Episode The Identity Shift | Juggling Family & Ambition (with Lou Wilson) Cover

Beschreibung

Returning to work after having a baby is one of the most emotionally complex things a mother will ever do. And yet somehow, we’re expected to just get on with it. 🤍 This week we sit down with Lou Wilson from The Village for a conversation that is long overdue. We talk about what it really feels like to walk back into the workplace as a mum. The guilt, the identity shift, the juggle that never quite feels balanced. We get into what career ambition looks like when you’re also someone’s everything at home. And we discuss what really needs to change with parental leave for there to be a noticeable shift. This is the conversation working mums and dads deserve to have.

Episode Slow motherhood - a good reminder or another thing to feel guilty about? Cover

Slow motherhood - a good reminder or another thing to feel guilty about?

Pinterest says "Slow Motherhood" is trending up by 310%. Our first instinct? Ehhhhh, no thanks. We’re tired. 🙄 It’s easy to look at the aesthetic - the intentional walks, the linen pants, the sourdough - and feel like it’s just another stick to beat working mums with. But what if "Slow Motherhood" isn't about perfection? What if it's actually about the death of the overscheduled kid? So this week we're getting into it. What slow motherhood actually means beyond the Instagram version. Why a generation of parents is starting to question the over-scheduled, over-optimised childhood we've been sold. And whether any of this is remotely possible when you have a full time job, a mortgage, multiple kids, and a Saturday morning standing on a humid rugby field at 8am holding a 2L bottle of iced water wondering how your life came to this. Slow motherhood doesn't mean lazy. It might just mean sane.
