Today we're talking about something very near and dear to my heart. We're talking about how you take parental leave when you're a small business owner or an entrepreneur. Crossing the threshold into parenthood is a huge emotional as well as physical experience. If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur, it is a huge responsibility to shoulder that business and help it continue to move forward even as you are becoming a parent. So how do you have one foot in keeping your business going and one giant foot investing in being a new parent?  To have this conversation I welcomed Arianna Taboada founder of The Expecting Entrepreneur onto Yoga| Birth| Babies. She tells us how we can set ourselves up for parental leave as a small business owner. It's a really great conversation and she gives very concrete tools for those that will be facing having a baby while still shouldering the responsibility of owning a business.

Is it possible to run a successful business while balancing motherhood? Hell yeah! Although it's never going to be easy. If you're currently reviewing the question of daycare, thinking of having kids, or you're planning your maternity leave then this episode will hopefully help a lot as we're trying to plan and prepare for our second child. When expecting my first baby, my business was still a baby. We were living in Argentina and I'd recently launched this very podcast. When my daughter was born, things were hectic and life was tough. After relocating to Philly we eventually decided daycare would provide the best solution, allowing me to contribute to the family's finances while getting back to my business. This wasn't an easy decision and I had a ton of guilt to contend with (which I've gotten over for the most part). While we've had our ups and downs, there's been one thing that eventually allowed me to balance motherhood and business. And that's my husband (or the relationship we've cultivated over time). But, there's a little more to it than that... In this episode, I'm going to be sharing some details of the hardships of parenthood and the widely discussed topic of balancing work and family. I'm also going to be breaking down the moves I made in the business and the decisions that we made as a couple in order to optimize our lives as entrepreneurs while maximizing our effectiveness in parenthood.

This week we are deconstructing our episode from last week with Arianna Taboada.  If you haven't listened to that episode, go back and listen to Episode 30.  As a refresher, Arianna is  Maternal Health expert who runs a consulting firm that helps entrepreneurs design a maternity leave plan that fit their business model and personal needs.  This week we talk about our highs and lows this week, outsourcing, the mental load of motherhood, and maternity leave as we know it.   Listen as Kate & Liz discuss: Liz’s high - kids cooperating without huge resistance, even while accomplishing a lot. Kate’s high/low - kid landing in poop, because ...natural consequences. Learning how to outsource, what you can do and what is available to you. How little time you truly have when you’re home with littles. Keeping childcare/daycare even while on leave. Inviting or encouraging people to help and or visit and provide sanity saving help. After the first kid, help isn’t as obvious, you may just have to ask for it. Maternity Leave, how varied it can be - know your rights and advocate for yourself. What are we prioritizing if we don’t allow moms and families to bond and recover? Cultural change is exciting, but we don’t yet know the results of our societal shifts. You may need an expert to help you through the FMLA regulations in your state.   Links from Show: Episode 24: Kathy Stowell, Mom of 2 in the “golden age” of parenthood Natural Consequences Arianna’s Post-Partum Eco Map Kate’s Post-Partum Support Workbook Family Medical Leave Act EPISODE SPONSORS:   Crate Joy   This podcast is made possible by listeners, like you.  We believe that community is key to motherhood, we invite you to consider joining our Patreon community and supporting us with a monthly donation on our page: www.patreon.com/momdeconstructed.     If you would like to become one of our sponsors visit: www.momdeconstructed.com/advertising and start the conversation!   All our sponsor offers are available on our website.  To get all the discounts and perks go to www.momdeconstructed.com/sponsors   MORE FROM ARIANNA Arianna’s Website Follow Arianna on Facebook.

This week we chat with Arianna Taboada, a maternal health expert, about her motherhood journey.  Listen as she shares her expertise in the field, how she manages to get it all done (hint...outsourcing), and how she is the full time working parent in her relationship.  Arianna Taboada is a Maternal Health expert who helps entrepreneurs design a maternity leave plan that fit their business model and personal needs. She has worked for health systems, research institutions and in private practice on a range of women's health issues since 2002. Arianna earned her Masters of Social Work and Masters of Science in Maternal-Child Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.   Listen as Arianna shares how she: Was the primary breadwinner the first year of postpartum, a change in the original “plan”. And her family unexpectedly moved countries during the first year of being a mom. Adapted her self-care routine to what fits in her life now. Stopped reading all the books during her pregnancy, and just trusted what she already knew. Teaches to look to evidence AND reaching out to your community to make milestone parenting decisions.

