Popins Parents Say:
"I could go on leave stress free knowing everything was taken care of. Everything about my leave flowed effortlessly and allowed me to focus on my new baby." - Erin
"It was incredibly helpful to have external accountability. The Popins weekly reminders ensured that I was doing at least one thing each week to prepare for my maternity leave. And the tips throughout the course are great! There are many small things that I wouldn’t have thought of." - Danika
"I felt so much better prepared for my parental leave after completing the coursework and coaching sessions and my team was better for this planning too. I continued to receive support when I returned and almost a year and a half later, I'm still meeting with a small cohort of other moms using Popins as well, which has been really insightful and supportive for me." - Morgen
