October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a topic we’re very connected to here at LUMO, with our roots in the coaching and support of working parents and mothers. We’re so lucky to have the incredible Jenn Andreou as part of our LUMO coaching team, and as part of her own loss and grief […]
It’s that time of year again. The much-anticipated (yet frequently dreaded) one day a year where we celebrate everything that moms are to their families – Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day brings up a lot of emotions for people, and not all of it is of the “boy I’m glad to be celebrated” variety. At LUMO, […]
Oftentimes when we hear a phrase like courageous leadership – grandiose thoughts of leader bravery come to mind. Large sweeping monumental acts.
