How to Embrace Motherhood Without Compromising Your Career.

Step-by-step strategies and tangible scripts that have helped women nationwide care for their children, honor their health needs, and embrace their motherhood journeys, all without jeopardizing their ambitions!

During attorney Daphne Delvaux's first pregnancy, she learned first-hand how the system was set up to make it as difficult as possible for women to juggle a challenging career along with all the responsibilities of being a new mother.

Motherhood can feel like a tug-of-war with work. You're constantly deciding when to hold your ground and when to surrender. Finding the right words to discuss motherhood professionally shouldn't require a legal degree. But too often, it feels like it does.

Inside Moms in Labor, Daphne shares the blueprint and word-for-word scripts she's used to help you:

• Extend your leave and secure accommodations like telework or flexibility, without losing your job or benefits
• Communicate confidently with your employer and HR in a way that gets results
• Advocate with clarity, not conflict, protecting your baby and your career
• Leverage tools forged from years on the frontlines of maternal rights law

This is the handbook HR won't give you, but the one every expecting or new mother deserves.

Here is your invitation to channel that creative motherforce, to advocate for yourself with the same devotion you give your child.

Give your child the gift of a healthy and present mother. You'll never regret advocating for your baby.

Because your baby doesn't need a perfectly composed woman who quietly adjusts. Your baby needs a good lawyer.
