204: The motherhood penalty, what it is and what we can do about it with Kelly Vickery

Kelly Vickery is Founder of The Mother Connection, and does amazing work to help us learn how to navivate the working world as women around maternity.

And boy is it shocking. Real talk, every woman I have coached who has been in and around motherhood has been penalised in some way. This episode does two things; first supports us as women, and secondly, helps us to get better at empowering and supporting other women.

This episode is for you if you want to know about:
✳️ The motherhood penalty, what it is and why we should ALL care about it
✳️ How our expected best self can get in the way of feeling enough - I really felt this and I am sure you will too
✳️ Matrescence; how it is a whole thing, and how we often marginalise it
✳️ The dominant power that work can have in our life, and how we can rebalance to be a little more of who we really are

There's also a brilliant interlude, baked in the middle of our conversation somewhere, but one that you won't want to miss as it helps you know what to do if you feel like you are experiencing these things. 

Thank you for being here. If you have any feedback, comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear from you at [email protected].
