You’re not alone, Mompowerment mama!

"We need to change work and expectations and that is not easy but I promise you it is indeed possible." –  Allison Venditti, Founder of Moms at Work Share Tweet Forward Mompowerment Thoughts Hi read, How are you? How were your holidays? Are you enjoying the start of 2023 so far? I wanted to start out this year with a message for my fellow Mompowerment mamas. You're amazing! You're doing enough. You're probably doing more than enough, actually. On top of all the usual things you do, you showed up, doing double duty for 2+ years. (Where is your teacher of the year award anyway?) Working motherhood already has its hard moments and seasons. The pandemic made it much harder. And you're still showing up, giving it your best. That says a lot! And it means a lot to those around you. Know that you're not alone in all you do. Your fellow working mamas are standing with you, shoulder to shoulder. And things are changing, some things have a compressed timeline (like companies embracing flexible work), and some things are moving slowly. Many companies have listened to your needs. City officials are acting. Legislators are starting to take action. More support for working mamas like you is coming. As you look at whatever you want from 2023, don't feel like you're doing it solo. Don't feel like you're alone in carrying your hopes and your burdens. You don't have to figure it all out alone. I'm right here to support you. All of your fellow Mompowerment mamas are next to you, cheering you on. We'll help your strengths shine. We'll support you in your struggles. So, this year I'm working to continue to amplify other Mompowerment mamas' voices on my social media. I hope to share more stories and voices here in the newsletter as well as share ideas, tips, and advice to help you be your best self. You'll also feel supported in new ways. I'll be sharing more resources with you throughout the year. So, remember this. I believe in all you're trying to achieve – at work, at home, and the balance between. You've got this! Sending a virtual high five your way, Suzanne PS Pass this on to a fellow working mama who needs to hear this. Let her know you've got her back.  Share Tweet Forward How Can I Help You?
