Let's rewind.
I was working as a social worker at a large Los Angeles County agency. The needs in our communities were massive, and helping people navigate state benefits became my top priority. It broke my heart to see clients miss out on months of assistance they were eligible for, solely because of unnecessary confusion. I became obsessed (in a good way) with understanding exactly what the state offers and how to convey that information to working people, so they could confidently go get the benefits owed to them.
In 2023 I was pregnant with my son and had just started at a new company. Their parental leave guidance? A wall of acronyms, percentages, and jargon that made my head spin. So I did what I always do, I dove deep. I researched, asked questions, signed up for consultations, and learned everything I could about maternity leave rights in California.
What I Was Entitled To vs. What My Employer Policy Said
Your situation will look different than mine, but the same principle applies: the more you understand what is available, the more leave you can decide to use, and the more precious time you can have with your baby.
Our mission at Wolff Pack is to keep it simple by providing clear parental leave guides, no expensive consultations, no upselling. Take a short questionnaire and get a clear and straightforward pre-made document explaining what the State of California provides based on your answers. No jargon, no alphabet soup.
From one parent to another,
we've got this, together.
