Meet Tara: The Mental Load, the Metrics, and the Motherhood Mess (Anonymous Submission)
About the role
After being sidelined post-maternity leave—twice—this anonymous HR professional stayed in a lower-level role for the flexibility she needed as a mom. But behind the scenes, she began building something bigger: a financial coaching brand to help other women reclaim their power. This is her story of resilience, quiet ambition, and the cost of staying in a system that wasn’t built for her.
About Both&
Both& is a storytelling platform and resource hub for career-driven parents navigating moments of change - after parental leave, after burnout, or simply when something isn’t working anymore.
We believe that becoming a parent can shift everything - and that shift deserves support, not silence.
Founded by Kaleana Quibell after her own transition from corporate executive to consultant and mom of two, Both& exists to normalize the messy middle of work and parenthood. To say yes to both ambition and presence. Career and caregiving. Doing what you love and doing what your family needs.
At Both&, we spotlight the three most common paths working parents consider:
- Stay: when you remain in your role but want to work differently or advocate for new support
- Shift: when you move into a new job, a new field, or even start something of your own
- Step Away: when you pause, reset, or leave work altogether (for now), without guilt or shame
Each week, we share real career stories from moms and dads who’ve walked these paths—with practical takeaways, tools, timelines, and resources to help others do the same.
You'll also find:
- A curated library of vendors and services supporting parents in the workplace
- Tools and templates for redesigning your work life
- Career transition guidance from experts and coaches
- A community that values both ambition and care
Whether you're figuring out how to make your current job work better for your family, wondering if it's time for something new, or needing to step away—this space is for you.
