Welcome back!

After a longer than expected mid-year break (thanks, Covid) we are back!

Grab yourself a giant cup of tea or a bucket of wine, and settle in to be schooled by the outstanding Ellen Hooper. Mum, Executive Coach, Fountain of Knowledge, Annabel Crabb enthusiast. Ellen and I talk about careers, the mental load, how damaging gender stereotypes can be for families, and much, MUCH more.

She explains how being counter cultural to design the life that works for YOUR family can be challenging, but rewarding.

A jam packed, thought provoking episode.

Thank you, Ellen!

USEFUL LINKS - evidently we spoke about a lot of things which are reference-able!
