Working Mumma · Why does "ambitious mother" feel like a contradiction? How to reclaim your ambition after kids, with Dr. Anne Welsh · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

I think it was so validating to hear.

I think that's so true.

And every family is different.

There's no single way to do it.

And as you said, it's whatever works for you.

So just finally, Anne, is there anything else, any hints, tips or amazing strategies?

I know you've got your book, but that you just want to share with listeners on ambition and motherhood, but also being able to navigate motherhood and also having a career.

Oh, amazing.

I love those two.

They're so cool.

So quality over quantity.

So if you're having those moments of guilt of thinking, I need to be spending more time with my kids because as you say, inverted commas should, don't say the word should, ban yourself from saying that.

But just remember back to this conversation and say, Anne said it's quality over quantity and

and just feeling those emotional cuts for both yourself and your kids.

And sometimes that can also be a physical hug, doing the basics.

Sometimes they actually don't need big extravagant gestures.

Sometimes they just want you maybe to kick a footy, play some Lego, play Barbies.

It doesn't actually have to be sometimes anything grand, does it?

yeah and then also i love that that last part of just looking after yourself and and it's actually okay this is the permission slip so if you you're needing an episode and and that to actually give you permission slip to look after yourself this is the one um and ann has given it to you the data backs it up which is great to hear so thank you so much ann

So where can people find out more about you, your book?
