How can acknowledging and embracing the inner split in motherhood lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life? In this heartfelt episode, Katrina Court an ICF-certified coach and Mama Rising™ Matrescence Facilitator discusses the profound identity shift that happens when you become a mum. She explains the concept of matrescence and the inner split that many mothers feel as they juggle their new role with their pre-motherhood self. Katrina shares her journey and offers practical advice on managing this dual identity with real-world strategies. Katrina works with mums who feel invisible, frustrated, and depleted by the early years of motherhood, supporting them to understand their matrescence, connect to their new identity, redefine success, and feel equipped with the tools and mindset to live a reimagined version of their motherhood.

Why do so many of us go careering into motherhood, unaware of just how hard it is to have a meaningful career as well as family commitments? And why don’t men struggle with their careers in the same way? We talk about the rise of flexible jobs and work anywhere policies, executive burnout and the pressure to be “always on,” Government claims that 75% of mothers are in work, and yet there's being in work and there's having a career. If you’ve had a career break, been on maternity leave, want a career change, want to relaunch yourself back into work or just want a happier balance between work and everything else, Careering Into Motherhood is here with practical advice, insightful interviews and real human stories. Jane Johnson helps empower women and negotiate with employers to offer flexible working so they can stay in their careers. She negotiated her own senior role as a job-share, and in 2019 she set up the Careering Into Motherhood Facebook Group to promote discussion around flexible working, the group now has more than 8,000 members and a successful women’s mentoring programme.
