Show Summary:
Kimberly Didrikson says that she was on a career track she loved, and then once her son was born she didn’t know who she was or where she was going anymore. Sound familiar? We definitely resonated with that phenomenon. This episode is all about supporting mothers as they navigate their new reality as moms &… (see what we did there?).

More About Kimberly:
Kimberly spent 15 years growing her career at a Fortune 100 company. She held roles in business development, account management, and was part of building a new sales division in managed teams with portfolios of over $20 million in yearly sales.
Her career was essentially her baby, and then she had a real baby, an event that absolutely turned her world upside down. After becoming a parent, she discovered a deep passion for supporting working mothers through this transition into motherhood, while also helping organizations retain mothers as they enter into a new season of life with the growth of their families.
