Working Mom Life: What’s Next?

Join us for a conversation about what comes next for working moms in the next normal.

Almost two years into the pandemic, working-mom-life is still high on stress and low on predictability. Every time we settle into a new phase, something changes.

As we look toward the busy of the holiday season and the approach of a new year, join us for Working Mom Life: What's Next?, a conversation on Wednesday, November 17th at 8pm Eastern about working motherhood in the next normal: what can we expect in the next chapter and how can we equip ourselves to thrive?

Facilitated by executive coach and Something Major Founder, Randi Braun, we invite you to join our dynamic panel of experts for a wide-ranging conversation about everything covering both the "working" and the "mom" parts of our lives in this next phase.
