Parent Supportive Open Roles
I’m excited to announce I’ve joined Auggie as a Certified Expert, where I’ll continue to support expectant moms and new parents navigating career transitions during early parenthood! Auggie is free to join, and full of incredible resources and a vibrant community of supportive parents!
I’m partnering with Auggie because, like me, they’re all about supporting parents with resources and a community of advice. Auggie is a vibrant space where parents connect, share recommendations, and discover trusted products and services — all designed to make your parenting journey a bit easier.
And I’ll be hosting my first community event next Friday April 3rd from 10-10:45am PT! Join us for an informal community conversation around Career Transitions in Motherhood. It’s free to attend.
** And, don’t miss Auggie CEO Lily Walla, on our Summit Panel “Raising Funds & Families”
[A Quick Word From Our Sponsor to our Sandwich Generation 🥪]
“Should your parents’ home be in a trust? Read RightWise Wealth’s blog post here to understand why the answer is probably yes. Talking with your parents about their end-of-life is tricky – especially if you yourself haven’t taken care of the personal admin that would protect your family if something happened to you. Consider working with a financial advisor who can help with the mental load of mortality – and its associated stack paperwork. (Marketing disclosures here.)”
We went from vision to summit launch in one month, passing 100 ticket registrations this week! We are so encouraged to see that there is a real need for a community event like this, and it’s clear others agree!
Meet some of our incredible partners…
Read their announcement here. And my love letter to them here!
As part of our partnership, attendees who sign up for the Community Pass ($97), will have access to live sessions, recordings, and 4 months membership to the Society of Working Moms (worth $119).

Read their announcement here. And my giddy announcement here.
We’re excited to host The Mom Project President, Tricia House, in a fireside chat about Workplace Change for Parents & Caregivers. The chat will be facilitated by Elixr Co-founders Jess Ringgenberg and Elle Lebourg.
The Mom Project says it like it is - “Smart companies know the truth: That moms take care of business and beyond. That no two careers look the same. That parenting skills sharpen business skills. Simply put, 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙨#*𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚!”
With 2 million moms, dads, and allies in their marketplace, they deliver flexible hiring solutions that support the needs of businesses for remote, hybrid, or onsite talent.
We’re honored for their partnership, and for sharing this summit as a career development opportunity for their community of parent talent and employers!
