Fiercely protecting your rights as a Mother

Our mission is to empower and inspire women to become educated about their rights at work so that they can embrace their motherhood journey without compromising their career growth.

Welcome Mamas!

Congratulations! If you’re here, it means you’re pregnant (woohoo) or just had a baby (awwww) or assisting a loved one with pregnancy or baby (good for you!)

You’re also here because you want to educate yourself about your rights at work. Maybe you want to know how to maximize your time with your baby, maybe your boss is just an absolute jerk to you since you became pregnant, maybe everything has been different since you’ve returned from leave, or maybe you just got fired right when you needed your employer’s support the most.

Whatever the reason, you’re probably exhausted. You may be reading this with your phone resting on your bump in between work meetings or while serving as a mattress for a sleeping baby. You’re busy, and the last thing you need is to sift through endless regulations.

And this … is … confusing! How many more acronyms do we need!? FMLA, CFRA, EDD, PFL… I mean… WTF!? When you ask your HR about your leave they will say things like “these run concurrently” and you’ll think to yourself, “I just want to know how much leave I can take.” Your boss is probably more worried about your upcoming absence than excited you are experiencing the miracle of life. Truth is, when it comes to your family, your employer may not know or care how to help you.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Amy "I had a wonderful HR generalist during my pregnancies but this is still so important because I’m pretty sure HR can’t say “hey, by the way, did you know you can ask your doctor for more disability time if you aren’t ready to come back?” Ultimately, I feel like they need to walk the fine line of keeping the company’s interests in mind (ie not volunteering information) even if they personally want to help the women. My first pregnancy I was out for 4 months just going off of what my HR rep told me. My second pregnancy after finding mama attorney I was out for 10…"

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Kai W. "Thank you so much for what you are doing! I don't feel alone at all. You give us the courage to stand up for ourselves as parents and not have to choose between work and our kids. So kindhearted and full of compassion. Forever grateful for helping me and my situation."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Jessie M "Thank you for being an advocate for parents. Thank you so much for the very informative and empowering "Know your rights" webinar. Often working women are afraid to ask for a leave or an accommodation in fear of being seen as unproductive or inflexible. We bear the burden of having to remain productive, even if that means working through the night. You educating us on our rights and helping us educate our employers is truly eye-opening. I am sharing this webinar with many parents."
