    123. How to Master Your Maternity Leave with Alyson Caffrey

    In this episode we talk with Alyson Caffrey about how we can take control of our maternity leave and be more intentional about the time we take off from work. We specifically cover how she helps small business owners along this journey so that they can leave their company for a short period of time without having to shut down anything or feel guilty for leaving in the process. If you are not a business owner this is still a really great episode because you can apply what we talk about here to help structure how your maternity leave may look. from work or even how you will transition at home with a new baby if you’re a stay at home mom or have a side gig you’re working on.
