Pregnancy in the Workplace with Stephanie Kramer '04 and Kristen Bryant Smith '12

Navigating pregnancy while maintaining a career can be challenging. Expectant parents face unique obstacles, from managing workloads to ensuring a supportive work environment. As a human resource professional, Stephanie Kramer saw team members struggle to figure out how to balance their desire to excel in their careers while also growing a family. She drew on hundreds of conversations with working mothers, as well as her own experiences to write a book called “Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work.” Kristen, an accomplished marketing and branding professional, has recently had her second child, so it seemed like a good idea to bring these two Wake Women together for a  deep discussion on pregnancy at work, to explore the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for working mothers. If you know someone who is juggling career and pregnancy, this episode is for you. ResourcesCarry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXYZ1234 LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/stephaniekramerLinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/kristenbryantsmith
