"We're not just making career advice & support accessible for working mothers, our purpose is to facilitate the transformation of the modern workplace."
Our Founder
"As a solo Mother in a senior, corporate role, in a new city without family support, I faced burnout. Add on perimenopausal hormonal shifts, brain fog and feelings of mum-guilt, I felt exhausted & depleted. Always a high achiever, it was hard to accept seeing myself barely surviving. I knew I had so many questions & needed support and I was led into mentors and communities of women that just didn't understand my career ambitions. I just couldn't find the support I needed.
Having built global social communities previously on top of my Corporate Career, I've set out to reduce the isolation that exists, and build my vision of empowering professional working women to connect at every life stage – from pre-family through to motherhood and menopause – so that women have support to successfully navigate their careers & lives through key life stages."

Gender Pay Equity & Representation
Only one in tem women believe their workplace is making steps towards greater gender equity. The gap in workplace remuneration in New Zealand is currently 8.6% and higher still for Maori, Pacific and Asian women.
Non-inclusive Workplace behaviour
Over a third of women still experience non-inclusive, inappropriate behaviours or actions. Only one in ten believe they can make a complaint about a non-inclusive behaviour without it affecting their career.
For too long, women's health issues like menopause, menstruation, miscarriage, infertility, pregnancy has been stigmatised. Many women still feel unable to take time off or seek support, leaving them to work through pain and suffer.
The cost of silence
For women caregivers, the emotional toll of carrying the mental load of what's going on for those they care for and in the home as well as the guilt of not being physically present for them, is ever present.
The Emotional toll
Self-sacrifice
