These are just a few things Kelly is going to talk to you about in this webinar. Kelly is able to explain to you WHY each of these pieces are so important, the obstacles you might face with them, and HOW to overcome them.

The best part of Kelly Maher’s advice? You can continue to enjoy your maternity leave with your little one. You can avoid tons of research and worry getting in the way of your time.
