The Mom Project

One of the biggest misconceptions about flexibility is that it lowers expectations. In reality, many of the highest-performing professionals are balancing complex responsibilities every single day — leading teams, driving results, managing households, caregiving, problem-solving, and adapting constantly. As Tricia House shared during yesterday’s conversation at the Career Care Connection Summit, the strongest organizations are moving beyond outdated ideas of what work “should” look like and focusing instead on outcomes, accountability, and impact. At The Mom Project, we work with companies to build workforce strategies that recognize and support high-performing talent while also helping moms, parents, and caregivers find opportunities where they can thrive professionally without being forced to choose between career and care. Because flexibility isn’t about lowering standards. It’s about creating better systems for how work gets done. And if you missed the live event, you can still register to access the replays. There were so many valuable conversations and practical takeaways around careers, leadership, flexibility, and navigating today’s workforce — definitely worth tuning into.

Some industries weren’t built with flexibility in mind. Manufacturing is one of them. Rigid schedules. Limited leave. Expectations that don’t always account for real life. And for a long time, that’s just been the norm. But it doesn’t have to be. Companies like rf IDEAS, Inc are proving that even in traditionally inflexible environments, there’s a better way to build teams. One that prioritizes flexibility, employee growth, and long-term support. From flexible work arrangements and expanded mental health support to mentorship programs and career development frameworks, they’re creating an environment where people are supported both personally and professionally. And the impact is real. After implementing parental leave benefits, they saw a 100% return-to-work rate. Because real momentum is created when people feel supported, valued, and set up to grow. #MakersOfMomentum

To the moms answering emails in pickup lines, leading meetings after sleepless nights, rebuilding careers after caregiving gaps, and still showing up with brilliance — we celebrate you! Your ambition and your caregiving were never meant to compete. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at The Mom Project!

Thinking about going back to work after time away? You’re not alone ❤️ We’re helping moms re-enter the workforce through returnship opportunities — roles designed specifically for women who have taken a career break. These aren’t just jobs — they’re pathways back. 💡 Some roles include: ✔️ Training and skill refreshers ✔️ Mentorship and support ✔️ Flexible, real-world experience Right now, we have opportunities in tech like Software Engineering and QA, with more roles opening regularly. If you are based out of Southern California or Madison, Wisconsin and have been waiting for the “right time” — this could be it!

Somewhere along the way, speed became the priority in executive support. What’s called “efficient” often looks more like quick placements, low context, and little investment in long-term fit. Roles get filled. But people burn out. That may be the norm – but it’s not working. Companies like Hey Girl Friday® are challenging that model. They’re choosing intention over volume, and real partnership over transactions. Because Executive Assistants aren’t interchangeable – they’re strategic partners. And when they’re matched thoughtfully, supported properly, and truly valued, everything changes: Stronger relationships. Better outcomes. Work that actually lasts. The impact speaks for itself: many EAs have called their partnership with HGF the best experience of their careers, and over 70% of clients come through referrals. That’s what real momentum looks like: Rethinking the norm. Centering people. Building something better. #MakersOfMomentum

Not all impact shows up on a resume. It shows up in how someone steps in when things get unclear. How they navigate complexity. How they keep things moving—consistently. That’s the difference. That’s why you hire a mom. A Maker of Momentum. #MakersOfMomentum #HireAMom

“Mom” was never a single definition. It’s a collection of skills. Capabilities. Instincts built over time. The kind that doesn’t just support progress—they create it. #MakersOfMomentum #momsgsd

Mom. noun. A Problem Solver: finds a way forward, no matter what A Conflict Navigator: brings clarity, alignment, and forward motion when things get hard An Anchor: a steady force others rely on to stay grounded and move forward A Builder: creates impact and navigates complexity with focus on what matters most An Orchestrator: manages competing priorities and keeps everything moving forward A Force Multiplier: drives momentum, turns plans into action, and gets sh*t done The one who does it all — and then some. But here at The Mom Project, we believe it means even more. We see MOM as something bigger: Makers of Momentum. We are a community of 2M+ professionals who are inspired by mission, driven by purpose, and fueled by impact. People who bring resilience, in-demand skills, and a bias for execution into everything they do. Professionals who don’t just show up…They move things forward. While we started with moms, we’ve evolved into a powerful community of parents, caregivers, and exceptional professionals, all united by what it means to be a MOM: a Maker of Momentum, bringing the superpowers developed in life to drive extraordinary impact at work. And this is just the beginning. #MakersOfMomentum #MOM #TheMomProject #FutureOfWork #WorkingParents #WorkingMoms
