Like a Mother: How work is being revolutionized

Where are all the women in our profession? So many fade away due to lack of support and family responsibilities- but not the women in the Mothers in Architecture group. Meet the three founders who took a stand to keep moms in architecture and started a movement where women model for one another how to have a career on your own terms.

1. Women's careers face unique challenges. By being part of a support group, you have a safe space to be vulnerable and reconcile being a professional with being a mother.
2. Raise the bar on what expectations should be instead of trying to cope with the status quo. You deserve to be supported in the career you want to have.
3. Mothers are often workplace trailblazers. The issues they fought for around flex time and working from home have now become workplace standards that benefit everyone, so never feel like because something isn't the norm today that it's not worth fighting for.
4. We all need to stop romanticizing overwork. Learn to set boundaries and surround yourself with people who keep you grounded in why you need to maintain them (your well-being).
5. Careers can follow many different paths. Your goals should align with what you want- not someone else's structure.
