When we also choose to become parents, we become even more dynamic, multi-skilled, tenacious trailblazers!

"If you don't know where to start, then I suggest you start with STEM Moms. Cassie has created a one stop shop that walks you step-by-step through her process including tools, templates, and examples. It's like having her as a personal on demand coach! - Wendy Cocke, Engineer, Best-Selling Author, & Mother ""STEM moms"" is a transformative guide that empowers mothers and caregivers in STEM fields to unlock their potential while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. By sharing her own journey and wisdom with honesty and humour, Cassie makes this book feel like having a supportive mentor by your side. Packed with engaging worksheets and carefully crafted activities, this inspiring read offers practical strategies for identifying strengths and leveraging unique skills, setting goals, and overcoming burnout and imposter syndrome. This concise, engaging book is a must-have for mothers navigating a STEM career, nurturing their success and ensuring they thrive, not just survive. - Isabel Torres, co-founder & CEO of Mothers in Science Cassie's done a masterful job sharing her authentic and relatable story while overlaying and codifying an effective, structured, and enjoyable career/life development process! - Kristin Robertson, Senior Aerospace Executive & Mother Being a great parent and a successful professional are two very daunting goals in their own right. Doing both at the same time is even tougher. In this book Cassie addresses a major challenge for STEM mothers: how to flourish simultaneously in both roles. Coming at the topic from a practitioner's perspective, she provides a range of questions, assessments, activities, and practices to help you engage both roles with greater focus and competence. As you work through the chapters, you'll gain clarity around not just your goals and values, but the critical choices you must make in the service of those goals and values. And while the book is written specifically 'moms and caregivers who are searching for balance.' - and their 'allies' - the overall framework she creates has far wider application. - Craig Weber, Author of Conversational Capacity and Influence in Action, Father, & Grandfather Genuine. Authentic. Engaging. Relatable. Actionable. Worth my time and left me with a clear payout. - Jessica Turner, PhD in Microbiology & Mother You don't have to be in STEM to benefit -- anyone in a male-dominated field (or really just any women who work) can get something from STEM Moms! - Angela Bourassa, Mother of One, Executive Producer, Screenwriter, & Mother"
