Despite recent strides in parental leave policies, new moms continue to face workplace discrimination, both during their maternity leave and as they transition back to the office. In this episode, Lori speaks with Allyson Downey, whose new book Here’s the Plan: Your Practical Tactical Guide to Advancing Your Career During Pregnancy and Parenthood acts as a blueprint for women looking to succeed in the workplace while raising kids. Allyson is also the founder of weeSpring, a startup that helps new and expecting parents collect advice from their friends about what they need for their baby.
