Turning parenthood into a career asset for working moms and dads with The Fifth Trimester's Lauren Smith Brody

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Lauren Smith Brody, author and founder of The Fifth Trimester, as we explore the realities and challenges of being a working parent.

In this episode we discuss:

- The one thing that Lauren has observed to most galvanize people to stand up for their needs and their family's needs in the workplace.

- Dr. Sarah shares the oh-so-relatable working-mom struggle that led her to be 8 months pregnant, crying alone in a coffee shop.

- How to step back and identify if the "rules" aren't working for you and how you can start to feel more empowered to break them (even when it's hard!)

- A simple strategy for making it easier for your work to say yes to your requests (Hint: The first step is understanding why it's an economically good decision for your boss to make the accommodations you're requesting.)

- What a small business owner can do to support working parents when they don't necessarily have the financial resources to do all the big-ticket items they wish they could.

- How employers can help their teams "resentment-proof" their career and their lives with solutions for the future.

Tune in for a conversation packed with insights on how to empower working moms and transform workplace culture!