Created her Postpartum Eco-Mapto prepare for your postpartum period Appreciates the time her husband has been able to be the primary, stay at home parent. Quotables: “I tend to lean toward not reading or searching for information.  First, I assess what I already know and my gut feeling.” - Arianna Taboada “If you make a decision on how to handle something and that doesn’t work out, it’s not a permanent decision.  You can make another decision. Very few choices are finite.” - Arianna Taboada “You are really vulnerable in this time when there is no economic safety net, a business safety net, and you are dealing with all the physiological, emotional, and physical changes that all mothers are going through.” - Arianna Taboada “To be honest, this has been the most challenging part of our marriage.  He [my husband] was home, I was working a lot, we moved countries, and we were in our first year of parenthood.” - Arianna Taboada Links from Show: Study by The Sage Group: 57% of startups are women looking for better work life balance.

During our conversation, she shares the details of her transition into motherhood and how she draws from her experience to create support plans for other women on their journey to motherhood. We get into how little emotional preparation women do before birth and how important it is to think about all the angles of support you will need.

I'm so happy to introduce you to Arianna Taboada. Arianna is a maternal health expert, author, and owner of a consulting firm that helps female founders intelligently design maternity leave plans that meet their business model and personal needs.  Today we're talking about the ways Arianna is creating a culture of mothering the mothers in our society by helping entrepeneurial mamas babyproof their businesses. Whether or not you're a mother, or an entrepeneur, this conversation sheds light on the lack of support women face as they enter motherhood, real talk about the challenges of becoming a mama, and some offerings of insight, healing, and support we can activate for ourselves. In this episode: * Motherhood as the great equalizer * Arianna's proposition that the lack of adequate maternity leave support in our culture is a serious social justice issue * Arianna talks about the lack of  any 'mothering the mother' values in our culture, and the issues this creates * Using an Eco-Map to pro-actively create a support system for ourselves and identify weak spots can help us to prevent crisis, and actually receive the support we need.

Arianna Taboada is a Maternal Health Consultant for Entrepreneurs and she had been working with moms for quite some time before she herself became pregnant.  She helps moms prep for maternity leave, because, let’s face it, there’s no perfect maternity leave formula for those of us who run our own businesses.   So when she became pregnant, Arianna wisely took all her wisdom and applied it to herself.  “I created a client slot for myself in my schedule.”   During this interview, Arianna talk about…   How her 4 month maternity leave plan got interrupted when her baby boy was 6 weeks old The biggest lesson she’s learned to make her mompreneur life work is to have dedicated time for work and dedicated time for her son...her schedule is a non-negotiable. Her thoughts about mommy groups and the kind of mommy play dates she had regularly in her son’s first year of life and how and why she chose to give that up as he got older. Why she doesn’t plan her business too far ahead!  As a matter of fact, she only make strategic plans for 1 quarter at a time!  This helps her stay focused on the next steps ahead, while allowing for all the twists, turns and changes that are bound to happen!   You can find out more about Arianna here → http://www.ariannataboada.com/

Birth planning is very important. Postpartum planning is essential. Arianna Taboada talks about so much, including some of the reasons we need this kind of support in the US specifically or places where maternity leave is not well supported. More specifically, these plans are very supportive for mothers who have any history or risk of perinatal mental health challenge, such as postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. We touch on: What is a postpartum plan and why do we need it? What's in a postpartum plan and what should be on there? "Who's your crew?" getting the support of others.

Arianna’s job description is fancy--Maternal Health Consultant for Entrepreneurs--but what it means is she most often works with first-time mamas-to-be who are entrepreneurs to help them create a smooth maternity leave plan that keeps their businesses thriving while their families grow. At this time of recording I was heavily pregnant, so of course talking with Arianna was incredibly timely and very helpful for me! And I know many of you out there have established businesses, but are thinking of adding more babies to your family. You’ll love what Arianna has to say. Welcome to the show, Arianna!

