  • Half feel completely overwhelmed daily
  • In August 2024, the US Surgeon General sounded the alarm on parent mental health.

Traditional Work-Life Strategies Aren't Enough

Flexible hours and wellness benefits are essential. But something's still missing.

Your team doesn't need more rules. They need permission to question the existing ones.

It's time for a new approach

This isn't about parenting tips or productivity hacks. It’s about:
  • Exposing the rules we follow without question
  • Challenging the working parent ideal that's burning everyone out
  • Building a culture where being a parent and professional isn't a daily battle
  • Creating space for people to define success on their own terms

Everything shifts when
your team learns to ask:

"Did I agree to this rule?"
