Listen "85. Leading Through Maternity Leave with Lori Mihalich-Levin"
Episode Synopsis
Welcoming a child into our family turns our world upside down. It can be a lonely and very challenging time. Our guest today, Lori Mihalich-Levin, talks about how the birth of her two sons turned her world upside down and left her in a spiral of both chaos and beauty. She searched for support for getting through this time, but could not find any…so she created them. Working with thousands of working caregivers and those who employ them, she makes this transitional time one that enables leaders to not just survive, but to grow, thrive and advance their careers. We have a conversation packed with practical advice for caregivers and leaders of caregivers and I know you'll get a lot out of it.
