Getting Started

Thanks for stopping by The Integrated Mother site!
As a first-time visitor, you may be wondering what The Integrated Mother is all about. In a nutshell, we’re about helping working moms bridge the gap between motherhood and career.

We know that working motherhood can be a challenging journey, and we also know it’s a tremendously fulfilling experience. We’re here to help you overcome the challenges that prevent you from fully enjoying this season in your life.

Getting Started - 5 Ways to Benefit From Your Visit
The Integrated Mother is a content-rich site that includes articles, tips, resources and advice that is organized into hundreds of posts. Here’s how to get the most out of your time here:

#1. Connect with other working moms. The busyness of working motherhood tends to be an isolating experience for many women. Yet, quality relationships offer you access to information, resources and connections that can help, and you’re also much better at responding to stress as a result. We offer two ways to connect with like-minded working mothers. Both options are free and you’re welcome to participate in one or both networking options:

#2. Receive our updates. Sign up for automatic updates from The Integrated Mother to keep up-to-date on our latest blog posts, announcements and articles. We don’t send SPAM and you always have complete control over your subscription. You can receive updates in two ways:

#3. Browse our “top 10″ articles. We’ve pulled from our archives some of our readers’ favorite articles and organized them under the header “Read About” in the sidebar to the right. This is a great place to start if you’re just looking around and trying to become familiar with our site.

#4. Search for an answer. If you have a specific issue or problem that you need help solving or want additional insight on, then try doing a keyword search using the search box found in the right-hand sidebar, or contact us to help you.

#5. Ask a specific work/life question. If you have a specific work/life question, then click here to have it answered via my affiliation with AllExperts.com. Again, this service is totally free!

Thank you again for visiting this site. I hope you’ll come back again and bring your friends with you. If you have questions, comments or feedback, please just let me know.
