Prepared Parenting: Power Up Your Parental Leave
2026-04-13 19:30 - 20:30
Parental leave is not vacation! Nor is it time for a career pause. With the right tools, parental leave can be an opportunity for personal and professional growth.

In this workshop we’ll talk about ways to leverage parental leave, starting with the Parento Pathways – a comprehensive tool designed to help you be prepared at work and home. Chock full of information, templates, and checklists, let Pathways be your guide from announcing your leave all the way through your return to work.

This workshop is designed for expectant parents.

Rooted in Uncertain Times
2026-02-20 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-02-13 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-02-06 12:00 - 13:00
It’s hard to ignore the weight of the world right now.
From global conflict and political division to economic uncertainty and the nonstop news cycle, many of us are feeling the constant heaviness. Add in the responsibility of helping children make sense of what they hear and feel, and it can start to feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.
This January pod is designed for parents who want to feel more grounded, empowered, and less alone in the face of uncertainty.
Together, we’ll focus on:

Managing anxiety and uncertainty without shutting down or spiraling
Identifying what you can and cannot control, and learning how to let go of the rest
Supporting your children as they process big emotions, scary headlines, and confusing information
Building emotional resilience for yourself and your family
Finding strength, perspective, and relief through shared experience and connection

This is not about ignoring reality or forcing positivity. It’s about learning how to stay rooted, present, and intentional even when the world feels unsettled.
The pod format offers something especially powerful right now: a small, supportive group of parents who are navigating similar fears and questions. You’ll leave feeling more equipped, more grounded, and reminded that you are not carrying this alone.
