Thriving as a STEM mom of two kiddos

“Without a comprehensive program like the MoMBA, I would have been left to figure out critical areas of my work and family life alone, wasting time and energy. As a mom, it’s already hard enough!”

“Being part of the community has been amazing. I’m taking step after step for my health, my career, and my family. My decisions carry so much purpose. There were things I was too scared to tackle before. Now I’m like, “Yes, I can do it. How can I make it happen?”

In this episode, senior substation engineer and mother of two Amanda Robertson joins founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska to talk about how the MoMBA community has helped her shift to an abundance mindset, find clarity on her vision, and make her return to work an opportunity to step into leadership with power and confidence.

Tune in to this episode for insights on how to preserve your personal brand throughout all stages of motherhood by making intentional decisions through both your home and family life.

Since joining Canada’s only personal and professional development program for career-minded mothers invested in their work-life success, Amanda Robertson has experienced incredible breakthroughs that have renewed her commitment to her growth journey for a second consecutive year.
