An incredible resource for moms!

🚨 American women typically earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. As Jessica Grose writes for The New York Times: "In a country where women are now a (slight) majority of the college-educated labor force and the annual earnings median for college degree holders is 55 percent more than that of those with high school diplomas, the stickiness of this gap is frustrating. While there are several factors at play, one of the key contributors to the gap is what’s known as the motherhood penalty and the corresponding fatherhood premium: Women’s pay decreases when they have children, while men’s pay increases." In her latest Opinion piece, Jessica dives deeper into why pay equality - and the gender pay gap as a whole - is a larger cultural problem. Read more ⬇️

We'll talk about 🔹 What it's like to be a mom at work today (and envision something better for tomorrow) 🔹 What "Matrescence" is and why it matters (it's not as mystical as it sounds!) 🔹 What coaching really is—and how it can show up at work 🔹 What all this means for companies and how YOU can advocate for your coworkers—even if you're not a mom yourself This is an *interactive* event!

THRILLED to Announce ✨ The Motherhood Initiative ✨ , a collaboration between neli and Jess Ringgenberg at ELIXR! The Motherhood Initiative is our answer to the systemic gaps that exist for moms in the workforce today. It’s a totally comprehensive, completely holistic support system for women and moms in the workforce AND the companies that employ them. When companies choose to work with The Motherhood Initiative, they get the best of both neli and ELIXR. ⭐ ELIXR’s consulting and coaching services help them build organizational muscle around understanding motherhood, its impact on businesses, and how to close the gaps for working moms and their teams. ⭐ neli’s platform gives moms the space to learn, share, and grow together, addressing the physical and emotional aspects of motherhood alongside corporate and career-focused content. Corporate leaders and career coaches work in tandem with doctors, therapists, and more to create content specific to working mothers and provide a holistic resource hub for the woman’s total well-being. ----------- There are so many fights that need to be fought in this space. I think, for me, that’s been one of the hardest things to navigate as a founder. Where do we focus? What do we do? How do we actually make an impact where it feels impossible? We decided early on that neli would be a collaborator—finding ways to partner with other people and organizations doing hard, good work and pushing forward together. I am beyond excited to start this work with Jess because we believe that this is the first domino that has to fall. We want moms to see their true value in the workforce and be equipped to THRIVE.  -AND- We want companies to *really* understand the value that their moms bring to the workforce and be determined to support them—because it’s better for their moms, for their businesses, for families, and for communities. Let’s go. 👏 📣 📣 📣 P.S. We're hosting a meetup for moms to chat through the struggles we all face—and brainstorm solutions together. You can meet up with me and Jess and learn more about how we can help your workplace, too. Register here: https://lu.ma/163t6xew Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/erUXB7Md

When the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was first announced, neli sat down with Rachel Steinhofer from Barrett McNagny LLP to learn what it tangibly means for women. So glad to see the rule come through yesterday further protecting women. If you're curious to learn more about the PWFA, FMLA, Breastfeeding law, or any other workplace rights related to pregnancy, Rachel has a whole series in our community.

Working moms IRL ❤️

Wondering when it's a good time to ask about a benefits package in the interview process? Us too! Jacqueline Hee broke it down.

We recently interviewed Jillian Smith on the podcast and she shared that she received 16 weeks for maternity leave and then 8 weeks of transitional time which gave her 4 weeks back at 50% then 4 weeks back at 75%.

Have you registered for our *FREE* leadership event? Emily will walk us through what it really means to have "executive presence," how a mom's unique skillsets and emotional intelligence are assets as a leader, common challenges women face while trying to rise through the ranks in the workplace (and how to manage them), and what it means for leaders—especially females—to bring their full selves to work.
