Season 2 is officially coming to a close, and I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap it up than with a solo episode in my Rewriting the Motherhood Rulebook series. Today, I’m opening up about why I don’t want to be a stay-at-home Mum - a topic that, for the longest time, made me feel like a "bad Mum". I’ll share the mindset shifts that helped me move through the guilt and judgment that came with this decision, the expectations society places on Mothers, and why I believe there’s so much value and fulfillment in being a working Mum. This conversation isn’t about shaming any particular path in Motherhood - it’s about creating space for different choices and normalising the conversations we’re often afraid to have.

I’ll also be diving into the practical side of balancing work and Motherhood without the guilt. From setting boundaries and creating routines to prioritising quality time over quantity, I’ll walk you through the systems and mindset shifts that allow me to thrive in both roles. If you’ve ever felt torn between your career and Motherhood, struggled with judgment from others, or questioned whether you’re “doing it right,” this episode is for you. Let’s dismantle the outdated expectations placed on Mums and give ourselves permission to create a version of Motherhood that truly works for us.

Watch the Permission to Thrive replay here to say goodbye to Mum guilt for good!
