Setting Moms Up for Success: Maternity Leave Insights for Leaders & Teams - with Jennifer Atzenhoffer

In this episode, Leanna speaks with Jennifer Atzenhoffer about her experiences navigating three very different maternity leaves. Jen reflects on the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned with each leave, from postpartum depression during her first, a career promotion to a management position during her second, and increased intentionality and family focus during her third. She shares the importance of creating transition plans at work, prioritizing mental and physical health, and simplifying life. Jen and Leanna discuss how leaders can support their managers and teams, including the importance of clear communication, consistent processes & re-onboarding support, and encouraging leaders to model taking the full leave available to them so their employees feel permission to do the same.
