Listen Later

In this episode of Mom to MORE™, host Sharon Macey is joined by Dr. Hilary Berger, former SAHM and Founder of Work Like a Mother®.

Dr. Hilary S. Berger is deeply passionate about helping women thrive, offering a unique career counseling perspective tailored to the realities of a mother’s life. 

She is the founder of Work Like A Mother® and the creator of an award-winning career counseling method integrating careers, motherhood and mental health. She is a practicing psychotherapist, a holistic career therapist and a licensed professional counselor.

For over 25 years she has passionately counseled mothers to heal from their loss of self, rebuild their professional purpose, relevance, career competencies, and most importantly, their confidence throughout their parenting years and after children have left the nest.  She has successfully served over 3000 women and is unapologetically dedicated to shaping a  new narrative for young women to adopt a professional and lifestyle roadmap for their future where motherhood is acknowledged as a legitimate aspect of their career journey.

Hilary is a mother to four children who understands firsthand the daily challenge to parent as your heart and soul dictate, while also striving as a SAHM to access the courage and confidence needed to fulfill your own goals and dreams outside of parenting.

Join Sharon and Dr. Hilary Berger as they discuss the “problem with no name,” work-life balance strategies and reclaiming professional identities as mothers. Dr. Hilary's message underscores the need for women and girls to have flexible career options that allow them to maintain their professional relevance while navigating the responsibilities of motherhood. By promoting the idea of integrating motherhood into the career journey and advocating for choices that support both roles, Dr. Hilary advocates for a paradigm shift that empowers women to lead fulfilling lives as mothers and professionals simultaneously.
