All mothers are working mothers.

At The Motherhood Collective we support all mothers whether you choose to work outside the home, in the home, or a mix of both, no matter your choices, you deserve to feel supported.

Transitioning back to work after having a baby can be a challenging transition no matter when it happens. While we know it won’t be easy, there are some strategies you can put into place to help it go a little smoother.

Join career coach and gender studies expert, Dr. Jodi Vandenberg-Daves for a power hour of strategies to help smooth the transition back to work after your baby comes. We’ll put any anxiety you may have into perspective. Hint: our society could do a lot more to support new mothers and babies in all their transitions, especially this one! But we’ll also get your toolkit ready.

We’ll talk about how to:
-Plan for New Routines
-Advocate & Communicate at Work & at Home
-Level up your Mindset
-Set up Your Support Systems
-Embrace the Mess—and the Opportunities!
-Build Community & Learn from Others

✨Testimonial✨

“ I had the best possible birth experience I could dream of— I was able to fulfill my goal of unmedicated labor. A lot of the tools I used, I learned from the Childbirth Education class and prenatal yoga. I kept telling myself, “I can do this, I will do this, I am already doing this” and next thing I knew, he was here!” - Emily H

We are so grateful for the opportunity to support women in the transition into parenthood. It makes our hearts so full to hear this feedback.🥹❤️

Come see for yourself how this community can make a difference in your pregnancy, labor, birth, & postpartum experience.

Being a parent is hard enough. Let’s choose to love & support each other.🌈

Our mission at The Motherhood Collective is to support, uplift, and empower women, mothers, & those that identify as such, as they enter into parenthood and the years that follow. 

We acknowledge that families can be built in so many different ways.  At The Motherhood Collective we strive to be inclusive allies.  We believe that all families and birthing people deserve support.  

We are grateful to serve a diverse community of mothers and we are honored to support each of you, no matter where you are at in your parenthood journey or how your family is built.
