Hi, we’re Maeve Montgomery. And we’re here to help.
First—take a breath.
What happened to you was not your fault. Look in the mirror, truly, and repeat that ten times.
Losing a job while pregnant or postpartum is a career disruption and emotional whiplash. It’s fear layered on top of physical recovery, medical appointments, financial pressure, and the responsibility of caring for, or preparing to care for, a child. It can feel isolating, unfair, and deeply personal.
You are not alone. And you deserve support.
We built this network for you.
Why We Exist
We exist to stand beside parents who are laid off, pushed out, or quietly sidelined during pregnancy or the postpartum period. We believe you deserve dignity, protection, and support. You will not be silenced. We are here to share your story and force change.
Our work is about humanizing your story, helping you move forward, and building a future where this never happens again.
What We Offer Right Now
A Digital Storytelling Platform
Your story matters. Our platform gives you a safe place to share what happened, if and when you’re ready. By telling these stories, we shine a light on a problem that thrives in silence and remind the world that these layoffs impact real families, not just headcount.
A Pep Talk (Yes, Really)
Sometimes what you need most is to be heard. To cry. To vent. To be reminded that you are capable, talented, and still worthy, even after a layoff. We offer compassionate, judgment-free support because no one should go through this alone.
Resume Support
We’ll review your resume, and we’ll do it for free. Parenthood doesn’t diminish your value. It sharpens it.
Job Search Support
From role exploration to interview preparation, we help you navigate what comes next at a pace that respects your life, your body, and your family.
Corporate Partnership Program: “The Vow”
We work with companies that publicly pledge to never lay off employees during pregnancy or postpartum. These partners donate, advocate, and help us change the system so fewer parents ever need us in the first place.
What We’re Building Next
We know this is only the beginning. And our vision is bigger, because your needs are bigger.
Legal Aid Grants & Referrals
Our goal is to provide access to legal support for pregnant parents, or partners of pregnant parents, who may be experiencing discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination.
Free Mental Health & Prenatal Support
Through partnerships, we aim to offer free therapy, mental health care, and prenatal services because stress during this time isn’t just emotional, it’s medical.
Job Matching With Supportive Employers
We are building pathways to connect laid-off parents directly with family-first employers who value working parents and honor The Vow.
A Note From Us to You
You are not “behind.”
You are not less capable.
You did not fail.
You are navigating something incredibly hard during one of the most vulnerable seasons of life. And the fact that you’re still standing, still showing up for your family, says everything about your strength.
We’re here to support you now, and we’re fighting to make sure fewer parents ever have to experience this again.
When you’re ready, we’re here.
