Owning Your Motherhood Advantage - Author Chat & Interactive Brunch w/ Dr. Anne Welsh, author of Ambitious Mother
Join us for an uplifting and transformative morning dedicated to helping you recognize, honor, and own your motherhood advantage. We are moving past the narrative of just "surviving the juggle" or compromising on your dreams. Instead, we’re stepping into a space that celebrates your drive, reframes your skills, and empowers you to let your professional ambition and motherhood fuel one another.
This isn't just a brunch—it's a space to refuel your mind, body, and spirit alongside a community that truly gets it.
What to Expect:
🥑Fuel – A delightful brunch and coffee curated by Mom-founder favorite, Avotoasty.
💡Inspiration – An intimate, honest conversation with Dr. Anne Welsh. The book speaks honestly about the pressure women feel to excel everywhere at once, while also offering a more expansive and hopeful framework for ambition, identity, and success.
💕Connection – An interactive workshop segment designed to spark meaningful conversation. You’ll connect deeply with a powerful network of fellow mothers, founders, and professionals, leaving with a renewed sense of community and sisterhood.
