#35 Parenthood & perspective: How becoming a mum changed my priorities | Chat with Mel Newman


Listen Later

How do women prioritise after having a baby? Does a child mean the end of your career - professional or riding?

As a self-confessed career woman, Mel Newman wasn't expecting a baby to be part of their family dynamic! Having worked in Marketing within the equestrian industry for a decade, and with a string of high-profile brands behind her name, many could be mistaken for thinking of Mel as just "married to the job". However, in this chat, we're getting to finding out what really matters to this supermum!
This conversation touches on:
- Mel's upbringing between The Netherlands and the UK
- Her unexpected pregnancy and the impact it had on her riding
- How she makes balances family life with progressing her professional career
- The importance of guarding your mental wellbeing - especially with social media
- Societal expectations and roles in the home
- The importance of listening to your own instincts
- Plus, much more!
Enjoy listening along, as we have a laugh with (and learn a little more about!) someone we've worked with for many moons!
