About this listen

Go on the journey with Olivia Brafman, your host, as she figures out if women really can have the high flying career, and the family - and if so, how on earth do we navigate it all?


Each episode talks candidly to inspiring and successful women in their field who have been there, done that. Learn about their climb to the top, their failures, successes, choices and sacrifices, on balancing their professional dreams with the expectations and pressures of being a mother.


For all those women who feel in their prime to ‘lean in’, but yet their biological clocks are holding them back, I’m here to learn from the women who have proven the statistic wrong. Why? I'm determined to help more mothers not be forced out of work and instead, storm into those C-Suites, judgement aside and babes in arms.

    BONUS EPISODE - The Tech COO, Amber Coster - Addressing the big Taboos
    Sep 5 2023

    How many colleagues do you know that we’re open at work about when they were going to try for a/another baby?

    Why do you think that is?

    Fear of not being seen as committed? Fear of being treated differently? Missing out on the promotion or bonus? Judgement? What if the conception or pregnancy doesn’t go to plan?

    It’s such a huge life changing event that impacts every part of our being - mentally, physically, emotionally, financially. Any yet, at work, it’s business as usual.

    Incredible and inspirational leaders like Amber Coster, COO of Unmind, are bravely rewriting the rules, candidly speaking out about pregnancy, mental health and parenthood, and paving the way to normalise what is, well, NORMAL!


    Amber Coster, Chief Operating Officer at Unmind

    No stranger to scaling at pace, Amber’s held Vice President positions at hyper growth companies, ClickUp and AppDynamics. Amber leads Unmind’s business operations and people and talent functions with a focus on building a people-centric, high-performing business that delivers indisputable value to clients.

    What does success mean to you and would you consider yourself successful?


    I often ask my guests this and have received the most beautiful answers over the Seasons. Ones that have quite honestly changed my whole perspective, especially as a mother. Yet, I don't think anyone has articulated or embodied success as perfectly as Australian Sports Television presenter Em Freedman. She gives me hope it is possible to have it all, and I can't think of a better guest and message to leave this Season on.


    It's happiness, true contentment, at work and at home. It's when you stop thinking 'what's next'. It's not about having the most money, biggest following, highest status or best sounding title. It's doing something you love whilst carving out enough time with the people you love.


    However unconventional your setup might be, and whatever your situation, drown out the noise and determine success your way. You might be more successful than you ever thought possible.
