Ep8: Motherhood At A Career T-Junction - Nicola Daniel
Season 1, Mar 08, 2020, 11:09 AM
International Women's Day special episode
*International Women's Day special episode*
What happens when your work life and personal life are put into conflict and hard choices have to be made?
How do you thrive in motherhood when your very identity is challenged?
How do you recalibrate what success now means for you, when your targets in life fundamentally change?
Well this is exactly what my guest today faced and overcame before setting up not one but two businesses of her own.
Today’s guest is Nicola Daniel - aka Davo - and you’ll hear more about her name and a lot about identity as we get into the episode. She is (in no particular order) a creative strategist, business founder, mum of two and one of the brightest shiny people who could ever hope to meet.
We talk about her experience of being thrust into a career T-junction as motherhood beckoned, what this meant for her and how she responded.
This episode is released a day earlier than normal to celebrate IWD - and it’s for working mums specifically for whom the themes around tough decisions and identity will probably especially resonate. But given the theme this IWD is "each for equal" I hope it’s also valuable for men too, as we know equality is not a women's issue, it’s everyone’s issue.
You can find out more about Nicola's business - the creative problem solving consultancy ChickenEggDinosaur
And her new enterprise - Booms & June Studio via their Instagram @boomsandjune
Have a wonderful week and I hope your mojo continues to flow
