Business and social constructs were made without the consideration of working mothers who are ambitious. This might be the reason why 1 in 3 women start a business whilst they are on maternity leave, and 1 in 9 start a business whilst they are pregnant.
On this episode of the Working Mumma podcast I’m speaking with Carrie Kwan, Co-Founder of Mums & Co and Lucy Kippist, Community Manager at Mums & Co. Both women are passionate about empowering women to harmonise their ambition, livelihood, and wellbeing.
This is a value-packed episode filled with great advice from two very experienced women in community and business building. Both Lucy and Carrie understand first hand the juggle as working mums, but still fulfilling their ambitions and passion to support others.
During this episode we chat about:
- the value of community and the benefits a good community brings
- why women create their own businesses
- how our career outlook and priorities change once we become a mum and managing this shift
- the value of outsourcing
- why being articulate in asking for help can benefit you
- advice for mums starting their own business
- key skills to have when starting your own business
- Lucy & Carrie share how they find their work/life harmony
I really enjoyed the chat with Lucy & Carrie from Mums & Co and hope you do as well.
