Working Parents - Making the Balance Work
Updated: Aug 19
Whether you’re preparing for parental leave, returning to work, or supporting working parents in your team, how do you make the balance work?
In this 4-part mini-series, we explore the very real juggle of being a working parent - and the shifts in identity, confidence and priorities that can come with it. Because you can love your job and love your family, and still feel like you’re failing both by lunchtime!
Each episode contains a mix of different voices and perspectives so at the very least, you know you are not alone.
We explore the transition from colleague to parent, the realities of returning to work after parental leave, the invisible worries and guilt that can accompany the juggle, and how to rebuild confidence when life suddenly feels very different. From extreme time management and childcare curveballs to that quiet “Can I still do this?” voice, we bring some of the often-unspoken experiences of working parenthood into the open.
As always, these are upbeat, practical conversations packed with ideas you can use for yourself, share with others or take back to your team. Whether a working parent yourself or a leader wanting to better support them, tune in, refresh your skills and take a moment for you.
