Motherhood & Career: Navigating Both

​This panel explores the realities of navigating both motherhood and professional life.

​From career progression and workplace expectations to bias, guilt, and the pressure to “do it all,” we’ll unpack what it truly means to grow professionally while raising children. Rather than framing it as a question of balance, we’ll examine the structural, cultural, and personal dimensions that shape the experience of working motherhood today.

​Featuring Giovanna Abramo, founder of Plenna, and Patricia Desentis, president of Mujeres Invirtiendo, moderated by Iratxe Cadenato from Amela.

​Together, we’ll explore:

​✨ The structural challenges mothers face in the workplace
⚖️ The real trade-offs behind career decisions and caregiving
🏢 How companies and ecosystems can better support working women
💬 How women are redefining success on their own terms

​Because when we name the invisible load, we don’t just make it lighter, we make change possible.
