STEM Moms: Design, Build, and Test to Create the Work-Life of Your Dreams

Use your technical, leadership, and life skills to navigate your dream career. Women are leading innovations in engineering and science. When we also choose to become parents, we become even more dynamic, multi-skilled, tenacious trailblazers! Unfortunately, most mothers in science and engineering are regularly isolated while facing a daunting combination of challenges – unconscious (and conscious) bias, misguided societal expectations, chaotic hybrid schedules, mom-guilt... We can change this. Let's create a space where STEM moms can share their stories, learn from each other, and build each other up. Written by an engineer, senior leader, executive career coach, and mother of two, this is a playbook for caregivers who want to stop surviving and start thriving. STEM Moms provides tools to identify your transferable skills (aka superpowers), define your highly personalized life and career values, and achieve your unique definition of success – while avoiding burnout and imposter syndrome. What you'll learn from STEM Moms? Skills to embrace your magic. How to break the bias. Why you should trust your gut. How to prioritize and set boundaries. The value of owning what "balance" means to you. Tools to celebrate diversity in STEM. This book includes worksheets and activities to personalize your learning. Its career development and coaching strategies are for anyone who wants to find success, no parenthood required! Allyship Matters!
