On this week’s episode of the podcast, I chat with Orli Cotel from Moms First about the urgent need for systemic changes to support working moms.  

We dive into the shocking fact that one in four women return to work just two weeks after giving birth due to the lack of paid family leave, and we cover the importance of advocating for better workplace policies, cultural shifts, and legislative changes.  

Orli shares personal stories and practical steps for driving change, making this episode a must-listen for anyone passionate about supporting working moms.  

Topics in this episode:

  • Lack of paid family leave in the U.S. 

  • High return-to-work rates for new moms after childbirth. 

  • Need for better workplace policies and childcare benefits. 

  • Cultural shifts to support working parents.
