Episode 15: Great Job Mama Podcast | Returning To Work After Having A Baby with Melissa & Brittany
We are so excited to have Melissa Ackerman, the President of Produce Alliance and Brittany Dobslaf, the Director of Client Services of Produce Alliance on our podcast today! Produce Alliance specializes in providing fresh produce category management services including procurement, national distribution, information services, and food safety assurance to food service clients across North America, Canada, the Caribbean and beyond. The Chaotic Commute started as a simple idea between Melissa and Brittany, each looking for others that understood and shared the delicate balancing act, of being a working mom. Their goal at The Chaotic Commute is to support working moms through shared experiences, ups and downs, and the daily grind. They want to be a platform and an alliance to help working moms through the tough times, to celebrate the good times, and to remind them that perseverance, determination, and grit will propel them in both their personal and professional lives. It is a place where as a working mom you will find you are not alone, rather you are surrounded by a community of strong women, just like you, who are navigating this chaotic commute together.
