Podcast Episodes Available on Demand on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Being a working parent doesn't come with a user's manual. There are no instructions, no map, and most of us go through life just making it up as we go along, trying to figure it all out and stay ahead of the curve. And sometimes, just when we think we've got it down, life throws us a surprise that tests our patience and spirit. What does that look like for today's working parents? What insights and strategies can help you keep all the balls in the air – and pick them back up when they fall to the ground? What do leading thinkers envision for the future of work and life, and what do employers need to understand about the challenges and successes of their caregiving employees? You'll leave each episode with personal and professional insights, new perspectives, and stories to help you realize you're not alone. Laugh with us, cry with us, and find emotional support as we navigate this new reality together. We believe when we come together, everyone benefits.
