Life as a Working Mom: Navigating career and caregiving
Being a working mom is a journey full of trade-offs, triumphs, and tough choices — especially when you're balancing ambition with cultural expectations, caregiving duties, and the desire to be there for both your family and your career.
Join us for a candid and empowering panel featuring four incredible Asian women leaders who are navigating motherhood and leadership on their own terms. From corporate boardrooms to startup teams, from toddler tantrums to tight deadlines — they’ve seen it all, and they’re here to share their lessons.
What we'll cover :
How to redefine success as a working mom
Navigating guilt, burnout, and asking for help
Career pivots and pauses: when motherhood changes your path
Setting boundaries and staying visible at work
Cultural expectations and the “model minority mom” myth
Whether you’re a new parent, thinking about parenthood, or supporting working moms on your team, this conversation will offer practical tools, real talk, and relatable stories from those walking the path.
