Mom Camp: Around the Campfire

Jen Murtagh

Over 375,000 Canadian women take maternity leave every year. A recent survey showed less than 1% reported feeling confident returning to work. Further data shows salaries for mothers are on average 12% lower compared to non-mothers. WHAT?!  Yup, true story. And there is no shortage of data, reports, and discussions on the power gap and penalties put upon working mothers. That has only been heightened during the pandemic, and until now there has been no significant action.  Enter Jen Murtagh and Sonja Baikogli-Foley, founders of Maturn Canada. Their own lived maternity and career experiences led to the creation of this national program and a huge passion to address the inequality and lack of guidance women experience when taking maternity leave.  Maturn’s comprehensive program is the first to provide support and tools to working mothers, as well as organizations, to help them successfully navigate the maternity process without enduring systemic penalties or sacrificing career goals. Their aim is to modernize the way women take maternity leave and eliminate the "motherhood penalty" so many women experience. This is an awesome conversation about how Maturn is committed to turning the motherhood penalty into the motherhood opportunity.  You can find the full show notes, Jen and Sonja's bios, and Maturn's contact details at www.momcamplife.com/maturn.
