Most people think parental leave is an HR issue. It's not. It's a story about identity, money, power, and the relationships that hold everything together—and we've been telling it wrong for way too long. Parental Leave, Reframed is a podcast hosted by Dr. Amy Beacom, the person who founded the field of parental leave coaching and consulting. Season one does something simple and long overdue: it asks working parents to tell their parental leave story the way people tell birth stories. Completely honestly, personally, with all the mess and meaning intact. The career disruption. The relationship strain (at work and home and within). The return to work that felt nothing like going back. The things nobody warned them about and nobody at work knew how to handle. For working parents, managers, HR, benefits leaders, and partners navigating the invisible weight of what this transition actually asks of people, this show was made for you. This is where the conversation starts. Season one is real stories from real people. We have a lot more planned, so stick around — it won't stay here. Hosted by Dr. Amy Beacom, founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership® – the only full-service consultancy devoted exclusively to parental leave policy, programming, and practice – and RETAIN Coaching™.
