  • S1 Ep37: Poetry & Pain Relief
    In this episode, Kitty Dimbleby, journalist and fellow working mother, talks about how poetry has helped her through some really challenging times, as a child and again now as an adult. Kitty’s resolution to read a poem a day throughout the year has led to her starting to write her own poetry, and then led to subsequent commissions and the likes of Bill Bailey reciting her work! We talk about the impact this has had on her ability to cope with extreme physical illness, and the mental challenges that come with it.

  • S1 Ep32: Facing And Coming Back From Redundancy In Motherhood
    When Eleanor Tweddell was made redundant a few weeks before Christmas, she felt like her world had suddenly fallen apart. Feeling as though she’d let down the people who depended upon her most, and as though her career was in tatters, she hit rock bottom. But Eleanor’s new book is all about how she came back from that period and was able to rebuild her life, find joy in other things and re-evaluate what she really wanted and needed in her life. In this episode, we hear from women facing redundancy right now, and Eleanor shares some of the tools and advice she used to get herself back on track.

  • S1 Ep31: Returning To Work...Without Leaving The House? We Talk Returning From Maternity Leave During The Pandemic
    Returning to work after maternity leave can be exciting, fraught with anxiety or just a bit unknown.

    After any time out, it takes effort to get back to where you were. But when you overlay some of the things women experience after having a baby, like loss of confidence, postnatal depression, having to look for a new job, or entering a new world of childcare logistics - it’s not easy.

    But how do you do all of this in a pandemic when your clients and colleagues are all working from home? No more,“Shall we go for lunch and have a chat about my new role?” No way of swinging passed your boss’ desk to talk about that new project...

    In this episode three women - a teacher, a senior analyst at an investment bank, and a marketing exec - talk about their experiences of returning to work when the world is working online.

    Please be aware that this episode covers a number of mental health issues and difficult birth stories.

  • S1 Ep30: Why Men Win At Work & What Women Can Do About It
    In this episode, Gill Whitty-Collins, author of the book Why Men Win At Work, and career coach, Amy Shepherd, give their shared perspectives on why men historically and currently “win” when it comes to work. Gill talks about the research and findings in her book, while Amy gives some thoughts of her own and practical advice not necessarily for “beating them at it”, but for carving your own new path when it comes to career success.

  • 29: Anger, Emotions And Gender Stereotyping With Soraya Chemaly

    Soraya’s book Rage Becomes Her was published in 2018, and in this episode she talks about the premise of her work; that society conditions children’s emotions to respond in particular ways, and as a result, girls are not just discouraged but often punished for being angry, which goes on to have serious repercussions in adult life, at work and in politics.  

    In a year that has left many women feeling incredibly angry on both sides of the Atlantic, Soraya talks about whether or not change is afoot.

About Careering into Motherhood

From the publisher's feed

Why do so many of us go careering into motherhood, unaware of just how hard it is to have a meaningful career as well as family commitments? And why don’t men struggle with their careers in the same way?
