I recently became a mom in the spring of 2023 and the journey from a career-focused individual to an overwhelmed pregnant woman to an exhausted yet financial-leader-of-the-household working mom may have been the most transformative year of my life. The struggle was (is) real. The mental load, the identity shift, and the overwhelming financial and insurance decisions on behalf of my growing family left me seeking a resource I couldn't find.  This is my hope for Moms with Benefits. Because every working mom's journey matters.   With love, Samantha ![Image_20231205_202055_021](https://momswithbenefits.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_20231205_202055_021.jpeg?width=600&height=750&name=Image_20231205_202055_021.jpeg "Image_20231205_202055_021") ### Common challenges we help with: - Clarifying maternity leave benefits for a current or future employer  - Advocating for hybrid, flexible, or altered work schedules due to pregnancy or postpartum - Working with you and/or your organization to offer more generous benefits related to family planning (short term disability, family bonding leave, ERG/DEI workshops, etc.) - Analyzing childcare spend in relation to income to explore a change in work structure (a move to full time or part time paid work vs full caregiving work) - Role-playing negotiation scenarios with managers, HR/business leaders, or clients - Discuss work/life 'balance' approaches in relation to return to work strategy  - Financial and benefit education and best practices to those not yet expecting but plan to be  - Education on the Federal Pregnancy Workers Fairness Act [LEARN MORE](https://momswithbenefits.org/financial-coaching?hsLang=en) ## Our Mom-Powered Team [![Samantha Circle Headshot](https://momswithbenefits.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Samantha%20Circle%20Headshot.png?width=300&height=300&name=Samantha%20Circle%20Headshot.png "Samantha Circle Headshot")](https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthasmith0521/) ### Samantha Saxby, MS, CLMS #### Motherhood Financial Coach, Certified Leave Management Specialist, Podcast Host + Speaker Samantha is a hardworking mom of an 11-month-old boy.
