The Exton, Chester County Gathering
Roundtable: Rebuilding Workplace Culture for Mothers
Motherhood changes everything, so why should workplace culture stay the same old thing? Join Mothered Media for an hour of real talk, big ideas, and maybe a little venting (the good kind) about what it actually takes to build workplaces where mothers don't just survive, but thrive. We're talking flexibility, respect, policies that make sense, and cultures that stop treating motherhood like a productivity problem to solve. Whether you're a mom, manage moms, or just want workplaces to be better for everyone, this is your invite to the conversation.
Panelists: Jessica Grant, Blu Ivy Group; Alyssa Birnbaum, Teal Elephant; Susanna Hunter, Salesforce; Rashi Kumra, Salesforce, Ahmi.

Roundtable: Maternal Mental Health, Naming What’s Hard
Motherhood can bring joy, love, and wonder, but it can also bring fear, rage, grief, numbness, and questions that feel hard to say out loud. Maternal Mental Health: Naming What’s Hard is an honest conversation about the emotional realities that can show up during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Expect a warm, open space where difficult feelings are welcomed instead of brushed aside. We’ll make room for the messy parts, the tender parts, and the things many people think they have to hide. If you’ve been craving language for what you’re carrying, or simply want to hear others speak the truth with care and courage, join us for a thoughtful hour of connection and reflection.
Panelists: Emily Guarnotta, Phoenix Health; Rachael Bardnell, The Whole Parent Collective; Jenni Armbrecht, Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Roundtable: The Mental Load at Home, Logistics, Systems and Shared Responsibility
The Mental Load at Home is a conversation about the invisible logistics that keep family life moving, and why so much of that work still ends up on one person’s plate. We’re digging into childcare coordination, household systems, summer planning, daily decision-making, and the constant behind-the-scenes tracking that rarely gets counted as work. We’ll talk about where the load builds up, how couples and co-parents can create better systems, and what it takes to move from one person managing everything to a home that runs with more clarity, fairness, and less resentment.
Panelists: Kathryn Hatcher, Camply; Ashley Chang Dawson, Sundays; Kelly Hubbell, Sage Haus; Stephanie Fornaro, Hello Nanny.

Village Session: The Rebrand, Bet On Yourself
The closing session of the national week: you meet each other not by job title but by your rebrand, the pivot you want to make, the goal you are chasing. Everyone answers one last question out loud, what are you betting on yourself for this year. Then our conversation continues online, hosted by Nicole Alos.
Hosted by Cat Canada, founder of Re:Brand.
