E10 featuring Catherine Williamson: Feeling grateful rather than worthy to return to work post-Mat leave

This week I talk to Catherine Williamson about how people make all the difference when it comes to positive and challenging work situations. Catherine has always been driven by the desire to be financially self-sufficient. She has always wanted to provide for herself, motivated by seeing women with limited financial literacy and perceiving them to be economically vulnerable and not wanting that for herself. Catherine's experience of returning to work after maternity leave were not positive ones, although with her inherent growth mindset and optimistic attitude she made the best out of the situations. This episode has so much in it it is difficult to summarise, and it is a long one at 48 mins but it is soooo good. Make sure you listen all the way to the end because that's where the best bits are! And after we finished recording Catherine just dropped into conversation that her second child was born on the side of the road as she was walking to the hospital - I am so gutted I didn't get that gold down on the tape. This is just one more example of how remarkable Catherine is; a true miracle working mum!
