Because social media thinks it’s mums’ fault (of course). We’re not sharing enough about how joyful motherhood is. Of course this is rubbish. But I do think it’s so important for mums to connect with their own sense of joy, outside of motherhood, outside of work, just for themselves. Reconnecting with my personal sense of joy has been…a journey. It honestly feels like this year is the first since I became a mum that I have truly connected with the things that spark...2024-12-0512 minBump to Business OwnerBump to Business OwnerS4 E10: The career setbacks that led to success & campaigning for mums with Grace Carter of Business & BabiesTRIGGER WARNING: Baby loss, depression and suicidal ideation Grace Carter didn’t tell any of her clients when she had her first baby, a year into her business. And no wonder. Working in a male dominated industry, when Grace announced her second pregnancy, she lost £15k in recurring monthly revenue almost overnight. Motherhood and running a business took their toll on Grace’s mental health. But instead of becoming smaller in her struggles, Grace took up space.

I’m sharing exactly what childcare and support I had while setting up and running my business, because I don’t want anyone to think that I was ‘doing it all’. I very much wasn’t.

Sometimes it can even be these couples who end up with the strongest partnerships of all.

It also gave her a business idea: activewear for pregnancy and beyond. Having taken voluntary redundancy after her second mat leave, Claire was focused on her family.

Something that Rachel has found, which I’ve heard a lot on the podcast, is the advantage of being a ‘newbie’ in an industry. I think we can often dismiss ideas because we don’t have enough experience in the field, but that could be our strength.

For Louise, parenthood has not just been about raising kids, but about raising herself; uncovering new things and unlocking parts of herself that had been lost.

So Lauren sold WellToDo to focus on motherhood, yes, but also on building her purpose-led coaching business around her family. A night and day difference between her current and previous businesses.

Which sounds to me a lot like motherhood. Not only does Rachel and her business offer a best in class consultancy service for parental planning, but since going self employed at 26, a family has been in her business plan.
