Snippet of conversation from Gild Collective on the Modern Mom Probs podcast.
Episode Overview
What happens when two powerful advocates for gender equality join forces? Can they change the narrative surrounding working mothers? Tune into this riveting conversation with Tara Clark, the host of the Modern Mom Probs podcast. We share our journeys, the inception of Gild Collective, and our relentless pursuit to elevate empathy and understanding in workplaces, particularly for working mothers.
With Tara, we navigate the complex terrain of maternal bias and the 'daddy bonus' phenomenon. We shed light on the often unseen tasks that disproportionately burden women, the criticality of setting boundaries, and the role managers play as allies for working mothers. We challenge these stereotypes and provide actionable insights on how to combat them.
In the final portion of the conversation, we delve into the silent epidemic of invisible labor and its unequal distribution. We offer guidance on how mothers can assertively demand their fair share and the importance of tracking and evaluating our contributions at work. They also explore the three steps of allyship and the significance of managers in preventing burnout. If you're a working parent or an organization looking to foster an inclusive environment, this episode is a must-listen!

RESOURCES
The Gender Inequity Simulator from Gild Collective puts participants in the shoes of a unique persona to better understand the varied experiences of diverse individuals in the workplace.
During the interactive program, participants will experience varied workplace scenarios: getting feedback from their manager, receiving or witnessing microaggressions, client meetings and performance reviews. In debriefing on the simulator, participants tie their experiences to broader workplace data and types of bias, creating a foundational understanding of unconscious bias and its impact.
