● We are the only advanced society in the world without paid family leave.
● Don’t let others tell you you should have a career or give up that career for a family. Do what is right for you.
● A person needs to move from fear to resolve and resilience, and it is easier said than done, but people can be helped on that journey by friends and others who will support them.
