Just last month, Lisen published her very first book, Work Pause Thrive: How to Pause for Parenthood Without Killing Your Career. In her research, she interviewed 186 women and surveyed nearly 1,500 others to understand how successful women have integrated kids with their careers. She learned that 61% of Millennial women plan to pause their careers when they become mothers, and 77% of Millennial fathers have already changed jobs in order to have better work/life balance. Additionally, the burden of student debt coupled with the high cost of childcare mean many couples are forced to choose, and it’s often the women who pause their careers. These statistics caused Lisen to want to make a change in the world, and she now lives her purpose providing the next generation with insights and answers so they can better integrate kids with their careers.
