Sami Spalter: Maternity Leave is My Power Pause

May 6, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

Welcome back to Sami Spalter’s Nesting Series on Transform. Today’s episode dives into a hot topic Sami has a lot of thoughts on: maternity leave. She’s sharing her honest take on why you shouldn’t have to choose between building a business and building a family, and how she’s actively choosing both. If you’ve ever felt like “balance” means something has to give, this conversation will shift your perspective.


Tune in as Sami takes you behind the scenes of what this season actually looks like for her, from planning for her longest time-off yet, to pre-batching work and setting her team up to thrive while she’s away. It’s a real, refreshing look at leadership, boundaries, and creating a life (and company) that supports women through every phase. Consider this your reminder that you can do both.
