In this episode I chat to Helena Young, mum of two and Pharmacist who has experienced two significant pivots within her 15 year career.

Helena's first career shift came before having children and the second after her second maternity leave. Helena, now working in training and education as an Education Supervisor for the Centre of Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) now delivers training and support to pharmacy professionals moving into the primary care sector. Helena previously worked in community pharmacy and, more recently, was Head of Department of Compliance and Medical Affairs for an independent clinical services provider.

In this episode we discuss how Helena successfully achieved both changes in her career - what really helped her and how she decided to make the leaps. We discuss the difference in doing this pre- and post-children and of course the episode is jam-packed full of snippets of advice and tips for anyone else considering career changes.

This episode is a little different as my guest, Amanda Newman, is not a career changer. She is however the founder of the incredibly successful and supportive free Facebook community The Career Mum , a working parent of four children (including 6-year-old twins!) and has carved a career in the male dominant industry of Technology.

In this episode, Amanda not only offers a huge amount of advice, wisdom, hindsight and vulnerability, but she also shares her thoughts on how to carve a career change - particularly into Technology. Amanda shares how she has navigated career shifts, what she has found most helpful in developing her career as well as insight as to when she has paused to reflect - such as at points when her family has grown and when being faced with breast cancer. 

If you are looking for inspiration, and tangible advice - particularly around a career shift into tech, this episode is for you. Having worked in Shell, Microsoft, IBM and Accenture, Amanda knows exactly what it takes and means to find mentors, sponsors and all kinds of support to help your career journey as a working mother.

If it feels like 'on paper' you should be happy in your career, but you're not, this episode is for you.

In this episode I chat to Rebekah Clark, who has embarked on creating an emotional wellbeing platform and community to help raise a new generation of resilient and mindful children. Happy Marlo’s tailored tools empower three- to 11-year-old’s so that they can understand and manage their emotions and feel prepared for the ups and downs that lie ahead in life.

Following a career in international media, marketing and communications, spanning over 22 years, Rebekah launched Happy Marlo in response to the high levels of stress, worry and anxiety children in the UK (and around the world) are experiencing. She brings bespoke and effective healing content to children and young people, with the goal of positively changing lives now, and for the future.

In this episode we not only talk about how Rebekah took the plunge to go for this career change, what the triggers were for her - despite it appearing 'on paper' she had her dream career; but we also talk about the work she does to help support young people and how we see this (hopefully) becoming the norm for future generations.

In this episode I chat to Paul & Emily Hughes - husband and wife who together run the Parent Guide to Education, a membership programme that coaches parents going through GCSE and Post 16 exams with their teens.

Emily and Paul, parents to three children, very honestly share their story of leaving teaching - how they planned for this after Emily experienced work-related depression. This episode not only demonstrates how work can drastically impact mental health but also shows that change IS possible - even when both partners make changes!  

the Parent Guide to Education has been an evolution, starting out as educational poster creation, to now fully supporting parents to go from worried and frustrated that they don't know how to help their child during their education, to confident they can handle anything exams throw at them!

Their story is incredibly inspirational - not only to demonstrate career change is possible, but also for parents who will face the exam stages with their children! (so all parents!)

In this episode I chat to Charlie Rosier, of Babbu, a digital nursery for everyone, to democratize early education, so that all children are afforded the same opportunities The sole purpose of this platform is to ensure EVERY child has the best possible start in life, through 15 minutes of play a day - which is scientifically proven to positively impact child development. 

Charlie has experienced several career changes - starting out in land sourcing for development opportunities, to working as a Senior Investor within a property investment company in Hong Kong, then as an entrepreneur building her flexible, on-demand, on-site childcare business, before embarking on the development of her new venture with Babbu.
