Sick days don’t have to derail your career! As a mom of three who has worked closely with engineers and STEM professionals, I’ve learned the value of having a solid process in place. Every time one of my kids wakes up sick, it feels like my carefully planned day goes out the window. But with a clear SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and the right tools, those disruptions can be managed efficiently. Today at 12 PM MT / 2 PM ET, I’ll be hosting a workshop with Kirsten Eeuwes, P.Eng., where we’ll explore the Pros&Babes ultimate sick days plan. We’ll cover everything from defining your Vision of Success to creating an Annual Planning Session that ensures you’re ready for any scenario. You’ll hear real-life examples of how other moms have successfully navigated this challenge, and you’ll get a sneak peek at our workbook, which includes decision trees, morning routines, lists, and more. If you want a handbook for when the sick days start, come join us: https://lnkd.in/g5MnD8qm. Watch your inbox for your Zoom invite! ✉️

With three kids at home, I know how quickly sick days can disrupt everything. 🛑 It’s like your perfectly planned day just crumbles in front of you. But after working closely with engineers and STEM professionals, I’ve learned that with the right process, it doesn’t have to be that way. By planning ahead and building in flexibility, you can handle sick days without letting them take over your life. On September 4, I’m hosting a workshop where I’ll share the strategies that have worked for me and many other working moms. You’ll learn how to create a robust sick day SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) that keeps your career on track while ensuring your family feels supported. Plus, you’ll get a preview of our workbook, packed with tools like Morning Routines and Engagement and Rest strategies for your kids. Ready to take control of your sick days?

Social media bombards us daily with images and stories of everyone's seemingly perfect lives, filled with achievements and busyness. Like many others, I juggle a busy life as a wife, mum, daughter, pets, friends, property investments, networking, a demanding career as a senior embryologist, and the never-ending tasks of cleaning, shopping, and chauffeuring the kids. Most days start at 5 am, and weekends often involve working on rotation. This isn't meant to be a "look at me" moment. It's a reminder that sometimes it's important to carve out some personal time, even if it's stolen moments here and there (not entirely possible with a resident Labrador, but we can try!). Yes, it's great to see everyone's achievements and successes, but that's not possible for everyone or all the time. Don't feel guilty when you just need to take time for yourself. We work hard, and sometimes doing something as small as loading the dishwasher is enough and feels like a huge achievement. Celebrate the small stuff as well as the big wins. Please reach out if you just need someone to chat to, or give you a high five for those small things!

In our fast-paced professional environment, it's easy to get caught up in daily tasks and forget to prioritize our own well-being. The constant drive to achieve can lead to burnout, affecting not only our personal health but also our ability to work effectively and inspire our teams. It’s crucial to take intentional pauses to reflect and recharge, allowing us to realign with what truly matters. I am excited for Living Well at Texas A&M to work with Kristen Hadeed and present the R&R Retreat to Texas A&M University faculty and staff employees on June 11 from 9:30am - 11:00am. This is an event designed to help employees, and/or their team, take a much-needed break and focus on what’s most important both personally and professionally. Employees/teams investing in themselves and attending will... 1. Reflect on Your Priorities: Step away from the daily grind to evaluate what’s working well and identify areas for improvement. 2. Recalibrate Your Focus: Gain clarity on your personal and professional goals, ensuring alignment with your core values and mission. 3. Recharge Your Energy: Learn strategies to boost your well-being, ensuring you have the energy to lead effectively. 4. Re-center Your Leadership: Rediscover your passion and purpose, enhancing your impact as a leader. 5. Refuel Your Inspiration: Engage with like-minded peers, share experiences, and find motivation to drive positive change. 6. Reset for Success: Develop actionable plans to implement necessary shifts that will benefit both you and your team. Remember: If you do not take a break, you will break. Take the opportunity to pause, reflect, and refocus on what truly matters.
