Welcome to the Work It Like A Mum Podcast. 

In this space, everyone is invited to pull up a seat, where we get into honest, refreshing and eye-opening conversations about what it really means to be a working mum and the beautiful, messy lessons that come with it. 

I'm Elizabeth Willetts, and I'm obsessed with helping as many women as possible achieve their boldest dreams after kids and helping you to navigate this messy AND magical season of life. 

Like you, I’m a working mum who

• Cleans Weetabix off the walls.
• Wrestles to get my daughter dressed before nursery 
• Is always the last one to arrive at school 
• Makes three different versions of dinner to accommodate my fussy kids (and for someone who hates cooking, that’s a big ask!)

And

I love my kids more than life itself.

I've got over 17 years of Recruitment experience and am the Founder of the Investing in Women Job Board. But not too long ago, I was at a crossroads with my own career. After being made redundant during the height of the pandemic and the subsequent struggle to find another part-time job at my level, I almost gave up on my career dreams. 

But after seeing too many of my friends sidelined at work for wanting flexibility, I knew I had to play my part in addressing the inequalities that still exist in our working world. By highlighting to Employers the positives, a flexible workforce can bring and helping as many people as possible find professional and rewarding part-time and flexible jobs that bring them joy.

But we can't be what we can't see, so in this show, I'm honoured to be chatting with remarkable women redefining our working world across all areas of business. They'll share their secrets on how they've achieved extraordinary success after children, set boundaries and balance, challenges they've faced (and how they've overcome them) to define their own versions of success.

Shy away from the real talk? No way! Money, struggles, growth, loss, boundaries and balance - we cover it all!

Think of this as coffee with your mates, mixed with an inspiring Ted Talk sprinkled with the career advice you wish you'd really had at school!

Every episode is brimming with ideas, tools, hints and tips you can put straight into practice so you, too, can have a career you adore. If it helps you achieve your dreams, we'll cover it - with raw honesty and a few laughs to ensure you are seen, heard, promoted and hired - whilst keeping your sanity at home!  

So grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine), make sure you're cosy and get ready to get inspired and chase your boldest dreams, or just survive Mondays.
