Description
When I transitioned to a part-time role in a large company after the birth of our older son, I was asked over and over by working moms about how I made it happen. I was asked by friends and friends of friends and colleagues in the hallway. After doing some online research, I realized that there were plenty of moms who’d like to work part-time – 47 percent according to Pew Research – but only 25% do. There is a need in the workplace to understand how to stay engaged in your career and be the mom you want to be. And it’s helpful to find resources that guide you through the process of creating more flexibility, including through professional part-time roles.
The award-winning Mompowerment: Insights from Successful Professional Part-time Working Moms Who Balance Career and Family shares my own experience and advice as well as research with insights, stories, and advice from interviews with 110+ professional part-time working moms.

The book is written with the lens of a working mom interesting in a part-time role, but the advice can be used for transitioning to any approach that is not full time, such as remote work, a condensed schedule, or a job share. The tips, tricks, hacks, and mindset shifts can impact anyone interested in more work-life balance, no matter what that looks like.
