Leverage your technical, leadership, and mom skills to reach soaring success without sacrifice - so you can live a happy and balanced life.
Women are growing and changing the face of engineering & science. When we also choose to become parents, we are basically tenacious, authentic, occasionally slightly nerdy rockstars!

We face a unique combination of challenges -- chaotic hybrid schedules, unconscious (and sometimes conscious) bias, misguided perceptions, mom-guilt...
But good news, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
You've found the ultimate playbook for caregivers who want to thrive in STEM. It is part workbook, part celebration of working parents who choose incredible technical careers, part rallying cry for allies and advocates to join us to promote diversity in science and engineering!
