Maternity Leave & Career Pauses — Planning with Confidence

Taking maternity leave and/or pausing your career is one of the biggest transitions in parenthood — and it comes with both emotional and financial considerations. This webinar will guide you through what to expect, how to prepare, and ways to protect your family’s financial well-being while prioritizing your own recovery and bonding time.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How to navigate paid and unpaid leave options

• Conversations to have with your partner and employer

• Reframing career pauses as intentional choices, not setbacks

• Budgeting for a career pause without derailing long-term goals

  
  

Leave with practical tools and a renewed sense of clarity, so you can step into this season with less stress and more confidence.
