This is to all the working mums out there! Around International Women's Day, we want to give the stage to women and talk about topics (almost) only they have in their career and life. And what's a better, yet also quite unpopular topic than motherhood and career? For this, we managed to get Inessa, our marketing team lead and freshly baked mother, into this podcast episode to talk about the knacks and life of being a mum and a leader at the same time. How to juggle so many balls at the same time? What influenced her on her decisions regarding parental leave? What is she struggling with now? What kind of support did she get? All those questions were discussed in this episode, so put in your earplugs while doing the baby's laundry and listen in.

Everybody's talking about it, nobody can unsee it became a heavily discussed topic throughout the past years and especially since the pandemic - mental health. Even though many people talk about it openly already, we decided to also make it a topic in this podcast episode. Lisa from our Product Team and Michelle from People & Culture also think we should be even more open about it, be brave enough to start saying "no" to things and take more "me-time" for ourselves. Learn how the limited time we have in our lives impacts Lisa's day-to-day decisions and what role Fashion Cloud's leadership approach plays in supporting the people's mental health. Special thanks goes out to nilo.health, a tool we're using at Fashion Cloud to support employee's on their mental health journey.
