How to Become an MVP Mom. Maximize Your Career Pivot to Earn the Six Figure Salary
Becoming a full-time MVP mom is a massive undertaking. Our Financial Griot podcast guest, Holly Noon, makes it look easy even if it’s not.
Growing up, the mantra often was, “You can do it all.” By the time we were adults, it changed to “You can have it all.” But having it all is hard work. It’s not a walk in the park and some days, you can’t quite adult. Fortunately, it’s all ok. You aren’t a machine.
Holly helps us discuss career trajectories and pivoting jobs for higher pay. She shares how she successfully increased her salary by over $65,000 in the last five years—and leveled up her career to her current position as Vice President of the Talent and Acquisition Diversity Data Program Management Lead. All while navigating a new blended family.
Turns out Moms make for great CEOs. While it can be challenging, there is still a lot of joy.

The bonuses of Having MVP Mom on your staff:
While moms are often overlooked, they bring an incredibly valuable leadership perspective to the table.
Moms (or even mompreneurs) tend to be both compassionate in leadership and very direct.
Due to their nurturing nature, natural multitasking abilities, strong organizational skills, capacity for understanding and empathy, and unwavering commitment to serving others; it’s hard to find anyone with comparable value.
Valuable employees need one thing; valuable benefits!
Here are some job benefits that are important to working mothers (from ChatGBT):
- Flexible work schedules: A must-have for many working parents
- Childcare help: Including assistance, stipends for expenses, and flexible spending accounts
- Paid parental leave: The top 100 companies offer an average of 10 weeks of paid time off to welcome a new child
- Lactation support: For those returning to onsite work
- Mental health support: A family-friendly benefit
- Mentoring programs for women: A top benefit for working mothers
- Digital forums for parents: For parents to chat with each other
- Programs for new parents: Such as return-to-work programs
- Stipends for child care expenses: Such as dependent care flexible spending accounts
- College savings plans: Another benefit that working mothers want
- Eldercare options: Another benefit that working mothers want. Moms tend to extend care and service to their aging parents as well.
About us since we aren’t moms:
The Financial Griot Podcast is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.
We tell the stories that others don’t. Stories about growth, opportunity, and embracing changes. Beyond that, we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporate actionable steps, and ultimately build generational wealth.
The hosts were able to amass over $3 Million in wealth in about nine years and are on track to retire early. We will gladly share the secrets if you want them since the opportunity is abundant and Win-Win. The overall goal is to help people including MVP moms and dads so they can find renowned value in the lives that they live.
We really want to see YOU win!
