Mind, body and soul, Moms are superheroes.
Momboarding began with the personal experience of going back to work 10 weeks after giving birth. Like somehow that’s enough time for anything so momentus.
This isn’t something new - new moms everywhere across the country are struggling to understand how to integrate the part of them that’s familiar (trained professional, accomplished, working toward career goals) with something new: all of the sudden in charge of keeping a new human alive.
Doing a little bit of prep work ahead of taking time off to give birth makes the re-integration process more manageable. More than that, Momboarding equips moms with tools for re-entry, catch-up conversations, setting expectations, and making sense of a brand new identity: working mom, superhero.
Hi, I’m Erin.
Erin Maloney
Founder, CEO
I started my career teaching, worked in an education nonprofit, dabbled in digital marketing and landed in corporate learning & development in 2021.
I’ve led onboarding for a tech startup in a massive growth phase, created leadership training for emerging, new, and seasoned managers, and worked cross-functionally to create and facilitate company-wide dialogue around career growth, setting professional goals, and meaningfully contributing to a shared vision.
All of that really mattered to me, and it still does—but now there’s something bigger that defines me and what I have to share with the world.
I’m now a mom to two (didn’t think that would happen) and so many other things are important that I also didn’t think about before: how I communicate my needs as a mom to others, the alignment of my priorities, like a flexible schedule, with where I work, and somehow maintaining a new compartment in my brain that’s devoted to planning meals, making sure we buy diapers, and childcare logistics.
As isolating as it can feel, I know for a fact that there are so. many. moms, doing just the same.
