E21 featuring Louise Cornish: Postpartum fitness for this Oxford Economist

Today I share the story of Louise Cornish, who is the mum of two young boys and a fitness coach specialising in postpartum fitness. Louise studied Economics at Oxford and dabbled with career options in investment banking, where even as an intern she experienced some of the misogyny which is often associated with the industry. Louise has a really interesting career journey which combines her strengths and passions of your more typical "work skills" with a passion for being active. Louise decided to make the plunge and launch her own business after her mat leave following her second son in 2018 when her employer was unable to agree a flexible working arrangement for her so she could work from home one day per week. Yes you read that right, just five years ago, career choices were limited if you wanted to have the flexibility to work from home even just once a week. You just have to listen; Louise is enthusiastic and engaging and if you would like to know more about post-partum fitness you can find out more on instagram @louisecornishfitness or https://louisecornishfitness.com/
