In this inspiring episode of the Work it Like a Mum Podcast, I’m joined by Anaïs Comot, career strategist and founder ofHer Code. Anaïs shares her personal journey from burnout in the corporate world to finding her calling in coaching.
Her mission? To empower 100,000 women by 2035 to build careers they’re truly passionate about.
We talk about the importance of aligning your work with your values, navigating big transitions (like motherhood or moving abroad), and how Anaïs is building community and impact through her coaching and her membership platform, Her Circle.
We discuss:
Key Takeaways:
Burnout can be a breakthrough – Anaïs’ story proves that hitting rock bottom can lead to powerful transformation.
Your values matter – She shares how identifying her number one value (growth!) changed everything.
Motherhood shifts your mindset – From working smarter to prioritising legacy and impact, Anaïs explains how becoming a parent made her even more focused and driven.
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all – Titles and salaries aren't the only benchmarks. Anaïs encourages listeners to ask: What does success mean to me, now?
Networking is like gardening – It's not about instant results. It’s about planting seeds, nurturing relationships, and being consistent.
Seasonality matters – Whether it’s sleepless nights or shifting priorities, Anaïs shares why recognising the “seasons” of life and career is key to staying resilient.
