Preparing to March Against Gun Violence – With My Children

by Lori Mihalich-Levin | Jun 11, 2022 | Leadership, Working Dad, Working Mom

Job-Searching While Pregnant: One Mama’s Story

Job-Searching While Pregnant: One Mama’s Story

by Lori Mihalich-Levin | Nov 6, 2021 | Leadership, Working Mom

One of my dreams is that one day, new parents will live in a world where pregnancy doesn’t complicate the job-searching process.  Where having children is seen as a normal part of being a human, rather than as a career obstacle.  And where parenthood is seen as a...