I was so curious to hear how this business started for her, and how she got into such a unique field. Turns out, Arianna has a Masters in Social Work from UNC, and a strong background in formal health center settings. She saw lots of female patients seek care for a variety of women’s health issues, and she really fell into focusing on women in that prenatal and postpartum window. (Or in sciency terms, the perinatal period: getting pregnant, being pregnant, having the baby, and figuring it out from there.) Arianna’s Masters in Social Work has an emphasis in Maternal and Child Health, which she admits is a very unique field! In fact, there are only a few programs left in the states focusing on supporting women, children, and families during this special, challenging, and always a bit uncertain time. She started out working in outpatient settings, like small health centers and federally qualified health centers. She worked in what’s known as the "Safety Net System," focusing on women who were very vulnerable, experiencing such things as homelessness and domestic violence. She began to realize that she was able to help these women navigate the pressures of caring for a family with tons of other pressures demanding their time, attention, and focus. Once she went into private practice and began supporting entrepreneurs, though the layers of vulnerability were different, the skills were very much the same. Arianna found that the approach to caring for new moms is universal: “Every mom needs a network of support. It’s not the time to do it all in business and life, it’s the time to identify your community support, professional support, and friend and family support.” We couldn’t agree more! Opening a Private Practice What did it look like for Arianna to move away from clinical care and towards getting private clients? She was prompted, as many business owners are, by a life transition. In 2012 her family moved away from their home in North Carolina to Mexico, where she lives now. But she loved the work she was doing and wanted to continue doing it! Once settled in her new home, she rented out space in a psychotherapy center. Arianna took the more formal model of counseling she was used to and adapted it to her new environment. This is also around the time Arianna began providing support via the Internet, which opened doors to reach even more moms. The first iteration of her practice was focused on postpartum health. A lot of Arianna’s early clients happened to be self-employed women and small business owners. This question of how to have a baby and get back to work” seemed to be recurring. Her practice grew through word-of-mouth marketing and Arianna was able to establish a pretty strong referral network for her services once the word got out. (Marketing was a huge learning curve for her; before private practice, Arianna only had to show up to work at the health center in order to get clients!) It wasn’t long before Arianna realized that providing support and counseling in the postpartum stage was often too late, especially for the mamas planning to go back to work. She could better meet the needs of her clients if she started earlier in the process. About 18 months ago, she shifted her business focus from postpartum to planning ahead for maternity leave and taking steps for that successful reintegration into work life. Arianna’s Advice For Me? Being 34 weeks pregnant at the time of this recording, I’m obviously Arianna’s ideal customer! I was already a mom before getting pregnant, but we have been far removed from the baby days! My son is in all-day kindergarten, and all of the sudden we’re going to have a newborn! I do want to have a maternity leave from my business, so what advice does Arianna have? Arianna really encourages business owners to use the flexibility we have with our jobs to make gentle transitions. In an office setting, a mom might work full-time right up until the day she has her baby, take 6 weeks of zero work, then plunge right back into working 40 hours a week. Arianna really encourages being aware of timing and thinks a more gradual transition is optimal. A better option is to make a hard and fast deadline, such as 37 weeks when a mom is full-term, to hand-off everything that would normally be on your plate. Yes, 100%! Don’t put off this handing-over until 40 or even 42 weeks. Try to honor the earliest deadline possible to give yourself space. The other half is to think of the transition time back. Even if you’ve had a newborn before, babies can have different temperaments. And juggling more than one kid can be a whole new challenge. Arianna suggests that her clients utilize a 2-3 week period of time when you’re getting back into work. Dedicate those weeks solely to finding your new groove and workflow. Don’t dive 100% back into a major project! Give yourself time to figure out childcare logistics, or how to get your older child settled, and figure out when your new one will be napping and eating. Setting up your new routine is a total learning opportunity and a great experiment. (And I have to say, I totally think Arianna makes a great point! I like the mentality of "let’s just give things a few weeks and see how it goes." Don’t set yourself up on a strict schedule and a new plan before you get your bearings.) How Long Do Moms Take Off From Work? So, in preparing for Baby Boy Schwamberger to arrive, I’ve planned