Going back to work isn't selfish with Hannah | senior marketing manager & mum of two

This episode is for the ambitious mums – the ones who love their kids and their careers, and who feel a little lost when they step away from either.

We talk about the quiet doubts many mothers have but rarely say out loud:

What if I don’t want to stay home full-time?Why does no one question dads the way they question mums? Can I be ambitious and a present parent?

This episode is an honest look at the real sacrifices of motherhood – physically, emotionally, professionally – and how many women are learning to make choices that honour both their families and themselves.

Topics we cover:

Identity, ambition & returning to workMental load and asking for helpSupport systems at work and homeFinancial realities & outsourcingLetting go of guilt — and owning your choices

Welcome to Have It All, the podcast that says the quiet part out loud about motherhood, career, and the chaos in between.

I’m Emily Parks. Mum of two, marketer, and someone who’s learned that doing it all often means doing too much.

Every second week, I chat with women navigating the juggle of working motherhood. These are honest, messy, and uplifting conversations. Because having it all doesn’t mean doing it all. And you’re not meant to figure it out alone.
