Wisdom For Working Mums

Have you ever felt like you need to lean out of your career to manage the juggle as a working mum?  That you just can’t make the jigsaw puzzle work?  If you have, then this episode is for you! Going back to work after having a baby can be tough.  For many women going back to work full time is financially, emotionally, logistically and sometimes physically impossible.   So many women end up leaving their jobs and even their careers because they can’t find a way to combine their work and motherhood in a sustainable way. When my guests Hannah Hall-Turner and Rachel Maguire were colleagues at the same company and had their babies 6 days apart, they shared their dream to achieve work life balance with their new family commitments.  They didn’t want to leave their careers and qualifications they’d worked so hard for.  But they also didn’t want to miss out on the precious firsts with their babies. So they decided to put a business case to their employer to job share.  They got it approved and it was a win/win/win.
