Engineer, Mama & CEO of California Maternity Leave Consulting

Let me show you how to get the most paid time off during your maternity leave in 3 simple steps! 

 

Figuring out how to put together a maternity leave can be TOUGH!


With a seemingly endless supply of blogs, articles and conflicting information on the internet it’s not surprising that brilliant, savvy and smart women just like you leave pay and time off on the table every day! 

And if you’re like most expectant women planning out their maternity leaves, then you might be feeling frustrated, confused and tired of getting the runaround from your employer who doesn’t really seem to understand how maternity leave “works” either.

Don't spend another minute worrying because...

There is a Better Way! 

INTRODUCING...

The Maximized Maternity Leave 101

This isn’t a boring, hard to comprehend legal-jargon-filled confusing words-on-a-page confusing blog

It’s a simple, 3 module on-demand video program that will walk you through how to put together your longest paid maternity leave…and your friends will be asking you "how did you do it?!"

  You’ll discover the tangible options you actually have for your maternity leave - so you won't look back after your leave and say "I wish I had known that was an option for me”

  You get clarity on what specific State, Federal & Employer time off's are relevant to you, how to creatively stack them & ensure you’re getting the most time off - giving you confidence instead of confusion when putting together your leave plan 

  You uncover all the ways you can get paid during your maternity leave  - all without needing to be a “math person"

  You get all the “done for you” forms, templates and processes to take the guesswork out of putting your leave together - because I know you have so many other things on your busy mama plate!

 

All of this from an engineer mom of 2 who got tired of the ineffective "old way of doing things", came up with a better way & has helped hundreds of women get more paid time off to bond with their new babies!

Here's What's Inside...

In Module 1, I break down the alphabet soup of Federal, State & Employer leaves so you will know exactly how much time off you are entitled to, what your rights are and how to extend your leave for as long as possible.
 

And yes, I share real-world examples of what I have seen work! No urban legends!

Inside Module 1, You'll Explore:

  Uncover what leave laws pertain to you and your employment type and structure

  Know EXACTLY how much time off you are entitled to and how to secure it
  Understand your rights for your time off and what your employer can (& can't) ask you to do
  Learn the only ways to secure, extend & end your time off 
  Discover all of the in's and out's of requesting your leave the right way with confidence
  Know exactly what to look for in your employer documents to understand how their time off benefits work and make them work for you

Inside of Module 2, you will get all the details and specifics (without being overwhelming!) on how to maximize every $$ out of your paid leave. You will learn how to file your claims, who you file with, how wage replacement works and how to get more. 

Yes, I share with you real world examples from my clients!

Inside Module 2, You'll Explore:

  Discover how to maximize your PAID time off when out on leave
 Clearly understand how to calculate what you’ll be making while you are out
  Discover the secrets on how you can actually make more money while you’re out on maternity leave than if you were working (true story, I’ve done it!)
  KNOW exactly how much pay you are entitled to and how to get it 
  Get a Rosetta Stone-style approach to walk you through interpreting your insurance documents and complex employer benefits packages

Inside of Module 3 you will be able to implement my 7-step process for putting together & securing your maternity leave that have helped legions of women get their maternity leaves approved!

You walk away with exactly what you need to submit your maternity leave request to your employer!

Inside Module 3, You'll Explore:

  Uncover how to put your leave together the most efficient & easy way

  Step-by-step process showing you EXACTLY how to put your leave together and considerations you might not have thought about
  Discover how to negotiate with your employer to more pay or time off
  Learn how to handle when something doesn’t go according to your plan & your options
  Understand how to end your maternity leave with ease- regardless of whether you integrate back to work or leave your employer

And!

You’ll receive over two thousand dollars worth of additional bonuses!

 

The 3 main modules inside The Maximized Maternity Leave 101 program will get you the most pay and time off from your benefits, but that’s only the beginning!

When you join me inside The Maximized Maternity Leave 101 you also get 5 massive bonuses to help take more off your plate, make this even EASIER & get you to your ideal maternity leave as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can spend your precious time designing the perfect nursery and picking out your newborn photo outfits!

Have questions?! WE HAVE ANSWERS! You get access to my *LIVE* bi-weekly maternity leave office hours with priceless support navigating the complexities of all things maternity leave. Get a consistent source of peace of mind with troubleshooting, assistance with how to advocate for your leave with your employer, clarification at your fingertips and get my expert guidance from having helped over 1000 women on and what works and doesn’t so you don’t waste a precious minute and have someone who has your back! ::fistbump::



 

Tired of trying to calculate how many weeks off you will get, what your actual dates are, or what happens if the baby comes early/late or your leave changes unexpectedly? I created custom programmed, easy-to-use calculators to visually see a calendar of YOUR time off, dates & total pay while you’re out on leave! Sometimes seeing is believing and these calculators are visual so you can actually SEE how much time you will have off with dates on a calendar and what you will get paid while you’re out, no more confusion or guessing! Run them as many times as you want and for as many scenarios as you want to "try on" different maternity leaves like you would clothes at your favorite store!

