  • Work Series: Listener episode: What we wish someone had told us about work + motherhood

    Work Series: Listener episode: What we wish someone had told us about work + motherhood
    2025/07/03
    Welcome to this very special final episode of the Motherkind Work Series. This one is close to my heart because it features you, the Motherkind community. I’m joined by three brilliant Motherkind listeners: Amy, who’s on a career pause, Vanessa, working full-time in a corporate role, and Jess, just back from maternity leave, working four days a week as an NHS psychologist. Each of them shares honestly and openly about what’s working for them, what’s hard, what they wish they’d known earlier, and how they define success now, in this season of motherhood. It’s like peeking behind the curtain. I know you’re going to feel seen, understood, and less alone listening to this one. If you love it, please share it with another mum who might need to hear these voices. And let me know — would you like more episodes like this from the Motherkind community? I’d love to hear what you think.

    Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This Moment episode is a re-release with the incredible writer and spiritual teacher, Rupert Spira. There’s something Rupert said during our conversation that has stayed with me:“The most important thing we can do as parents is model how we handle our emotions. That’s far more powerful than anything we could ever teach or say.” I’ve been thinking about that ever since we recorded. I think you’re going to get so much from this episode.
