Sadly too many women are on the road to burnout or are just a breath away from it. But most of them don't even realise it.

All too often it takes hitting the brick burnout wall for us to realise. By that time it's too late.

So how can we actually stop burnout before it starts?

My guest is here to tell us how. As a burnout survivor, Dr Jacqueline Kerr left her position as a public health professor in 2018 after her burnout experience and is now on a mission to dismantle the causes of working mother burnout.

Her TEDx talk provides solutions that we can all use to change the social norms around burnout and I'm delighted that she's here to share these insights with you.

Her 20-year experience as a behavioural scientist combined with her own personal burnout experience means that Dr Kerr has a powerful perspective on burnout that you're going to want to hear.

She went from stay-at-home mum of 25 years to successful business owner in just 5 years!

It's easy to lose yourself in motherhood and fall into the unhelpful narrative that being a mother disadvantages you in your career and in business. But today's guest is here to prove the motherhood advantage - that the skills we pick up in motherhood allow us to become exceptional business leaders. Today I'm joined by Maxine Laceby the Founder and CEO of Absolute Collagen. Maxine went from stay-at-home mother of twenty-five years, to boiling up bones at her kitchen table for the collagen benefits, to a leading beauty entrepreneur. She has taken the market by storm, building a credible and ever-growing beauty business, turning over £1M in just one short year, and over £20M just a few years later. Maxine runs the business with the help of her two daughters and they now enjoy the massive success that they built from their family kitchen table.

I'm delighted that Maxine joins us today to share all about why she thinks the skills we pick up in motherhood make us brilliant in business.

What about the dads?

Recent research shows that 1 in 10 new dads will experience some symptoms of post-natal depression and 39% of expectant dads are concerned about their mental health.

The mental health of men is still overlooked with suicide remaining the biggest killer of men under the age of 45, and 12.5% of men in the UK suffering from depression and anxiety.

New dads are particularly vulnerable as financial and work pressures coupled with a huge life change can have a significant impact. Dad's poor mental health negatively impacts support for mothers and the development of children.

So today's conversation is a much-needed one. My guest is Elliott Rae.

Elliott is an author, speaker and founder of MusicFootballFatherhood the UK's most exciting parenting and lifestyle platform for men.

Elliott is encouraging open conversations about fatherhood. His book Dad; Untold Stories of Fatherhood, Love, Mental Health and Masculinity is a must-read. Each chapter is a story from a different dad and takes you on a journey - each dad bears his soul and they are deeply personal stories.

Elliott was diagnosed with PTSD after the traumatic birth of his daughter. It's that experience that has led him to dedicate his life's work to creating spaces for more open conversations around fatherhood and changing the narrative..

This episode launches on Father's Day week in the UK and this is the most incredible way to acknowledge and celebrate fathers and I can't wait to dive into this conversation.

I pulled the ripcord on my career.

It was only years later that I realised what influenced me to leave a highly lucrative career that I was succeeding in.

I didn't like what I saw when I looked up.

What I mean by that is that I couldn't see female leaders that represented how I envisaged my life to be.

In this episode, I share the personal impact of not having positive working mother role models. I explore why it's vital for organisations to support and promote them too.

Let's give ourselves, and others, relatable, positive and attainable role models for when we look up.

Because our daughters are looking up too.
