Welcome to Josie

Josie is helping us not only support the working parents of our company, but they are collaborating with us to transform our company culture. We are incredibly proud to partner with them and to absorb and implement their deep expertise.

As a working new mom the one thing I felt I didn’t have was time – time for myself, time to reflect, time to just stop. However, having a real dedicated space to examine the ongoing changes in my personal and professional life in this integrative way has been so powerful. At a period in my life when the last thing I was proactively planning for were my own needs, the Josie program provided tools that allowed me to fashion a roadmap for how to move forward, mindfully, as a mother, partner, professional, and individual. It means so much to me that my employer has made this investment in my transition back to work. I feel like they truly care about my professional and personal wellbeing.

The Josie program helped make my transition from working woman, to mom, to working mom as seamless as possible. The support that “my Josie” (as well as the executive and mental health coaches) provided throughout my maternity leave and once I returned to the office was invaluable. I had research-backed resources targeted towards my individual needs readily available to assist with the transition. I also benefited from the comfort of knowing that others had successfully walked the path before me and were there to support me in doing the same.

The Josie program has been a very valuable experience for me. The sessions targeted areas I needed to focus on before returning to work, like managing the stress and resentment I was experiencing during this critical transition. I appreciated the support and encouragement from my Josie and the whole team along each step of the way! As mothers themselves, the team has “been there” and really knows how to help.

-Kate K. Director

Really great connection with [my Josie]. Loved the flexibility to tailor the program based on my situation, sharing similar stories and helping to get focused on what areas I want to work on as part of the program.

-Judy C. Principal

Loved working with [my Josie]. She is resourceful, perceptive, easy to talk to and trustworthy, empathetic, and encouraging. She only added value during this busy stage in my life. For example, she helped me navigate a transition with suggestions and resources to support me and allow me to learn. And she keeps me accountable!

I signed up with Josie because I was so nervous about going back to work after having my baby. I did not feel at all ready to be away from him and couldn’t picture my work days without feeling anxious. The Josie team helped me break down what I wanted and how to get there. Thanks to their help and support, I have a clearer picture of my goals, am doing more self care, and am handling working and being a mom really well, to my pleasant surprise!

I wasn’t sure how much I’d get out of the Josie program as a second-time mom. I’d already gone through the return-to-work experience after my first kid was born and had some idea of what to expect and how to manage. However, the Josie experience proved to be really invaluable. It gave me the opportunity to think more intentionally about self care, time management, relationships, and more. I learned various strategies and techniques that I can see helping me navigate life as a working mom far into the future.

The postpartum period was much harder for me than I imagined, so having someone to talk to about returning to work who really got it was so nice for me. My Josies were supportive and caring but also challenged me to make the best decisions for myself and my family. I’m so glad that I got to be a part of the Josie program!
