8. Mastering: Pragmatism

Welcome to a new season of Mindset - a guide for getting out of your own way and a blueprint for professional success.  This season, we’re doing something a little bit different. We’ve created a special mini-series all about returning to work after having a child. Over three episodes, FW’s very own Jamila Rizvi is joined by martescence expert, author and mum-of-three Amy Taylor-Kabbaz. Together, the duo unpack the transition back to work. They’ll walk you through matrescence, career breaks, birthday cake guilt, and the ongoing mental load of balancing ‘family you’ with the version of yourself that pursues a career.
