To be successful, we have to be just like everyone else, and just like we were before kids. And if we aren't, we'll be judged. But how do we change that? Here, Amy shares recent research she's done on this area, and how we might start to break the silence.

Imagine you're a go-getting, ambitious woman, having completed all the 'right' studies and followed the 'right' path. You were ticking all the boxes.
