The Confident Mother

Supporting parents on their breastfeeding and infant feeding journeys

17th August 2017

How to baby proof your career even if you are an ambitious lawyer CC033

Listen to one lawyer mum’s story of how she struggled and survived her first year back in the law firm environment.

Discover the lessons that Caroline Flanagan learned on how to beat overwhelm and conquer guilt to triumph as a working parent. Caroline shares the successful skills and strategies that work for her and work for her clients.

To beat overwhelm, Caroline encourages you to:

  • Make mornings matter
  • Exercise (reminding me that Wellness is one of the key elements in The Confident Mother philosophy)
  • Start with No

To conquer guilt, it’s about:

  • Getting clear on your values
  • Not beating yourself up about mistakes
  • Challenging assumptions
