Gretchen sits down with Annie Woo, Senior Vice President of Mindbody, to talk about the mom/work balance. Annie has two young children, ages 2 and 4. At 32, she discovered that there were no lactation rooms at Mindbody. Annie was instrumental in having 9 lactation rooms created on the Mindbody campus. All it took was a conversation with the COO and some perseverance. She advises to women that they stand up for what's important to them. If their values don't align with their employers, they might want to move on. We also talk about what she does for wellness, her diet, and how she maintains her sanity working 50 hours a week as an executive at a $1 billion company whilst having two young children. This episode is slightly emotional and super inspirational for professional women thinking about starting a family and women with children.
