Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.
To help me unpack today's dilemma, I'm joined by another special guest: podcaster, author, coach and founder of Motherkind, Zoe Blaskey!
Our dilemma this week is all about balancing career ambitions and motherhood - or, as our listener puts it, 'career vs motherhood.' She's 33 and plans to start trying for a baby in the near future, but a combination of loss of confidence in a male-dominated, high-pressure work environment, a desire to follow her own professional ambitions and a fear of failing at having a career AND being a mother have left her feeling completely stuck.
In this episode, we tackle the conspiracy of 'having it all' when it comes to mothering and working, why building self-confidence is the first step to figuring out the way forward, and the transformative power of matrescence. Zoe also shares her insights on navigating toxic work environments, the value of mentorship, and how to find the organisations that value and support employees who also happen to be parents.
