Wholehearted Living and Working Mums: Embracing the Journey of Motherhood
One of the biggest missions of my coaching practice is to help working mums find joy. Yet, as I reflect on conversations with my clients this year, an emerging theme resonates: the emotional weight of parenting with guilt. Many feel compartmentalized, broken, or cracked under the pressures of juggling motherhood, a professional career, and their sense of identity. This journey, often marked by parenting from guilt, stresses the question: what makes a good mother?
Why Every Working Parent Needs a Support Network
As working parents, we often believe we must juggle everything alone. But strength lies in knowing when to ask for help. Building a support network—be it family, friends, or parent communities—reminds us we’re not alone. A strong support system helps us reclaim balance, reduce stress, and feel empowered as both parents and professionals.
Communication: The Key to Balancing Work and Family Emergencies
One morning, a sudden family emergency tested my ability to balance work and home. In that moment, clear communication with my partner made all the difference. For working parents, open dialogue helps share responsibilities, manage stress, and build stronger relationships. It's not just about handling chaos—it's about creating a partnership rooted in teamwork and trust. Clear communication shows our children that we’re always in this together.
"Parenting with Guilt: The Battle Working Parents Face Daily"
As a working parent, guilt often feels like a constant companion. Missing my child's school event for a work deadline reminded me how easily we judge ourselves. But here’s the truth: guilt doesn’t define us as parents—it’s our presence in the moments we do share that truly matters. Let’s celebrate those moments and let go of the pressure to be perfect. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being present.
The Myth of Work-Life Balance: Why It’s About Integration, Not Perfection
"I used to chase the idea of 'perfect balance' between work and family, but it always felt like I was dropping the ball somewhere. As working parents, we’re pressured to achieve this elusive “balance,” but let me tell you—it’s not about splitting your time evenly. It’s about integration.
Instead of striving for perfection in both roles, focus on how your work and family life can flow together. Some days, work takes priority; other days, your family needs more of you. Neither makes you a failure.
Harmony is key, not perfection. When you embrace the natural shifts in focus, you create a rhythm that works for you."
Balancing Career and Family…
"You Can’t Have It All" – Or Can You?
Last week, I overheard someone say, ‘You can’t have it all.’ It made me pause. As a working parent, I used to believe that too. The constant tug-of-war between family and career felt overwhelming, like I had to choose one over the other.
But here’s what I’ve learned: balance isn’t about choosing—it’s about aligning. It’s not about splitting time perfectly but about being fully present where you’re needed most, whether that’s work or family.
The key? Set boundaries, define your success, and let go of perfection.

Connecting with our children through play
When was the last time you played a game with your kids? As a working parent, I struggled to relax into play, constantly distracted by the endless to-do list in my head. Over time, I learned that playing isn’t just for children—it’s a vital connection tool for parents too.
Switching from "work brain" to "play brain" isn’t easy, but small moments of playful presence can create deep bonds. Whether it’s silly imagination games or weekend board games, these moments aren’t about perfection—they’re about connection.

Can Working Parents Really Have It All?
As a working parent coach, I’ve learned that “having it all” is deeply personal. My journey—from an ambitious 20-something mom to a senior HR leader juggling three kids—taught me that balance isn’t about perfection. It’s about setting boundaries, redefining success, and embracing your own version of “all.”
Some days, you feel on top of the world; other days, it’s chaos—and that’s okay. It’s about the long game, not daily perfection.
What does “having it all” mean to you? Let’s redefine it together!
