Can We Have Both? Redefining Success in Motherhood and Construction

Join WiOPS SoCal for our annual Mothers Focus Group event, where this year we’ll take an honest and uplifting look at what it means to build a fulfilling career while also being the mother we want to be.

For women in construction, finding that balance can feel complicated. Long hours, demanding projects, leadership responsibilities, travel, field schedules, and a culture of constant availability don’t always fit neatly alongside pregnancy, parenting, and family life. Whether you’re considering becoming a mother, expecting, a new mom, or have been navigating both for years, this conversation is for you.

Together, we’ll explore how we define success, uncover the values behind those definitions, and take an honest look at where career and family demands compete. We’ll discuss the trade-offs, choices, and perspectives that can help us build lives aligned with what matters most.

Through candid conversation, humor, small-group discussion, practical resources, and shared experiences, we’ll challenge the idea that there is one right way to balance motherhood and construction.

Come ready to connect, laugh, share, and leave with new perspectives—and a small reminder to carry with you what matters most.
