Like many mothers I know, I started to feel waaaayyyyy too overwhelmed a few months after my daughter was born. After around six months, I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders (Like do you even lift bro?!) I felt completely overworked and stretched way too thin.  And I know other mothers feel this way. Believe me, I asked! We were all experiencing the same thing, and we were all being asked to explain it at work and at home, but we didn't have a name for it. Until now.Meet Lauren Smith Brody, the woman who gave this feeling a name and a plan on how to address it. Lauren is a journalist, editor, entrepreneur, and author of her latest book The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom's Guide to Style, Sanity, and Big Success After Baby. Based on interviews with over 700 moms (!!!), The Fifth Trimester tackles every personal and professional issue you are probably dealing with, and the inspiration you need when and if you do head back to work. Lauren is the founder of The Fifth Trimester movement and consulting, which supports all working parents and caregivers to advance women's leadership and drive economic growth. Yes, of course, I have her on speed dial!Check out this week's episode to hear more about The Fifth Trimester and what we as parents can do to advocate for ourselves at home and in the workplace.

After a successful 16-year career in magazine publishing, Lauren Smith Brody had a new calling, that of supporting working moms and generally working parents as they reconcile their professional and personal selves. Through her incredibly insightful best-selling book, The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom’s Guide to Style, Sanity, and Big Success After Baby, she has launched The Fifth Trimester movement which emphasizes the support and understanding so necessary to ensure all working parents can succeed, both inside and outside the home. Lauren is a compassionate, articulate, funny and engaging champion of calling out the pitfalls of working parenthood, both in how we present ourselves in the workforce (or virtual workforce for some, these days) and how we support ourselves across the demands outside of the office. She brings tons of research, historical insights and pragmatic self-forgiving gems to help us all feel a bit better about our capabilities and a bit more honest about our shortcomings. We discuss “networking” in the age of remote work, the history of FMLA, the importance of involving your partner in the early days of childcare, as well as how to continue to succeed in your career by setting boundaries, managing expectations of yourself and striving for advancement, yes even if working remotely! I loved this conversation so much and hope you do too! You can learn more about her work at www.thefifthtrimester.com, or follow her on Instagram @thefifthtrimester.

#083 — Cultivating Adult Female Friendships If you are working parent, chances are that career and family dominate your time and attention. Yet we all know the immense value of cultivating friendships with other women who share similar circumstances, interests, or values. So, how do you carve out the time to nurture established friendships? Even more challenging, how do you build new female friendships? And how do you handle it when a friendship ends? Today, Cary Fortin is back to help me explore the issue of making new friends as an adult. We discuss the process of putting yourself out there and identifying a good friendship match as well as the logistical challenge of staying in touch with long-distance friends. I explain what it means to ‘aggressively make friends,’ and Cary addresses the value in owning who you are and leading with your values. Listen in for insight on letting people know you’re thinking about them (without an agenda) and learn how Cary and I navigate the emotional landscape when a friendship ends.

Today’s guest, Lauren Smith Brody is the Founder of The Fifth Trimester Movement and author of The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom’s Guide to Style, Sanity, and Big Success After a Baby. She worked in the publicity industry for many years as an Editor for Glamour Magazine. During her first pregnancy, she found there to be a lack of resources for women who are transitioning back into their careers after having children. Determined to make a difference, she began to research ways to help companies better support women during their childbearing years. “The Fifth Trimester” was born - focusing on the transitional and critical stage of going back to work. Culturally, the United States falls short of what she considers to be the gold standard in maternity/paternity leave for a mother's emotional health and a baby’s physical needs. Her foundation works to promote deep cultural shifts in corporations on the financial viability of retaining women in the workplace after childbirth. As a woman who has experienced the transition twice and who consults with tech giants on the subject, she shares her tips for negotiating with employers, making self-care a priority and ways to create a cultural shift around motherhood. Lauren gets vulnerable with us as she shares the struggles and joys of her own journey, what she did different the second time around, and how women don’t have to just accept the “way things are” even when change seems impossible. Expectful is a guided meditation app for each stage of the motherhood journey — you can sign up for an exclusive one-month free trial here!

We jammed on: When is a good time to go back to work Different childcare options What to do when you just want to quit your job after returning to work How to look like you slept 8 hours, when you have been up all night How to make time for date night and how to reconnect with your partner Show notes: http://margaretromero.com/episode67
