About this listen
Growing up, Sarah Chalmers-Page's dining table was filled with oil workers from around the world. Her father would invite colleagues home, and young Sarah would show them her toys.
It sounds simple, but this gave her something most of us never get—the radical understanding that people are just people, not stereotypes.
This early lesson in challenging preconceptions shaped everything: her NHS career helping patient voices be heard, her transition to freelance storytelling consultant, and now her mission to rewrite the narratives around working motherhood.
As a mother of two who "broke her mum's heart" by choosing university over traditional expectations, Sarah knows firsthand how limiting stories can trap even the brightest women.
You'll learn:
- Why we expect fathers to stay whole but mothers to disappear into their role
- How to find your "golden thread" when your career path gets messy
- Practical ways to avoid labeling your children (and yourself)
- Why "breaking your mum's heart" might be necessary for generational change
Perfect for mothers who want to shape their motherhood journey on their own terms and define what ambition means to them.
