Growing Pains |  Where Business Owners Come to Plan Maternity Leave

How Didiana De La Osa Took a Real Maternity Leave Without Pausing Her Mission

Episode 137

When Didiana De La Osa joined my maternity leave program, she was pregnant, growing a mission-driven business, and determined to take real time off after her son was born. Just a few months later, she’s wrapping up her first maternity leave, and she did it without pausing her momentum or compromising her values.

Didi is a board-certified behavior analyst and university professor who supports clinicians and parents in building ethical, effective autism therapy practices. When we first connected, she was preparing to step away for the arrival of her baby boy while onboarding a new clinical contractor, setting up systems, and making sure her team could keep delivering high-quality support in her absence. In this episode, she walks us through the decisions she made to protect her family time, professionalize her operations, and return to a stronger, more sustainable business.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
• How IVF shaped Didiana’s perspective on asking for support and creating space for recovery
• Why she applied for our Bond Fund and what she did with the grant
• The operational systems she put in place to delegate confidently and avoid burnout
• How her maternity leave helped her expand her long-term vision (including credentialing in new states)
• What it actually looked like to be present with her baby for 3 months while still staying connected to her mission
• Her honest advice for Type A business owners who struggle to let go
