You can love your career as much as your kids and still be a great mum
It’s a misconception that mums lack ambition and live for soft play and coffee dates.
Women are not supported to stay on career course when they become mums - we often feel we’ve been knocked off the career ladder because of lack of employer flexibility, not to mention the cost of childcare.
The average cost of a nursery place for a 2 year old for 25 hours per week in 2022 was £7000.
You deserve to be supported in your journey back to a fulfilling and successful career and I can show you how.
More than just Mum
Hi, I’m Jo Lawrence and when I returned to work as a part-time teacher after my second mat leave with twins, I had a is this it for the rest of my life? moment.
I felt more than just the bubble I was in.
Bogged down in the day-to-day mundane motherhood tasks (feed, nappy, play, sleep, repeat) and although I had an escape to a one-day a week job, I felt constantly in mum-mode and that I’d lost my sense of self.
Returning to work helped me realise I needed to find 'me', so I could be more 'mum'.
Working makes me a better mum - I have more patience with my kids when I’ve been away from them. Doing something I love (and get paid for) makes me feel great about myself.
Now I help some of the 1.5m UK women looking after family and home, who likely took a career break because caring responsibilities wouldn’t fit around their pre-kids career.
I’ve made it my mission to help you return to work in a role that lights you up and fits around your family.
Now’s the right time to make your career comeback
Childcare costs pushed many women off the career cliff (especially true for mums of multiples) but that doesn’t put an end to ambition.
2024 government funded childcare reforms have helped a lot of mums back into employment, maybe it could help you too?
Return To work is a process - that’s why I developed my RRR method which takes you through each step until you land the perfect role.
