I always knew I wanted a family and I always knew I would want to go back to work before the year was up. I made the decision to go back when my baby was 7 months old, I phased my return using holiday, working a 3 day week which would then increase to 4 full days. My son was enrolled in nursery & I was hurtled back into the world of deadlines, meetings and lunch breaks.
During this time, I noticed that there is a distinct lack of support for working mothers, it’s something that has improved over time but more could definitely be done. Our aim at The Working Mum Project is to provide a platform that voices all the highs and lows of raising a child and trying to climb the career ladder. It’s about knowing that wanting to do both is 100% okay, that it is about choice for some but a necessity for others. We will be sharing all our experiences, we want to collaborate with other mums going through the same thing, we want to talk about our days of nappies in the morning and professional presentations in the afternoon without a filter, without the best angle, just raw, honest accounts.
To anybody that needs to hear this today, you’re doing great. No, not just great, you’re doing AMAZING. You’ve got this Mumma x
Mum. Work. Mum. Repeat
