195: Empowering Working Parents

After returning to a full-time law practice from maternity leave, Lori Mihalich-Levin discovered that she did not have the resources she needed to manage her life in the ways she wanted. Once her second child was born, her stress multiplied. Lori decided to do something about it and help other parents who had many of the same issues. She created Mindful Return to help parents transition back to work after parental leave. Mindful Return offers a multitude of resources for new working parents, including e-courses, programs that employers can offer to their employees, and chapters based in the US, UK, India, and South Africa.?

In her prior role at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), she founded the Returning to Work Community (RWC) for mothers returning to work from maternity leave and a D.C. Health Policy Lean in Circle. At Princeton, Lori wrote her undergraduate thesis on immigrant women in France who experienced domestic violence. At Georgetown Law, she was co-President of the Women’s Legal Alliance and represented clients through the Domestic Violence Clinic.

She is the author of Back to Work After Baby How to Plan and Navigate a Mindful Return from Maternity Leave, and co-host of the Parents at Work podcast.?
