How do we make peace with the type of mother we want to be when we also crave our careers or our own ambitions and dreams?

That's exactly what this week's podcast is all about when Amy speaks with Vicky Wren, a mother of three, an accountant with over 20 years of experience, a Mama Rising Facilitator and Coach, and a soon-to-be-published co-author in the book “Working Mothers Inspiring Others.”

In this episode, we discuss:

- the eye-opening moment she came face-to-face with the concepts within Matrescence.

- the cultural impact of living in Zimbabwe, and how it shaped her thinking around gender roles.

- Vicky's experience of 'The Inner Split' and how she came to terms with it.

- how you can be a great mum as well as a motivated career woman.

- some of her brilliant ideas around community, and mutual support of women from all walks of life.

I hope you find this conversation useful, and if you do, please share it widely so mothers everywhere can access the support and information they need to thrive.

ABOUT SARAH:

Sarah is the author of the best-selling book “Beyond Booze: How to Create a Life You Love Alcohol Free,” a multi-award-winning Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach, a menopause coach, and a keynote speaker sharing her journey to sobriety and the impact of alcohol on mental health with global audiences. Sarah works tirelessly to support women all over the world to create and live their best lives as they age.

After developing what she describes as 'a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol,' Sarah made the decision to remove alcohol from her life in early 2019 and has never looked back. She now works with women across the globe, guiding them from feeling lost, stuck, and out of control (something she fully understands herself), to a healthier and happier way of living.

She’s the host of a thriving, global online community (The Women's Wellbeing Collective), which offers a safe space where women feel seen and understood. Sarah meets her clients where they’re at, and her programs are designed for real life. She equips women with the tools they need to break the cycle of unhealthy habits and coping mechanisms. Her experience, knowledge, and passion have transformed lives.

Each client is uniquely supported on their journey - one day, one event, and one step at a time.