What goes in a maternity leave request? How to protect yourself with the right documentation? How to prevent employer pushback as best as possible? I have you covered with a PROVEN successful simple-done-for-you fill-in-the-blank template you can email to your employer to secure the maternity leave you are entitled to! I walk you through editing the template line-by-line and how to customize it for your maternity leave. This is the email you can’t afford to not send.

 

 

I get the question "what about my partner?" all.the.time. So I have created a bonus module on how the leaves they qualify for, how to secure & how to incorporate a partner into your maternity leave plan and maximize family bonding before returning to work.

Ever wondered what to do if you get into a sticky situation where things don't feel right with your employer? Situations like if your employer is forcing you to use sick and vacation time off when they can't. Or if your disability goes long and you exhaust all your protected leave and need more time off, is your job still protected? Or how to stand up to your employer when they are sharing incorrect truths about your benefits and entitlements and won’t budge? In this workshop you our expert California disability attorney answers your burning questions and gives you the “red flags” to know when your employer is encroaching on your maternity leave rights steps to advocate for yourself!

Now you might be thinking,

OK, what is this program going to cost me?

 

Because my mission is to empower every single expectant woman in California to get the maternity leave time off and pay they are entitled to, and deserve, I want to get this in your hands today for a huge savings off the normal investment! 

From my engineer mama heart - please don't go the time consuming & inefficient DIY/Google route...

...you and I both know that would take forever and your time is so valuable...

...there is an easier and faster way, let me guide you!

So tell me, are you in?

"Trying to navigate and plan against a leave without her help would have been extremely challenging..."


Diane is so knowledgeable and passionate about all things CA maternity leave. Each module she presented was extremely detailed and straight to the point. I did have some knowledge about protected and paid leave prior to joining the group, and Diane really helped piece it all together to come up with a robust plan for me to take action with. She gave helpful suggestions on really how to maximize both my time off and wage replacement. Trying to navigate and plan against a leave without her help would have been extremely challenging, and it helped take one MAJOR worry off of my pregnancy plate!

~ Sarah C.

"After taking the course, the policies were clear and understandable and I understood what was available not just legally but at my company."


I remember trying to read through my company's policies around Maternity leave and felt like I was reading a theoretical physics paper. After taking the course, the policies were clear and understandable and I understood what was available not just legally but at my company. Diane does a great job of breaking down the legal policies available to you as well as help structuring your thinking and planning around your desired maternity leave. I felt incredibly confident asking for what I was entitled in my conversations with my company.

~ Susan C.

"I’m so glad I bought this course! It’s amazing!"


I am so glad that I saw your ad on Facebook and bought the course. I used to feel so confused about maternity leave in California and after going through your course, I had a better understanding of it and knew what to do in terms of calculating my own maternity leave days and various income sources while on leave. I’m so glad I bought this course! It’s amazing! A happy customer -Fengjiao 

~ Fengjiao Y.

My HR lady apologized and told me “you were right!”


So they are going to honor my request and all of my time off will be protected! As to the COBRA- that issue took a little more pushing, but again WE were right and they cannot do that during a protected leave. Thank you for all your guidance and help pushing these issues and making me more confident in my position for my meeting! It really did pay off and worked in my favor!

~ Jessica L.

"The calculator is super helpful because it allows me to test out different scenarios and come up with the most optimized plan..."


The maximized maternity leave program clarified all the confusing parts about the maternity process and helped me come up with the best game plan for my leave so I get the maximum benefits. Diane was super friendly and resourceful answering any questions I had during our 1:1 consultation and made me feel very confident talking with my administration team about the maternity plan that she helped me formulate. The calculator is super helpful because it allows me to test out different scenarios and come up with the most optimized plan in terms of when to leave & how much benefit I will get from it.

~ Liz K.

"Had I not gotten clarification from my interactions with Diane, I would not have the vocabulary nor the confidence to advocate for what I was entitled to.."


Diane was super helpful in making sure I could confidently advocate for myself when it came to maximizing the financial compensation that I was entitled to during the entirety of my leave. Had I not gotten clarification from my interactions with Diane, I would not have the vocabulary nor the confidence to advocate for what I was entitled to, and with another child on the way (one at home) every dollar counts. Thank you Diane for making sure moms to be have the tools they need to successfully ensure a positive outcome when planning for maternity leave!

