Getting ready for parental leave can feel overwhelming – and a little support can go a long way.

We’ll help to make your leave and return smooth and successful.

Parental Leave Program (6-sessions)

Each participant works with a Josie coach for six personalized sessions – one before leave to plan and communicate effectively, and five after returning to support reintegration, confidence, and well-being. Sessions cover topics such as boundary-setting, workload management, and career growth.

Flexpertise Tip Sheet (Freebie!)

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike boxy tshirts, there’s no one size fits all solution for everyone. Here are a few reasons that parents seek us out… 

  • You’re looking for a sounding board for uncomfortable conversations with your boss or partner;
  • You’re working through the mental and emotional challenges of leaving your baby; 
  • You’d appreciate some guidance crafting a realistic plan to manage the mental load after parental leave;
  • You’d benefit from some dedicated time to identify values, priorities, and your own version of “balance”; 
  • You need a safe space to release all the feels with someone who just gets it.

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.

At Josie, we support all the major transitions that come with working parenthood – from family planning through empty nesting. We’re here to support you through them all.

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].
