Finding Yourself Again After Motherhood with Amy Reinert

Amy Reinert’s career in tech marketing was on a clear trajectory – until motherhood, layoffs, and the realities of raising a family reshaped the path entirely.After being laid off while pregnant and navigating the realities of childcare, commuting, and workplace culture, Amy stepped away from the fast track she had been on - a quiet trade-off many mothers make to keep life working for everyone else.
