About Working Mumma
Motherhood changes everything. But it doesn't mean putting your career ambitions aside. Whether you're returning to work after maternity leave, finding your feet as a working mum, or wondering how to grow your career while raising a family, the Working Mumma podcast is for you. Having a career and being the mum you want to be shouldn't feel like an impossible choice. Hosted by Carina O'Brien, mum of two, senior leader and founder of Working Mumma, this podcast brings you honest conversations, expert insights and practical strategies to navigate the realities of career and motherhood. From rebuilding confidence and managing working mum guilt to negotiating flexible work, career progression, the mental load, and finding your identity beyond motherhood, we talk about the challenges working mums face, and what can actually help. Through relatable stories, expert interviews and real-life experiences, Working Mumma helps you make informed choices, feel less alone and create a career and family life that works for you. Because motherhood doesn't end ambition. It reshapes it.
