What happens when a Fortune 500 exec stops hiding her identity as a mother at work and starts leading with it instead?Lucy Watkins, mum of two, had a realisation: the same leadership skills she used at work - structure, empathy, communication, strategy - could transform her family life too. She stopped hoping things would just work out. She started designing them.The result? She went from burnout to impact, won an Employee Award for changing workplace culture around parenting, and created The Family Playbook - a weekly rhythm that helps ambitious parents move from surviving to thriving.In this episode, we explore:Why "work-life balance" is BS and what intentional integration actually looks likeHow she built a Family Playbook the same way she builds team playbooks at workThe visibility revolution: bringing your full self to work instead of compartmentalisingWhy motherhood became her leadership superpower (not her limitation)Weekly rhythms vs rigid schedulesEnergy management over time management, presence over perfectionLucy doesn't treat family life as something that happens TO you - she treats it as something you LEAD. Because leadership starts at home.
