Working Moms: Is Family the Real Glass Ceiling?
A discussion with Meagan Davies, MS, NCC, and CRO of HelloHealth, on strategies to prevent burnout and talent drain.
In this episode of “HelloHealth Today,” Dr. Carmen Mohan and Meagan Davies sit down to consider the roles of working moms and caregivers and the everyday challenges and struggles they face with balancing career, home, and family. They begin by reviewing the latest McKinsey Report on women in the workforce, along with another study specifically focusing on working moms. Meagan also shares her unique experience of working with career-driven moms and spotlights the different techniques and advice she uses in order to prevent burnout.
Since the global pandemic began, Dr. Mohan and Meagan have seen the demands placed on working moms grow – along with the stress and burnout that comes along with these added responsibilities. Listen to learn about their different experiences with these working moms and how the HelloHealth system can assist these driven women to develop strategies, tips, and tools in order to tackle these day-to-day challenges. They also reveal how common these various challenges are. Explore the strength that comes from asking for help and how that resulting vulnerability can lead to the growth of relationships.
This problem will not be corrected overnight. The current culture does not always support working moms. But with the right tools and help, working moms can learn how to thrive while balancing career, family, and personal time. The HelloHealth system is designed to do just that, so those driven women can reach their full potential.

Create that partner in your backstage area that can help you troubleshoot.
Ask for help and be specific when doing that.
Have family meetings and include the entire family.
