Parenting Guilt: Managing Career & Business While Parenting

​Join Spondle for an honest, energizing conversation about parenting guilt and the real pressure of trying to hold career, business, and family life together at once. This month, we’re welcoming Alex Egeler, career coach for parents and founder of Empathic Egg, for a conversation shaped by lived experience. After nearly two decades as an aerospace engineer and executive, Alex became a dad and ran into the kind of strain so many working parents know well, feeling behind at work, behind at home, and fully present nowhere. He’s since built a new approach around integrating work and family instead of treating them like separate battles.

​We’ll talk about where parenting guilt comes from, why it often lands hardest on the person carrying the invisible load, and what actually helps in real life. Alex will share practical insight from his own journey and his work supporting parents to find careers that fit their families, not the other way around. There will also be plenty of time for your questions, so come ready to join the conversation. Spondle Circle is where we bring the community together with people worth listening to.
