Welcome to Birth at Work. It's time we talked about what it's like for the millions of us growing families while growing our careers.

In S2 EP 2, we sit down with Yusuf Ongel, the founder and CEO of of XDRHub, the go-to business development and lead generation agency, dedicated to helping B2B organizations thrive in a competitive marketplace. He's also reimagining what working parent support actually looks like. After years exploring different industries—from trade unions to teaching to sales—he built his company around three core principles: flexibility without penalty, predictability and respect for time, and sustainable, human-centered work culture. As a working dad navigating childcare, career transitions, and co-parenting dynamics, Yusuf is on a mission to prove that companies can grow and let parents thrive.

In S2 EP 1, we sit down with Kaleana Quibell of Both&, a benefits leader turned founder, wellbeing advocate, and working parent on a mission to change the way we think about work and caregiving. She shares her own story of birthing two humans while holding an executive leadership position, as well as the moments where she realized it was just as important to support other parents' lived experiences and how that directly impacted her company policies. Now, she's made it her mission to empower working parents to create career paths that honor both their professional ambitions and family priorities.