~ K.D.

"I feel like a maternity leave master now!"


Thank you so much Diane! This is all such good news and helps me feel more confident going into my meeting tomorrow! But thank you for the awesome modules and loads of information! I found it all helpful and feel like a maternity leave master now!!

~ Heather T.

"I felt much better about planning for my maternity leave!"


As a person easily overwhelmed by money and financial planning, this approach was perfect for me. I appreciated the grounding exercise before, the workbook to follow along, and the laid back style of the discussion. I felt much better about planning for my maternity leave!

~ Dr. Danielle Gran

"Thank you so much for being able to provide me with the much needed knowledge and template to provide for my employer."


I’m officially on my first day of maternity leave as of today. Yesterday was my last day at work. The head of our HR team got back to me the following day saying “Thank you this is all very helpful. Take your time we are a pro-family organization. Don't worry about rushing back, take the time you need for you and your family.” So far everything seems to be going smoothly.

~ S.R.

"An hour spent with her was an incredibly valuable resource for me and my family."


I was ready to give up and forfeit any state disability benefits since I thought my small business structure was too complex to qualify. Thankfully I came across Diane's website two weeks before going out on leave - just in time to learn I was indeed eligible to collect not just short term disability but also how to maximize the paid family leave benefit. An hour spent with her was an incredibly valuable resource for me and my family.

~ Leslie C.

"This program was incredibly helpful and everything was very clear!"


I was feeling so overwhelmed with planning my maternity leave. This program was incredibly helpful and everything was very clear. Thank you so much for your help!

~ Ali M.

"It such as relief knowing I have this course for guidance."


Everything from the first module to the last module was highly valuable and included a lot of information and knowledge. Going in to this process not knowing one thing about maternity leave, it such as relief knowing I have this course for guidance. Thank you, I highly recommend!

~ Maricela Aguilar

"After meeting with Diane, I had a solid understanding of the laws under which I could take the time off..."


Before consulting with Diane, I spent some time online and I gained a decent understanding of the basics of CA maternity leave. However, I had a feeling that there were some holes in the explanations and they were usually a bit confusing and jumbled. I knew that I could maximize my wages and time off somehow and I decided to figure this out with Diane. Thank goodness I did! For some background, I work at a small employment law firm but there is really no structure and I was asked to come up with my own plan for approval. This meant that I could really maximize my benefits! After meeting with Diane, I had a solid understanding of the laws under which I could take the time off, and she helped me figure out a way to get paid during my entire lengthy time off, including the unpaid 4 weeks during PFL! It was essential because she helped tailored the plan as it applies to the type of work I do and my unique circumstances. Amazing - what a valuable session. Thank you so much, Diane!

~ Sarah Y.

"Taking both her online course and a 1 hr consult with her helped clear so much with understanding my pregnancy disability!"


Before I spoke with Diane I was confused with my maternity leave and what I could get out of my pregnancy disability. After speaking with Diane I understood a lot more about my pregnancy disability and how to get the most out of my pregnancy disability when on leave. We went over how to apply for my disability, how to maximize my disability, extend, and maternity letters. Diane also helped me and get me advice with advocating for myself which I thought was very helpful! Taking both her online course and a 1 hr consult with her helped clear so much with understanding my pregnancy disability! Highly recommend Diane to those who need help when going on maternity leave!

Maximize Your Paid Time Off Right Now!

I'm Diane, and I'll be Your Guide!

Engineer, two-time mom, and a financial maternity leave planning expert.

Since 2013, I’ve been helping legions of intelligent women, just like you, navigate and maximize their maternity leave benefits to have more time off to bond with their babies.

I have navigated two maternity leaves of my own, one of which was 10 months long. I put together this unicorn-style maternity leave only after 1,000's of hours or research, meetings, calls and waiting on hold. I had so many women ask me how the heck I did it.

After speaking with these women and helping what I felt like was too many women to be experiencing the same thing, I knew I HAD to do something. It didn't feel right that there isn't an simple-to-understand way for women to easily get priceless information about their maternity leave benefits & entitlements. 

Since there was no affordable help available I decided to change that and formed California Maternity Leave Consulting in 2021.

I have now served hundred of women in all sectors of employment - from large corporations like Disney & The Honest Company, to public agency employees, doctors, technology companies, retail & non-profits. I also work directly with employers to craft family leave benefits packages to provide additional benefits to their employees and consult 1:1 with individuals & business owners who need support with their own unique maternity leave scenarios.

I am blessed to serve others through what I call the most rewarding "work" of my life. I can't wait to help you too!
