How can I have children and a career? Top tips & stories from our Rise Academy



You feel “what I’m doing isn’t quite right anymore”. So, where do you start? Do you need to make a small change to your current role? Or a bigger career change?


The Busy Bees fear change and say "I’m always too busy to do something about it!”.

Risers instead have the courage to take action.


So take your first action, grab your favourite drink and join me for my Realtalk with innovation expert Elina Gaillard. Elina and I share our Wingwoman wisdom with you today to help you:


  • Stop feeling lost -> and learn which key questions you should ask yourself regularly, to check you’re still on the right path


  • Go from other people controlling your time -> to working in an organisation on your own terms, with more time for the things that matter to you


  • Let go of the fear of making a change, choosing the wrong thing or not having "a straight career path"


  • Take a look inside our Rise Academy, which Elina went through to go from “I felt overwhelmed like an octopus with rollerblades on ice” -> to “I had the courage to take my life into my own hands and find a job where I work the way I want”.


A little extra tip: I always start and finish my day with an investment in myself. By doing something that gives me energy. So why don’t you start or finish today with us and this episode? :)


I'm sending you loads of courage to take your life into your own hands, Valerie
