Having a baby is a major life transition – and being our best at home and at work will very likely mean asking for support and flexibility. But let’s face it—asking for that flexibility at work can be daunting and downright uncomfortable.

Currently, we are not covered by HSA/FSA funds – however, many employers (including Adobe, the Federal Reserve Bank, The Chan-Zuckerberg initiative) will cover the cost of Josie coaching under wellness and/or professional development stipends. Grab our letter template to request reimbursement from your manager or HR leader.

There are so many paths to parenthood and so many different types of people who identify as parents – ALL are welcome 🫶And, while second (third! fourth! fifth!) time around with a baby absolutely makes you a pro, it also means you bring a fresh perspective and deeper value to the experience. We support parents no matter who or what number kid you’re on.

No problemo! While we hope to catch you during the transition itself, we know that’s not always possible. We’ve worked with parents who are a week out from their return to months after the return, and they have all experienced impactful and lasting results.

Great question because delivering a super meaningful experience is our highest priority. Our Josie mental health coaches are all masters level trained therapists. Our Josie career coaches are all ICF certified. And our Josie transition coaches are all parents who have walked a mile in your shoes. All of our coaches are required to pass our internal certification trainings and role play exams.

Relationship building is our sweet spot. We take great care in pairing our parents and coaches to ensure that you can be authentically you. When you get started, you’ll fill out an onboarding questionnaire that will help us pair you with an amazing coaching team we know you’ll vibe with.

We use video and phone call via our secure app that can be used on a desktop or mobile device or tablet.

Absolutely! We are totally flexible so if you’re on a walk, nursing, holding your little one, cleaning spit-up – we get it and we can make it all work.

Ah yes – sleep deprived purchasing decisions, we know this well.We want your Josie journey to be incredible. If you’re struck with a case of buyer’s remorse, reach out at [email protected] and we’ll chat.

We have more answers! Get in touch with us anytime day or night,  [email protected].
