I’m interviewing and have decided to own being a mom and the career choices I made along that journey. It’s really a powerful experience to just bring myself to these meetings. Wanted to share in case a) there are any of you out there feeling like it’s not an option b) it backfires spectacularly and I end up working at Homegoods this winter.

I don’t hide it, even when interviewing. My kids’ art is my backdrop during video calls and is often an icebreaker. Being a mom has made me a better manager, a more patient client & internal partner, as well helping me focus on the things that really matter. Anyone who doesn’t want those attributes on their team isn’t someone I’m interested in working for.

Yes!!!

I love that you are owning being a mom and bringing that to the table as an advantage to employers, not something to hide. I hope the companies you are interviewing with appreciate and respect that!

Here’s a feel-good story... I’m a mom of 2 kids under 5, went the first 6 months of the pandemic without any childcare while WFH... and I was promoted to VP last month.

You CAN be a great mom and still be really effective at your job. And I’m proving it to an all-male leadership team! 💪🏼

I’m so with you and CHEERING 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏼 ON.

I’m unashamedly looking for jobs and bosses that work for me as a mom now and praying it works out. F*ck any employers that don’t see us as fully fledged humans outside of our jobs. Just...No.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
