#114 - Career, Creativity and Motherhood: On the Drive to Build Something That Is Purely Yours - Rashi Kakkar

Rashi Kakkar started Decks and Diapers when she first became a mother.Not because she had time. She didn't.Because something in her needed to make sense of what was happening. The identity shift. The career tension. The feeling that motherhood and ambition were supposed to be opposites and yet somehow she couldn't accept that.She is a global leader at McKinsey & Company, a mum of two including a newborn, and knows what it takes to keep building when life is already full.In this episode:→ Why she felt compelled to create something of her own alongside a demanding career — and what it gave her that nothing else could→ The hard seasons behind the newsletter — and what kept her going→ What 100+ conversations with working parents revealed that nobody wants to say out loud→ What dual ambition actually looks like from the inside — the full picture, not just the highlight reelFor the mother who knows that creating something of her own isn't indulgent.It's necessary.All views expressed are Rashi's personal opinions and do not reflect the views of any organisation she may be a part of.
