Working Mum Life: Career vs Kids? You Don't Have to Choose

from Squiggly Motherhood | Reflective Motherhood, Honest Stories & Intentional Parenting · host Nicole

Working mums often face the daunting challenge of balancing career success with the high-pressure mental load of parenting, especially when there is no family support nearby. In this episode of Squiggly Motherhood, Elizabeth Ajayi, a Director at Capgemini, explains how she navigated a major career move from PwC shortly after maternity leave, a decision many considered the "wrong time". We explore practical strategies for work-life balance, the importance of outsourcing chores like meal prepping and cleaning, and how to maintain professional ambition while thriving as a mother in a demanding consulting environment.Join our Community: https://squigglymotherhood.substack.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/squigglymotherhoodTiktok: https://tiktok.com/@squigglymotherhoodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/squigglymotherhoodIf you've got thoughts, questions, comments or feedback you can email me at [email protected] you've enjoyed the episode and would like to support me, buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/squigglymotherhoodHello Fresh Discount: https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/freebox/MzMxMTU1MzY1LTAtNC0xMS1HQg#WorkingMum #WorkLifeBalance #CareerSuccess #MentalLoad #CorporateParenting #WomenInLeadership #SquigglyMotherhood #CareerReset #NoVillageNoProblem #ProfessionalMoms
