How do I balance managing a large team and demanding kids? Is now the right time to start my own business? Can I flourish in a part-time job?

  • Fantastic first episode

    After following Elizabeth on LinkedIn for a while, I saw her post about her podcast, super excited to listen. Little did I realise just how much Lianne’s story resonated with me. It made me feel so much less alone. Fantastic advise from both of them during the podcast too. Looking forward to hearing more episodes!
