💌 WM Digest | March 24, 2024

👋 Welcome to the Society of Working Moms Weekly Digest!

These roundups are to help you stay in the loop and to make Slack more manageable.

You are receiving this email because you are either currently a member of The Society of Working Moms, you signed up for the waitlist, or you signed up for the newsletter.

While we are in beta testing for the next few weeks, this will be the best way to stay in the loop about when we launch. If you don’t want to receive these emails, however, you can unsubscribe in the footer — we will miss you!

^{👇 If you haven’t already filled out an application on the website, you can do that here. 👇}

Starting next week, weekly digests will go out on Tuesday evenings (CDT) instead of Sunday evenings.

• We had our very first group coaching session with Jess Ringgenberg on Wednesday in the #coaches-corner, and it was awesome! This week, we’ll be talking about making time for yourself. Hope to see you there!
