Parentaly Podcast:
The False Tradeoff

In this episode, we speak with Emily Calandrelli about how her advocacy for extending paid parental leave in the aerospace industry resulted in 12 major players changing their policies with the help of Parentaly’s template to make the business case for increased paid parental leave. We also talk about her experience with motherhood as a digital creator, which aspects about this career path she loves the most and what she has in store in 2024.

In this episode, Allison and Parentaly Coach Danielle Pickens address the "to work or not to work during parental leave" conundrum. They cover the differences between working and staying in touch with work, sharing examples of when it's actually beneficial to the employee to connect with work without doing too much while on leave.

In this episode, Allison welcomes Parentaly's Head of Marketing, Jenna Vassallo, to cover the pros and cons of starting a new job when you're expecting. They address interviewing when pregnant and when to disclose, the challenges of onboarding and coverage planning at the same time, and why this experience can be quite different depending on your birthing status.

In this episode, Allison shares her personal struggles with parental leave and answers your questions in our first "Ask Me Anything" segment. Tune it to learn how her experience led her to build a company that helps parents grow their careers after they start a family.
