In today's episode, we welcome Brooke Shapiro, the owner of Sprinkles Parents. Brooke shares her personal journey as a mom and her experience working in the parenting space, and the challenges she faced in the workplace, including being laid off twice after returning from maternity leave. This led her to start Sprinkles Parents, a community and resource hub for parents where she provides various resources and support for parents, including online courses, playgroups, and a network of trusted service providers.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- The challenges faced by working moms, including discrimination and lack of support in the workplace
- The importance of creating resources and support systems for parents
- The value of moms supporting each other and sharing resources
- The need for flexible and understanding workplaces for parents There is a growing recognition of the need to provide better support and understanding for parents, particularly mothers, who often bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities.