to take 2-3 months totally off from work. But I’ve heard from so many of my mom entrepreneur friends that my plan sounds great, but I’ll have tons of ideas while I'm feeding the baby in the middle of the night and I won’t want to stay away that long. What patterns has Arianna seen? Are there women who do themselves a disservice trying to sneak work back in soon? Or women who take a long, long time off and find that they’re unfulfilled? “I’ve seen it much easier to plan for longer and come back sooner,” Arianna says. “It’s much better to do that than plan for too little time and realize you want more. The work will be there if you’re ready to come back earlier.” In Arianna’s personal experience, she was the business owner who planned ahead financially, in terms of content creation and marketing, to take 4 months off, with her last month being the testing period of easing back into work. “At 6 weeks I emailed my VA and asked for something to do! I was excited to engage again. Work is a big part of my identity, and leaving that completely behind was challenging.” Arianna describes that she grieved feeling productive when she was doing things like nursing around the clock and has seen this same pattern come from quite a few women. Again, the golden rule is it’s easier to plan for longer, and know you can come back sooner and to remember that “there’s no pressure related to completing or delivering projects right in those fresh few weeks postpartum. You can pick and choose your flexibility.” Real Talk: How Can You Prevent Postpartum Depression? Call it hormones or whatever, but I had to get real and ask Arianna about one of my greatest new mommy fears. So brace yourself for some real talk. One of my biggest fears is suffering from postpartum depression. One thing you might not know about me is that my first child is adopted, so he did not come home until he was 2.5 years old. I haven’t done the birth/baby thing before! And I’m totally freaked out about suffering from postpartum depression. So my big question is this: Are there any tips to prevent postpartum depression? First, let’s clarify terms. Postpartum depression is part of a broader category, Perinatal Mood Disorders, which include depression and anxiety, and these symptoms can come up anytime during pregnancy and postpartum. Arianna says part of the fear factor surrounding PPD is that we see only the worst of cases in the media. We see those postpartum suicides, or the mom who didn’t get help until it was too late. She points out, “You know, the worst case scenarios ARE the worst cases. Postpartum depression is prevalent, but self-awareness and knowing what to look for, and what resources to seek out ahead of time, is a great way to set yourself up for taking care of yourself and being taken care of.” And the good news is there are three, concrete steps you can take right now to setting yourself up to be supported: First, lookup the Maternal Mental Health Professionals in your area you could go to if it turned out that you had a mental health issue. Second, look for distinctions in the provider’s bio that describe them as being trained specifically in the field of maternal mental health. In the mental health field, you’ll want to lookup folks in your area who are specifically trained to support moms. And third, keep the Postpartum Support International warmline somewhere you can access it - and tell your partner where the number is, too. This is a number you can call and talk to a trained volunteer to help you figure out how to access professional and help in your area. (Being a warmline means you might have to leave a message, but you will get a callback soon!) The number is: 1-800-944-4773(4PPD) Arianna made it a point to say that seeking in-person treatment is really the most effective way to handle Perinatal Mood Disorders. Whether in one-on-one counseling, psychotheraphy, or group model sessions. One of the biggest risk factors for PPD is isolation. You can take steps to prevent yourself from being isolated during the postpartum time. Isolation can be especially prevalent for online business owners, because of the nature of virtual work. Especially if you’re aware that you have an element of isolation in your life, seek out activities to do during the postpartum phase that require you to get out of the house. Arianna says go so far as to list out those activities such as a new moms groups or a park to walk in; literally list out places you could go with your new baby to prevent being isolated. Deep breath. Did that advice help calm your fears? I know it did mine. It sounds like being prepared and listing out your plan ahead a time is key. I’m just sitting here, picturing myself with a new baby, knowing I”ll be too exhausted and too stressed to go look up mental health pros online or finding a new support group if I need one. But that’s the kind of thing I can do now for myself, I can make an entire doc of resources today that I may need to use tomorrow. I love those ideas! And, yes, I wrote a note in my Brilliant Life Planner as Arianna was talking to get my "Baby Survival and Support" list ready! Using an Ecomap Another way to categorize all of this helpful information is to use a social work tool called an Ecomap. She made one for her clients, and used one herself when she was planning her own leave! It’s a free resource to visually map out those support networks. And