Career Happy Mums: The Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode I chat to Helena Young, mum of two and Pharmacist who has experienced two significant pivots within her 15 year career.

Helena's first career shift came before having children and the second after her second maternity leave. Helena, now working in training and education as an Education Supervisor for the Centre of Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) now delivers training and support to pharmacy professionals moving into the primary care sector. Helena previously worked in community pharmacy and, more recently, was Head of Department of Compliance and Medical Affairs for an independent clinical services provider.

In this episode we discuss how Helena successfully achieved both changes in her career - what really helped her and how she decided to make the leaps. We discuss the difference in doing this pre- and post-children and of course the episode is jam-packed full of snippets of advice and tips for anyone else considering career changes.

In this episode I chat to Kelly Keating who, with a career spanning 25 years across SMEs the Third Sector and Financial Services, has purposefully established a portfolio career to ensure life and career can work together and be mutually rewarding.

Kelly shares her journey to reaching this goal, giving insight to a few of the many things Kelly is involved in as an employee, a self-employed Coach, a charity Board member, the co-lead of a professional female networking platform as well as being a mum to a five-year-old and a wife!

Kelly shares how she has positioned herself to make a difference - in her organisation and outside of this by living true to her values of Integrity, Community, Compassion, Growth and Connection. 

Kelly does not profess to being Superwoman by any means (although I do wonder!) and is very honest about the "juggle" she still manages. The clear positive here though, is Kelly's passion for all she does resulting in the fulfilment her portfolio career affords her. 

Kelly is upbeat, positive yet grounded and I am confident you will find this episode both interesting and inspiring.

In this episode I chat to Wendy North who, working as a freelancer in events, found herself without work and therefore income, literally overnight when the first Covid pandemic lockdown came. Wendy found herself questioning would the world, and therefore her career, ever return to normal? Was working in the event industry even what she wanted for the next phase in her career? 

Wendy shares how she navigated this uncertainty and how she made decisions on what was right for her and her family - which was not always what the rest of her network would have chosen or advised her to.

This conversation with Wendy provides some great insight, and advice and even touches on advice around making the decision (or not) to go self-employed.
