Are you a career-driven woman who also cherishes the joys of motherhood?
We understand the unique challenges you face as you strive for success in your career while nurturing your family. Our village is built upon the belief that you don’t have to choose between excelling in your profession and being a loving, present mum.
With a supportive community, expert resources, and masterclasses, we’re here to help you navigate the delicate balance between work and family, reclaim your harmony, and unlock the incredible possibilities that await you.
Join us in this empowering journey and discover a village that understands and celebrates the strength and ambition of working mums like you.
Supporting women’s workforce participation
All too often the Achilles heel of a women’s career is having a child. Over 1 in 2 women experience bias when they become a mum. The pandemic has supported flexible work for working parents, but there is a lot that can be improved to support working mums. Workplaces all too often don’t have the resources to support working mums and you have to navigate the path on your own. It doesn’t have to be this way.
In the Working Mumma Village we want to support you in providing you the network, coaching, resources, and confidence as a working mum.
It takes a village to raise a family, but it takes a village to support a working mum
Thrive in both your career and motherhood with Working Mumma Village – the ultimate support system for ambitious working mums. Join our empowering community and unlock the secrets to achieving success in all areas of your life.
Reclaim your balance, redefine your journey, and celebrate the amazing strength of being a career-driven mum with us.
Many people tell you that you CAN be a mum and have a career.
But, don’t give you the community, resources and strategies to support you navigating the juggle.
Are you tired of being told that you can have it all – a successful career and a fulfilling motherhood journey – without being provided the necessary support, resources, and strategies to make it happen?
We understand. It’s not easy to navigate the complex landscape of juggling work and family responsibilities without the proper guidance and community by your side.
It doesn’t need to be lonely, feel like you should justify why you are choosing to work, or feel like you are treading water hoping for someone to throw you a life vest and rescue you.
Have you found yourself saying things like
Is it all worth it trying to ‘have it all’?
I see others juggling but it seems too hard to me
I only want to work part-time and there doesn’t seem to be many jobs
Finding flexible work that aligns with our goals is common for many women
Childcare is so expensive and I just seem to be working to pay for childcare
I’m sick of working to pay for something that I often can’t use because of sick children
I have no time for myself and I’m exhausted
Is there an “off” button on the treadmill to catch up?
Good news – you don’t need to do it alone. There is a Village ready to support and watch you thrive.
I’m here to tell you that the thoughts, feelings, doubts, and challenges you experience are perfectly normal.
But here’s the secret: You don’t have to feel this way.
You deserve to navigate this journey with confidence and success.
You deserve to have a successful career.
You deserve to be the mum you want to be.
You deserve to be a role model for your children.
You deserve to be happy and fulfilled in all areas of your life.

Working Mumma Success Path
Let’s have a look at how you can get the support you need
I know life as a working mum can be like a rollercoaster of emotions, and navigating the journey can be just as unknown.

You can work through this at your own pace and get support along the way.
Regardless of where you are on the Working Mumma Success Path,
here is what you will find inside the Working Mumma Village

Nice to meet you
I’m Carina O’Brien – Founder of Working Mumma
Hi, my name is Carina O’Brien. I am a wife, sister, friend, and mum to 2 active boys (1 & 4 years), an angel baby, and a fur baby. I enjoy being active, and going for a run is my thing. I also enjoy a nice glass of red or gin in front of the fire with my hubby.
In 2019, I founded Working Mumma, and continue to build a community that engages with over 5,000 women to support them in navigating their journey of motherhood and career. I am passionate about helping women have a career and be a mum.
The inspiration for Working Mumma came when I was 6 months pregnant with my first son and I was wondering how I was going to have a career and still be a mum – I wanted both. I looked around for stories and tips on how to manage the juggle and couldn’t find what I was after. So, I created it myself!
