A male colleague once asked Leslie, why are moms always so stressed? Leslie grabbed a sheet of paper and scribbled down her first draft of her Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs. Leslie responded- moms are stressed because they prioritize everyone else’s needs before themselves. Self care happens only once everyone else’s needs are met. Leslie quit her job to focus full time on helping moms prioritize their own self care. Leslie has talked to countless moms through her research and study and has transformed Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs into a new business helping employers retain working parents and create inclusive workplaces where caregivers can thrive.
