1 Paid Parental Leave Is a Win-Win for Employees and Businesses: An Interview with Allison Whalen 30:33
In this episode, Kortney talks to Allison Whalen about paid parental leave. Allison is the founder of Parentaly, a company that helps improve the parental leave experience for everyone : the expecting employee, their manager, peers, direct reports, and business leaders. Paid parental leave doesn't just benefit families, it's a game changer for businesses, too. Allison shares how companies that champion parental leave gain a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent. Strong parental leave policies may seem like they would cost a business, but in reality, they are a smart investment for any company's future. Navigating the transition back to work after parental leave can seem daunting, but Allison and I discuss practical solutions to make it easier for both employees and their managers. We talk about personalized coverage plans and strategies for a smooth and meaningful return. Allison illuminates the importance of a thoughtful approach to parental leave policies—ensuring they're not just a checkmark on a benefits list but a true pillar of workplace culture. Join us for a thought-provoking look at the delicate intricacies that can make or break the parental leave experience, and how getting it right is a win-win for everyone. More About Allison Whalen Allison started working on Parentaly after she returned to work from her first parental leave and found her piece of the business in disarray and her direct reports unhappy. After surveying her peers, she found the #1 complaint and reason for attrition and unhappiness after parental leave was due to the disruption the time away created in their careers, not parenting or health concerns.

1 The Kyte Baby Fallout: When a Family-Friendly Business Isn't Really Family Friendly (solo episode) 9:38
When family and work collide, the aftermath can echo across the nation. That's precisely what happened in the heart-wrenching case of Marissa and Kyte Baby. This short solo episode talks about the Kyte Baby controversy and the reality of parental leave policies in America. I talk through Marissa's ordeal with her premature baby's NICU stay, her employer's rigid policies, and the viral aftermath that shook the foundation of Kyte Baby's brand. This isn't just a narrative about one company's misstep; it's an examination of the systemic failures and a call for change in the workplace. Employees need empathy and support from their leaders, especially in times of such a fragile situation as having a premature baby.

It's becoming more common for Dad to take on the majority of parenting responsibilities. In many households, he may even be the lead parent! In this episode, Kortney talks to Paul Sullivan about what it truly means to be a 'lead dad' in today's world. Paul shares his journey to becoming the Lead Dad in his household, balancing a journalism career with being the primary caregiver to his three daughters and supporting his wife as she began her own business. Along the way, Paul realized that there wasn't a lot of support for fathers who were taking on the bulk of parenting responsibilities, and The Company of Dads was born. Now Paul offers a support network for fathers who are redefining the traditional boundaries of 'dad duties' and advocates and educates the world of work about Lead Dads. The conversation dives into some of the challenges that working parents face. Paul suggests that employers offer care days to allow employees to care for children and other loved ones. We also discuss the need for equitable parental leave and the stigmas that fathers often encounter when they choose to prioritize family. This episode is full of passionate conversation that's sure to resonate with anyone who has ever played the lead role in parenting. It's also a great listen for managers and workplace policymakers looking to shape a more inclusive work environment where caregiving is not just respected but championed. About Paul Sullivan Paul is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties - or at the very least not embrace stereotypes around who does what at home. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul understands intimately the joys, frustrations, isolation and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It’s a role that is growing in numbers but is far from normalized. Paul lives in New Canaan, Connecticut, with his wife and their three daughters and three dogs. When not running The Company of Dads or being a Lead Dad, he is an obsessive golfer.

Discover how to navigate themaze of parental leave programs with the help of Linzay Davis from The Park Consulting. In this discussion, Linzay shares not just the technicalities of state and federal protections but the emotional and financial impact these policies have on American families. We'll reveal how understanding and preparing for parental leave can change the game for new parents. While Linzay's experience focuses on California's paid leave, this episode is packed full of insights for anyone planning to start a family or leaders hoping to better understand the complexities of paid leave. The current state of parental leave in the U.S. is a patchwork of policies that often leaves families in a lurch. We talk about the harsh realities that over half of the women in the country do not have job protection to take parental leave, leading to a startling number returning to work too soon postpartum. Lindsay and I tackle the gaps in paid leave, the limitations of short-term disability insurance, and the dire need for systemic change. We also talk about workplace rights under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the Pump Act, two critical pieces of legislation that support pregnant and nursing employees. We lay out the potential legal recourse for non-compliance by employers and share resources for parents seeking guidance. Whether you're a parent or an employer, arm yourself with the knowledge and insights from this episode to better support the parenting journey.
