Step into a supportive community event designed especially for working mothers navigating the challenges of balancing work and family life. This gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who understand your journey and to gain valuable insights from expert speakers.
You will hear from a local PhD researcher and mother who shares groundbreaking research on the realities faced by working mothers with young children. A panel of seven local experts will provide practical advice on managing the transition back to work, handling the invisible load, and moving from striving to thriving.
