The average working mother in America is unsupported and overwhelmed.

It is a tragedy that starts in the workplace and extends all the way up to government policies and agendas.

Women change profoundly after each birth and baby. To see this process and transformation as a simple inconvenience continues to be a dire mistake.

Our strengths and experiences as mothers amplify our potential as employees and professionals.

Melissa Wirt is the founder and CEO of Latched Mama, a  breastfeeding and postpartum apparel company whose parent-friendly policies are setting a new standard for flexible work.

In our conversation, she doesn’t hold back on the ways our country is failing mothers at the societal and workplace levels. Listen in for the raw truth on going back to work after a baby.
