Special Weekend Edition: FAQ's


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!

For a long time, I believed that being a good mother meant giving as much of myself as possible, especially my time. So when my kids were little, I stopped doing yoga. Not even intentionally and not because I didn’t love it. I did. It had been part of my life for years, something that grounded me and gave me a sense of myself outside of everything I was responsible for. But I couldn’t justify it anymore. I was already working, already away from them during the day. Taking more time, even an...

Years before I became a mother, I was a doctoral student studying identity transitions, and the transition to motherhood. I added a few open-ended questions to a survey for new mothers, expecting what researchers usually expect — a sentence or two, maybe a handful of longer responses. Instead, nearly everyone wrote essays. They wrote about their bodies, their marriages, their loneliness, their ambition, their confusion about who they were becoming. They wrote about feeling invisible and...

A client once sat across from me, eyes red from crying, shoulders curved inward, and said very quietly: “Maybe this is a sign.” Her nanny had quit the week before. No warning. Just quit. The logistics were chaotic- missed meetings, scrambling for backup care, recalculating the month. That was hard, but that wasn’t what was undoing her. It was the meaning she was making. “Maybe I wanted too much,” she said. “Maybe this is what happens when you try to do both.” I have heard versions of this so...
