About this listen

Women Who Work is a non-profit organisation aiming to support and encourage women returning to work in professional services from maternity leave. On our podcast we speak to women about their experiences - tips, pitfalls, highs and lows! We hope that by sharing experiences and talking openly we can give other women some support, community and hopefully inspiration. We do hope you enjoy listening.

    In this episode we welcome Laura Jenkins to our podcast. Laura is a commercial litigation partner at Stewarts law firm. Laura specialises in complex multi-party litigation. Laura has been at Stewarts for most of her career having qualified at the firm in 2010 and she made partner in 2018.


    Most importantly, Laura has two children (aged 4 and 2) which is an age that Alsi and I are very familiar with.


    We loved hearing about the realities of balancing going on maternity leave and having children alongside partnership. Laura opens up about her journey towards motherhood and we loved hearing Laura's thoughts and insight on when is best to have children.

  • WWW Episode 24 with Nina MacEwen
    Apr 2 2025

    We are delighted to have Nina MacEwen on the Women Who Work podcast. Nina is Head of Distribution at Atlantic House Group which is a boutique asset manager specialising in derivatives solutions. Nina has worked there for over 13 years, despite at one point looking for other job opportunities, and has seen it grow from 6 employees to 45 today. Most importantly, Nina also has 2 children aged 4 and 18 months.


    We loved hearing Nina talk candidly about her childhood and how that shaped her parenting today, her career path so far and why going back to work at 9-12 months post partum is the worst!
