In this episode, I reflect on my recent overseas work trip and share some learnings and lessons about balancing professional opportunities with the inevitable “mum guilt.” I opened up about the emotional highs and lows of traveling for work, missing my kids and husband, while leaning into the unique experiences and growth that came with the trip.
Key topics I chat about:
- Embrace Opportunities Without Guilt
- Managing Mum Guilt
- Building Emotional Balance
- The Power of Support and Your Village
- Strengthening Family Bonds
Whether you’ve experienced work travel or are contemplating it, this episode provides a fresh perspective on navigating mum guilt and making the most of career opportunities.
