Careers, Motherhood & The Hidden Labour of Running a Business | Moo Chats Ep. 8

Nearly four years at Mooeys, starting as a Saturday therapist when her little boy Ollie was still tiny. Ellie arrived with serious experience behind her, having managed salons in London, worked in HR and recruitment, and built a career she loved. Then motherhood changed everything.Amy sits down with Ellie A, part of the Mooeys operations team, for a conversation that covers what it really feels like to lose your identity when you become a mum and how long it actually takes to find yourself again, the reality of stepping back from ambition when family has to come first, what makes someone a proper Moo and the red flags that end an interview before it has really begun, what operations in a growing franchise business actually looks like day to day, why communication and structure are the things most salons get wrong, what needs to change in the beauty industry and why training standards are letting everyone down, and where Mooeys is heading next.Warm, funny and completely real. Exactly the way we like it.🌐 Explore more from the world of The Mooeys Group:💅 Mooeys Salons – Book your treatments at: ⁠⁠www.mooeys.co.uk⁠⁠🐄 Franchise with Us – Ready to own your own Mooeys?
