What the mothers I surveyed reported
Honest data from the mothers I interview, turned into change at work and in policy.
The Sustainability Gap
Live · Burnout
Burnout was nearly universal across 20+ interviews with high-achieving moms. The ones who found their way through all did it the same way: not alone.

I recorded a short audio overview of The Return Gap for the drive to daycare or the quiet after bedtime.
The Return Gap
Live · Return to work
88% of the 100+ mothers surveyed dreaded going back to work. Only 17% were given a plan for it, and 20% left the job they came back to.

Speaking topics
From leaning in to redesigning the table. What changed for ambitious women when motherhood and caregiving arrived, and what companies can redesign.
The Return Gap. What the mothers I surveyed in the US, UK, and South Africa say about returning from leave, and the return-to-work plan most companies are missing.
Caregiving is infrastructure. Leading as a sandwiched caregiver, from a dementia diagnosis to building a village.
AI can buy back time for your life. It won’t fix a broken system. Ethical, practical ways to use AI that free up time for working mothers’ families and health, not more output for their jobs.
