17| Nicole Buesnel, Founder of Career Mum Collective: how a personal experience with lack of return to work and career support led to a passion and the establishment of her business

Launch Mama Podcast

Today I am joined by Mama, Nicole Buesnel. Nicole is a full time working mum (of two boys), and founder of Career Mum Collective (CMC). She has been managing teams for over a decade and has scaled the corporate ladder. She loves her career in corporate and during this time she has enjoyed managing people the most and watching as they become empowered to make their own decisions.

However, since becoming a mum, she has been faced with the challenges that every ambitious career mum faces: the judgement, the obstacles to overcome, and the support that’s somehow *still* lacking. Using this passion and understanding she wanted to support even more career driven mums like her outside of her own internal team. CMC was born through the values of learning, connecting and growing your sense of self in order to thrive in the workplace (and in life), and offers a product that is supportive, fun and exciting.

On this episode we talk about Nicole's journey as a employer, Mum, and Founder.
We also discuss Nicole's personal struggles with return to work support, and how this led to the birth of CMC. This episode is inspiring and reassuring that it's possible to continue chasing your passions and dreams during motherhood.
