Happy Sunday!

Anyone else already in the schedule upheaval of snow? It's a lot!

But despite that, I'm popping into your inbox today with a special weekend edition of my newsletter because I have a had a lot of great questions about my Ambitious Mothers Mastermind program and wanted to share those with everyone.

I stated running these groups a while ago, because I have experienced- both as a group member and a group leader- the power of being in a supportive, small, group. The experience of feeling seen, validated, and championed by a group of women who GET it and are in it with you is amazing.

Of course, for my fellow data-lovers, the science backs that up too. Social support and connection are paramount to pretty much all positive wellness outcomes.

I believe, and have seen in my clients, that this group can really make a difference. I love running it and am happy to talk to each and everyone of you about any questions that you have. If you have one that I do not answer below, or even if you are just curious, reply to this email or book some time with me here.

So without further ado, the questions:
​
​1) Do I have to work full time?​
Nope! Whether you work 2 hours a week or 100, you are welcome to join. Even if you are not currently working- I've had moms join who were laid off and find work through the group!
​
​2) Why is it 6 months?​
Real change takes time. This is not an overnight fix or hack- it's insight driven and 6 months gives you the time to practice new behaviors and ask lots of questions along the way. It also gives you the space to form strong connections with your peers.
​
​3) I have been on a career pause and am just contemplating a return to work. Is it a fit for me?​
Yes! I have had a few members returning from a long leave or a career break- the program is a great fit for anyone in a transition phase.
​
​4) When does it start?​
One-on-one meetings start as soon as you sign up, and the group will start towards the end of March.
​
​5) My kids are tweens- would I still be a good fit? ​
Yes! All ages of kids are welcome. I've had moms of infants through teenagers join the program.
​
​6) I don't know if I can afford it- do you offer scholarships?​
You bet! I never want cost to be the reason that someone doesn't get the support they need, so I always have low cost options. Just reach out and I can get you that info. In addition, many people have been able to get the program covered through their employer. I have a template that can help with that ask.
​
​7) When do the groups meet?​
Because I keep the group small, we pick a time that works for all the group members- so it will for sure fit in your schedule.

8) What is the format of the program?​
We meet as a group two times a month, and between those meetings you also get recorded content from me- webinars, worksheets, exercises, etc. In addition, we have an ongoing slack channel for ongoing access and questions. You also get a one-on-one meetings with me, as well as 2 formal assessments about work/personality style and strengths and other fun additions.

​
​8) How do I join?​
The first step is to fill out an interest form here. Then we will meet to talk about your goals and make sure it's a good fit. From there, we can get you signed up for your first meeting!

I hope that covers a lot of information for you all- Again, I'm always here to answer more anytime!

See you back here Wednesday for our regularly scheduled newsletter!
