Hello & welcome back! In today's episode, we delve into the intricate dance between ambition, motherhood and entrepreneurship. My guest, Carrie Kwan, co-founder of Mums & Co., joins me to share her wisdom, insights, and practical tips on navigating the complexities of modern life as a business owning Mum. Carrie’s mission in life is to help women harmonise ambition (business and career goals); livelihood (family and financial routine); and wellbeing (individual physical, mental and spiritual health).  And Mumbition™ is the Mums & Co word for it.

We’ve recently collab’d with her to produce a Mums & Co x Dream Life Mumbition™ Journal – which guides working Mums through a simple, valuable and regular journaling practise.
