Joeli Brearley is the founder of Growth Spurt, an immersive online programme and community designed to support parents through the transition back to work after parental leave. She originally built her career advocating for parents through Pregnant Then Screwed, significantly shaping public dialogue and policy around parental rights and workplace discrimination. Growth Spurt brings together parents, psychologists, and experienced career coaches to provide evidence-based guidance, peer support, and practical resources for navigating working parenthood. Joeli’s work emphasises confidence, community, and systemic support to help parents feel less alone and better equipped for both work and family life. Members access tools and connections that address identity, career design, and wellbeing across the parental journey.
