"Her work is a movement. It’s transformative.” - Misty Copeland, American ballet dancer
No one told you that becoming a mother would also mean becoming your baby’s lawyer.
This book makes sure you’re a damn good one. Give your child the gift of a mother who knows her rights.
I''m an employment lawyer. I''ve spent 15 years fighting for women who''ve been pushed out, passed over, or punished at work for the audacity of having a baby. I''ve won millions for my clients. And I''ve learned something along the way: most mothers have no idea what they''re legally entitled to. Not moms, not bosses, not HR, and honestly, not most lawyers either.
This book fixes that.
Inside Moms in Labor, you''ll get:
- The actual laws that protect you (not the watered-down version in the handbook)
- Word-for-word scripts for every awkward conversation: announcing your pregnancy, requesting leave, negotiating accommodations, and handling "that boss"
- How to extend your leave, secure telework or flexibility, and keep your job and benefits intact
- The strategies I teach my clients to advocate like a lawyer, without the expense
Plus, the stories I''ve never told publicly, like the time I accidentally soaked a judge''s sandwich in breastmilk during a jury trial. I share lessons from my own career, my trials, my losses, and the hundreds of mothers I''ve represented, so you can learn from what we went through without having to go through it yourself.
When you announce your pregnancy at work, you''re entering a negotiation. Your employer has an HR department, a legal team, and decades of corporate policy designed to protect their interests. Your baby has you. Just you. During the most vulnerable, exhausted, emotional chapter of your life, navigating the most important negotiation you''ve never been trained for.
This book is the training.
Your baby doesn''t need a perfectly composed woman who quietly adjusts. Your baby needs a good lawyer.
