Thriving Through Transitions: A Practical Guide for Navigating Maternity Leave

Maternity leave should be a supported journey, not an obstacle course - yet many new parents navigate it without a map. In this five-part Trail, Tigerhall’s Pippa Woodhead (recording at 8.5 months pregnant) and maternity expert Mary Beth Ferrante unpack what truly works for women transitioning through parenthood while maintaining career momentum. The series moves chronologically from pre-leave planning to long-term caregiving strategies, featuring honest stories from mothers who've experienced both challenges and triumphs. You'll discover why proper re-onboarding is critical, how to advocate for yourself during key transition points, and practical frameworks for making decisions that honor both your family and professional goals. Whether you're planning for leave, supporting team members, or creating better workplace policies, this Trail delivers actionable strategies for transforming maternity leave from a career interruption into an opportunity for growth.
