Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Brittney — California mom, Parental Leave Consultant, and founder of Itsyourleave.

After 18 years in Silicon Valley tech, I left my career to build something I wish I had: real support for working parents navigating parental leave.

When I had my son, I thought I was prepared. But my claim got denied, and no one — not my company, not the state, not the so-called leave concierge I had — could help me fix it. I spent weeks stuck in the system, setting alarms every morning just to try to get someone at EDD to pick up the phone. It was exhausting, confusing, and expensive.

That experience changed everything. I realized how many families were being forced back to work early or missing out on pay, simply because no one explained their rights or walked them through the process.

Now, I help parents across California take 7+ months of paid leave with clarity, confidence, and zero guesswork.

At Itsyourleave, you get:

• 1:1 support tailored to your situation

• A clear plan for maximizing your leave and income

• Guidance on every form, deadline, and conversation

• Peace of mind knowing your job and time with baby are protected

You don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m here to make sure you take the leave you’ve earned—fully paid and fully prepared.

Let’s make it yours
