Becoming a mum shifts the way we see ourselves, especially when it comes to work. For some, it’s a gradual realignment of priorities. For others, it brings big, confronting questions about identity, ambition, and what’s truly sustainable in this season of life.
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we chat with Gretchen Scalora, a mum of four who made the decision to leave a high-profile job - one she had once believed defined who she was - to become a “full-time mum.”
We talk about what led to that choice, the space it’s created, and how stepping away from paid work (while not an option for everyone) allowed her to reimagine what success and fulfilment could look like.
If you’ve ever felt caught between career and caregiving, or wondered who you are beyond your job title, this conversation offers a grounded and thoughtful look at one mother’s experience.
How Motherhood Changed Me is hosted by journalists Kerrie Turner & Jenna Yates.