when you have a visual, it’s easier to see the holes, where you’re missing an element. You can download Arianna’s Ecomap that she uses with clients on her site. Consultant Model Shifting gears, I wanted to learn more about Arianna’s business model and how she’s grown it. As a consultant, she works with clients one-on-one to help prepare them for this big life change. I wanted to know, how many clients is she able to handle each month? What’s her client lifecycle like? When do they graduate from her services? Arianna says she has really found a sweet spot when she’s able to develop a longer relationship with her clients. She offers a shorter period of services (1 month of work together in 2 sessions to do maternity leave planning) but has found once you do the planning, additional coaching along the way to implement the plan can provide wonderful hand-holding and guidance. A full client lifecycle - from planning through implementation - for Arianna would be about 6 months long. Pre-baby, Arianna kept 3 client slots open each week, so for 3 days each afternoon she booked out her schedule to work with clients. Since getting back from baby, she’s had to reframe that workflow! Arianna still has 3 afternoons available for work, but only works with 3 clients at any given time. She’s scaled back her services to be able to provide the same quality and level of service without burning out. And I have to say, talking to Arianna she sounds like such a serene and well-balanced person! I feel like she’s doing a great job of having a calm balance in her own life. (But she assured me that she does have her crazy moments!) Graduating Clients How does Arianna know when she’s ready to graduate clients from her services? Does she make an exit plan for her clients? Or does she trust clients to tell her when they’re ready to fly the coop? Arianna knows herself and her business well. She has identified that the 1 year mark is really the longest that she’s able to deliver her strongest services. Her field is a tricky one, because uncertainties of motherhood can be ever-present. For Arianna, a hallmark of having a fantastic client relationship is when the client she’s working with has the skills and tools to step back when the problem arise and can know how to navigate the unknown, deal with uncertainties, and pivot to make new strategies for moving forward. (These soft skills apply in motherhood and business, don’t they!) When she feels the client is confident to move forward and apply the tools individually without direct guidance and support, she knows they’re ready to graduate. Sometimes Arianna recommends that her moms join a business coaching model support group for ongoing help. I thought it was a very interesting point that Arianna doesn’t tell her clients, “Alright, from now on life is going to be perfect! You’ve got a bulletproof plan. You’ll never need help again!” Rather, she tells people, “You know how to handle the fact that life as a mom is always a bit crazy.” That’s certainly the right expectation for new moms, isn’t it? Arianna says one of the favorite things about her job is reframing perspectives. She comes from a strengths-based perspective, which means there can be a lot going wrong but she always likes to ask, “What’s one thing that’s going right today?” Doesn’t that change up things? Arianna’s Adorable Mom Moment Her family is getting ready to move houses in about two weeks of the time of this recording and her 11-month-old son has developed a new love of packing materials and suitcases. She said while she and her husband were packing, they lost track of their little boy - who suddenly wasn’t crawling around anymore. They had a parent-panic moment of trying to find the baby, only to realize that he had completely shut himself up in a suitcase! Sounds like this little guy is ready to move! Keep In Touch with Arianna Site: AriannaTaboada.com Arianna was kind enough to tease an amazing new project she’s got in the works: 100 Businesses Babyproofed Project. She has a goal, between now and her birthday, to have conversations with 100 entrepreneurs who are expecting or plan to get pregnant in the next year about what it means to take maternity leave and keep themselves and their businesses thriving. We love that goal! Good luck!

Bio You might be surprised to learn that my entrance into maternity leave planning and coaching did NOT begin with my own arrival at motherhood. I had a decade of experience as a maternal health professional, but when I set out to plan my maternity leave as a self-employed consultant, I found…a whole lot of nothing. I found some blog posts of what other women did and what worked for their business. I read about what entrepreneurs in billion dollar companies did for their leave (oh hey Marisa Mayer!) I came across dozens of generic “guides” that included sage wisdom like “plan ahead” without delving into much more.

A few months before I had Anderson I invited my biz friend Arianna Taboada onto the show to talk about what it looks like when you plan and then actually step away from your business pre & post baby. This episode was so much because I was a pregnant mama & Arianna was a new mama. Flash forward 6 months and it’s as valuable as it was the day we talked. The truth is — getting pregnant and preparing for a change is scary in any stage of your biz. But that’s where this conversation comes in.
