The Savvy Working Mom: Be Present to Avoid Guilt and Experience Joy

Working moms are the backbone of our society, yet face challenges balancing responsibilities between work and home life as well as finding time for themselves. After becoming a mom herself, Whitnee Hawthorne, vice president of customer support at JetBlue Airways, decided she needed to find a way to support and guide other working moms in creating vibrant lives for themselves and their families. She founded The Savvy Working Mom and became a speaker, author and certified career coach, helping women realize their full power and potential.

In this video, Women Leading Travel & Hospitality Brand Director Hannah DeMaio speaks with Whitnee about why it's essential for women to be fully present in every moment to experience more joy; how working mothers can stop feeling guilty at work and at home; and why she empowers women with the term "work-life harmony” instead of “work-life balance.” Whitnee also shares how moms can ensure that the new post-pandemic remote and hybrid work environment, which blends our caretaking and work worlds, is a positive change in their lives.
