Fixed my elevator pitch. My name is Christine Michel Carter. I help working moms feel confident and understood and make their employers do what those working moms want. #paidleave #childcare #mentalhealth #workplaceequity

Everyone talks about how zen being a plant mom is but no one talks about how you’re one motherf***in gnat in your face away from a nervous breakdown
You can pick my brain after you pick your payment method
