Wow! What a journey. As we enter the last 24 hours of Kickstarter for Mommy Goes To Work I want to jot down the 3 things I feel most grateful about in the last few months leading to where we are today: 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️more than 500 backers. 📚50 books donated, and 💰more than $28,000 to bring Mommy Goes To work to life! We have almost TRIPLED our goal!

💛 #1 The stories I’ve heard:
The feeling of knowing my book has touched people’s hearts and become part of their story is even more magical than I expected. We sent advance copies to friends and early testers, and what they wrote back encouraged me to keep going: “Love that this book is out in the world. I totally choked up the first time I read it to my kids!” “The kids' eyes LIT UP when we started reading, and my 5-year-old says: ‘Mama, how does Auntie Jossy KNOW about what we do!?’” I almost cried. My kids had this clear moment of ‘someone gets us.’ It was beautiful.” “I recently got promoted at work and am fretting telling my boss about being pregnant and taking maternity leave. This book is such an inspiration, as it reminds me how proud I am to be a (soon to be) working mother, and someday read this story to my son.” I saved all those messages, they reminded me why I am doing this.

💛 #2 The friends I’ve heard from:
I didn’t expect to reconnect with friends from all stages of my life (including kindergarten classmates!). My heart melted while I saw familiar names on the backer list, those I talk to every week or those I didn’t see for a long time. And I’m so thrilled about the new friends with a shared mission that I have met through this project. I can’t wait to collaborate and make the world a better place for working mothers!

💛 #3 The family supporting me:
Guess where the Mommy Goes To Work rewards were being assembled? My grandma’s house in by our family team! It’s literally from our family to yours! Opening a new school, raising a young family, and launching a new book all at the same time wasn’t easy. My husband Matt has always been my bedrock and steady beat of our sometimes a little too crazy rhythm. Our boys Jeremy and Timothy asked us everyday “how many people want to buy Mommy goes To Work now? 352? Wow, that is bigger than 3!” We are grateful that we got to create something purposeful as a family, go through the ups and downs together, and finally bring it to the world.

Thank you, every single one of the 510 backers and more working mom supporters who will join us in the future - you are our Co-Creators who made this possible! We can’t wait to develop the Mommy Goes To Work book series to support more moms and inspire more kids! 🤰🤱👩‍👧👩‍👦

Love,
Jossy

How was your drop-off this morning? Here’s to all the moms struggling through the tough drop-offs, you are not alone.

Last week my 3-year old cried for 1hr 55mins during his 2-hour first day of preschool…back to school is new and scary, especially after over a year home.

Tomorrow we will give it another go, and it will (hopefully!) get better altogether soon!

Over time, we’ve rigorously tested the storyline, character sketches, and design with over 100 people across the globe: parents, grandparents, educators, employers, toddlers, big kids and anyone else that was part of a mom’s tribe. And that’s how “Mommy Goes to Work” became perhaps the world’s most scientifically tested board book!

Enjoy this heartwarming book that eases separation anxiety and mommy guilt while sparking little ones’ imagination.

In 2021, the number of women running businesses on the Fortune 500 hit an all-time record: 41.

While these achievements are notable, they're only part of the story. Having a total of 41 women chief executives amounts to female leadership for just 8.1% of the Fortune 500.

Woom, an incubator nurturing working moms, further analyzed the 41 female leaders and found that only 32 of them are mothers, which is just 6.4% of the Fortune 500.

We believe that the only way for more women – and mothers specifically – to get to top leadership positions is by feeling more supported at work and at home. We know the potential that working mothers bring to CEO positions at top companies, and with Woom, we’re developing solutions to help them get there.

Hi, I’m Jossy! I'm an MIT-trained entrepreneur and a mommy who goes to work.

School drop-off is often the most crushing part of my day. The tears, the mom guilt, the feeling that maybe I’m not doing the right thing. To solve my own drop-off problem, I rallied a team of working moms and we created this book - “Mommy Goes to Work”!
