Motherhood, Mindsets, and Making It Work: Nicola Lowe’s Wisdom for Working Mums

Work It Like A Mum

Are you feeling the squeeze between career ambitions and the rollercoaster of motherhood? You're not alone! This week's 'Work It Like A Mum' podcast is a real treat. We're welcoming the phenomenal Nicola Lowe, the brains behind Illuminated Development and Wisdom for Working Mums, for a chat that will light up your day.
Nicola's got quite the story. From navigating global organisations to launching her own venture, all while stepping into the world of motherhood. Dive into her journey with us as Nicola sheds light on how she reshaped her career after embracing the joys and challenges of being a mum. She's open, honest, and oh-so-relatable as she talks about evolving her business with a baby on board, battling imposter syndrome, and finding that sweet spot between professional growth and personal happiness.
Nicola gets real about the things many of us mums wrestle with - like that niggling guilt of wanting to work post-baby and the societal pressures of 'good motherhood'. Her story is a powerful reminder that it's okay to carve out your own definition of success and well-being. Nicola's creation of "Wisdom for Working Mums" is not just a platform; it's a pillar of support for mums like us, navigating the often choppy waters of work-life balance.
So, if you're looking for a blueprint to balance your professional life with motherhood or need inspiration to set boundaries that align with your values, this episode is for you.
Join us for this heart-to-heart with Nicola. Trust me, you'll walk away feeling empowered and ready to tackle the world – one nap time, board meeting, and school run at a time. Tune in, and let's get inspired together! 🎧💖
