The idea of having a successful career and raising a family shouldn’t be a daunting one, but for some reason, it is.

So many young women I talk to feel the same way. Some, are even considering changing careers that they love in order to prepare themselves for a family. The lack of women in leadership roles within the creative industry is a hot topic right now, and whilst having children isn’t the sole reason for this, it does play a big part.  

Even though I’m not at a point where I’ll be starting a family, it’s still something I’ve thought about, a lot. I honestly struggle to see how I can do my job (as an advertising creative) and have a family. 

I figured, if I talk to women that successfully juggle a family and career, then by the time I am ready, I will have all the advice that I need. I hope to inspire others and help eliminate common fears and concerns.

I want to show women everywhere, that it is possible to have both. To be a professional. To be a mum. To be a Pro Mum.

More recently I've also started to talk to parents (regardless of gender) to see how we can all help each other to strike the perfect balance.
