Summary

A mother’s fear and emotional struggle of going back to work once they have a baby has gotten worse and worse over the last few years. It’s almost impossible not to experience these feelings considering the cost of childcare and lack of maternity leave options. My guest, Kimberly Didrikson, created a company called Learning Motherhood to help mothers navigate that transitional time more smoothly. Leaving your baby at home will never be easy, but there lies hope in these tips and resources she provides to ease the anxieties that mothers feel. Kimberly Didrikson is the founder of Learning Motherhood, a consulting agency and online community platform that helps women returning to work after having a baby from feeling overwhelmed with motherhood and career to thriving in navigating the changes that occur when becoming a mother and also pursuing a career. Kimberly spent 15 years growing her career at a Fortune 100 company and, as a director, managed teams with portfolios of over $20 million in yearly sales... yet nothing prepared her for growing and birthing a child and returning to work. In this episode we discuss: Tips for negotiating your transition back to work Ways to reduce anxiety when you leave your child with someone else The reality behind “mom guilt” and how it can differ by country The legal rights each mother has in the workplace Resources: Frequently Asked Questions: Break Time for Nursing Mothers House Passes Bill to Ensure Breastfeeding Rights for More Working Moms Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do Connect with Kimberly: Website Blog Instagram: @learningmotherhood Facebook: @lrnmotherhood SHOW NOTES: https://lynzyandco.com/podcast/ Follow along on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
