So refreshing and inspiring to read about a CEO on the early motherhood journey. As a mum of 2 very young children and a new founder I’ve really struggled to find others in a similar position. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly. As someone who's lucky enough to have an incredibly supportive partner, and *still* feel apprehensive about balancing career and keeping a mini human alive, articles like these are doing wonders to my anxiety
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and strategies so generously Alice. Sleep strategies and communicating clear boundaries are both things I've implemented and tried by best to protect too. ✨
This is exactly what I’d wanted to have read before returning to work after my year’s maternity leave. Great post & thank you for validating how I’ve felt.
I also returned in January and gosh, it’s been a shift going back to the corporate world after embracing motherhood.
On your straw-like falling out hair, I’d recommend blood tests for iron and thyroid levels, with a follow-up after any supplementation. Imbalances are massively under diagnosed as hair fall, tiredness and mood changes are often written of as being a postpartum ‘thing’.
Absolutely love this blog. It’s a strange period of time that no one talks about. And a phase that many companies struggle to support parents through, including the NHS… The Lowdown is lucky! Looking more to hearing about the breastfeeding blog.
"Thankfully my fiance Keiran used to be a management consultant, and has approached being a parent with the same veracity as a Deloitte transformation scheme."
Absolutely love this, and I think the way you've managed this, as well as the way you've managed as a team, is so admirable. Thanks for sharing
