A thriving life is one you get to design, a career and life to support you, your family and what you want and need from your life
What I never expected from parenthood was how sickness becomes the number one curveball
I used to get so annoyed when S got sick
The assumption as the Mum with work schedule flexibility I would be the one to be there when “she can’t go to pre school”
It used to fill me with rage
Not because I didn’t want to parent
But that because the small windows of space I had for myself to rebuild my financial security, my space so desperately needed for my ADHD brain to process and a chance to actually try and connect with another adult in that moment was taken away
It’s both simple and complicated and I think the identity changes of both motherhood and realisation of not just being “one thing” in career has been so challenging to navigate the last year or two
Especially with a parent unwell too
What it has given me though is insight
Into collective female rage
Into personal needs
Into how hard Dads have it too
How isolating some ways of working are and how much I love and need to be around people
How there must be so many of us deeply capable, creative, fun loving, tenacious, ambitious, intelligent, passionate, lovers of a challenge or problem to solve, entrepreneurial who want to have happy, calm homes, work that fulfils us, time to actually have fun with your partner and energy to do the things you love to do
Whilst not denying the very real challenges, curveballs and moments of self doubt that inevitably come in

Today we had to move the in person meet up online as my daughter was sick. But because I’m now creating from energy over the image of success has huge organic potential for growth
