April 22, 2020

Today's guest is Kate Toon, speaker, author, SEO lover, copywriter and podcast host. We recorded this podcast pre-covid-19 but all the topics are discussed as just as relevant today as they were 2 months ago.

Kate started her business when she was five months pregnant with her son. Over the past 11 years she has been able to craft her multiple businesses to align with her family needs. She has great insights, tips and expertise to share on all topics relating to the juggle.

We cover topics such as:

• Why Kate decided to start a business after a successful corporate career
• Discuss the realities of mum guilt and how she overcomes this
• How she has built the business around the hours she wants to work
• Parenting challenges, especially early on with a young child and growing a business
• The guilt of enjoying work and having a career
• Merging the worlds of parenting and work
• Concept of in-sourcing with children
• Mindset as a working mum
• Understanding your strengths
• LinkedIn tips
• Enjoying the struggle and not just the end result

I enjoyed this quote from Kate you are "Perfectly capable of being a great mum & having a great job".
