Synopsis

Balancing a demanding STEM career with life at home is complex, especially when the systems around you were never designed with working parents in mind. STEM Moms is a practical guide for moms in science, technology, engineering, and math who want to build sustainable careers without sacrificing what matters most.

Drawing on her experience as an aerospace engineer, engineering leader, and working parent, Cassie Leonard offers clear, grounded career guidance for STEM moms navigating early career decisions, mid-career transitions, and moments of burnout or misalignment. Through real stories, structured reflections, and hands-on tools, the book helps you step back from survival mode and make intentional choices about growth, balance, and direction.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Practical strategies for managing work-life balance in STEM roles

• Career growth tools designed for technical professionals and working parents

• Guidance on setting boundaries, managing expectations, and avoiding burnout

• Reflections on mentorship, resilience, and supporting the next generation of women in STEM

Whether you are questioning your next promotion, returning after a career pause, or trying to design a path that works for both your career and your family, STEM Moms provides a clear framework to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

This is not about doing more. It’s about using the skills you already have to build a career and life that fit.
