About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of juggling work and parenting amidst life's chaos.

In this episode of Self Discovery in Good Company, we’re catching up after a bit of a break - and wow, life has been LIFE-ING… so we’re giving you an update on what we've been up to! We get into the reality of juggling work, parenting, and everything in between. From navigating promotions and four-day working weeks to the absolute chaos of life with toddlers, and multiple kids! We talk about the mental load that never really switches off, why work can sometimes feel like the easier option, and the constant feeling of being “on” for everyone else. We also dive into some big life shifts - including blended family life - and what it actually looks like to make it work day-to-day and why things will never be perfect, and that is okay. As usual we focus on how messy, chaotic and gorgeous life can be, while reminding ourselves that sometimes surviving seasons of life is more than enough.
