Dear Mum, it’s Tobi Asare: Identity after kids, confidence, and going back to work

from Dear Mum · host Charlie Barker

To the mums who are running on fumes, holding it together with a cold tea and pure willpower, welcome back to the podcast just for you.In Episode 4, I’m joined by the incredibly inspiring and relatable Tobi Asare, where we’re talking about the *real* juggle - work, motherhood, identity, and the pressure to “do it all” without falling apart.Tobi shares what burnout actually looked like for her, how she navigated thoughts and actions around her career in the chapter of motherhood, the moment she knew she had to speak up at work, and why taking a pause doesn’t mean you’re failing - it means you’re listening.We chat trade-offs (and the parts no one posts about), how to protect the thing that keeps you sane - whether that’s exercise, friends, or just five minutes where nobody needs you - and why “buy a new bra” might be the most underrated advice a mum can put on her fridge.Pop this on for the school run, a walk, or that rare quiet moment - and if it makes you feel less alone, you’re exactly who we made it for.New episodes every Thursday - hit FOLLOW so you don’t miss one ✨Follow Tobi AsareIG - https://www.instagram.com/tobi.asare/ LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/mybumppayFollow me (Charlie!)IG - https://www.instagram.com/charlielaunderAnd get to know my business, Bumps & Burpees - www.instagram.com/bumpsandburpeeswww.bumpsandburpees.comProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️Music licensed via PremiumBeat - 4WJJ2ROAVKXSJCGW
