Imagine working for an employer where instead of being anxious about telling your boss you’re pregnant, you feel empowered and prepared.
Imagine embarking on the life-changing experience of becoming a mother knowing your workplace is going to have a plan to support you.
Imagine navigating the balance of career and family with the confidence you are going to thrive.
Does it sound like a dream? It doesn’t have to be.
At Learning Motherhood we provide research-backed training to enable parents and employers to create return-to-work plans uniquely customized for individual families and workplaces.
Meet your guide…
Kimberly Didrikson
I’m Kimberly Didrikson, a mom of three and the founder of Learning Motherhood. I had spent 15 years growing my career at a Fortune 100 company and managed teams with portfolios of over $20 million in yearly sales… yet nothing prepared me for growing and birthing a child and returning to work.
I imagined I’d take a short parental leave then get back to my job, adding the title of “Mom” to my resume. Instead I experienced a loss of identity, postpartum depression, a drastic shift in my priorities and a tremendous lack of support. If only there’d been a resource to help me (and my employer!) navigate motherhood and a career in the same way mothers’ groups helped me navigate sleep regressions and feeding schedules.
That’s what I want for you and that’s why I created Learning Motherhood—an educational community for soon-to-be-moms, working moms and their employers to confidently navigate the transition into motherhood and back to work.
I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to providing you with the support you deserve.
“Learning Motherhood’s Return to Work Series was the best thing I have done to invest in myself to support my transition back to work.”
