1:1 Maternity leave coaching

Personalized support for planning your maternity leave, returning to work, and rebuilding your professional identity after baby.

Motherhood changes the way you work, think, and lead — but the workplace hasn’t caught up. Whether you’re pregnant and want to prepare your leave, currently navigating maternity leave, or already back and feeling overwhelmed, this coaching gives you customized, hands-on guidance through every step of the reentry journey. We’ll build a clear plan using the Reentry Blueprint System™ so you know exactly what to say, what to expect, and how to advocate for what you need — without the guilt, confusion, or guesswork.

This is the support the system should have given you — one-on-one, tailored to your role, your boundaries, your family, and your goals. It’s practical strategy, emotional grounding, and real-life problem-solving from someone who’s lived this transition twice

Testimonials

  • It's so hard going through postpartum, but then when I got back to work I didn't have any other new moms at my company, and it wasn't a very supportive environment. Thank you so much Alexa for being my cheerleader and giving me my power back so I can stand up for myself, get clear on my boundaries and workload capacity and take charge of my own experience. Highly recommend!

  • Honestly I don't know how I would have survived returning to work without Alexa. The coaching program has been a lifeline. I was struggling so hard when I first went back to work, but she literally gave me the tools and scrips I needed. It wasn't fluff, it was so helpful!

  • I think the best thing about your coaching has been the practical tools. There's actual homework and stuff to review each week that I can use with my manager and team.

  • I was really ambitious before becoming a mom, and I didn't even know that things would change after becoming a mom. When I got back from maternity leave, I kept getting passed over for projects and I got sideeyed every time I had to take a break to pump. But this coaching program really helped give me the language to advocate for myself so I could get my career back on track and push back against anyone judging me. I honestly wish every mom could have someone like Alexa in their back pocket if they are an ambitious mom
