Working Mums (ePub)

'Working Mums: Stories by mums on how they manage children, work and life' is a collection of empowering stories that will make working mums everywhere laugh in sympathy and nod in recognition. The stories are from Australian mums doing a range of work in addition to raising their children, including working full-time, part-time or freelance, studying, or running their own businesses. The stories are different yet in many ways universal - not unlike the journey of parenting itself. The book's primary aim is to help working mums feel less alone in their challenges. In fact, as the stories show, sometimes it is those very challenges that lead to unexpectedly amazing opportunities for personal and professional growth. Contributors include: • Missy Higgins, singer-songwriter, musician, actor and activist • Alisa Camplin, former world champion aerial skier and Olympic gold medallist • George McEncroe, founder of Australia's first all-female rideshare service Shebah • Annie Nolan (Uncanny Annie), equality activist and social commentator • Chloe Chant, early childhood educator whose letter to a senator went viral • Kristy Vallely, founder of The Imperfect Mum online community • Simone McLaughlin, founder of Jobs Shared • Carly Naughton & Alee Fogarty, marriage equality advocates, blogger and tattoo artist and many more, from fields including health, academia, beauty, politics and small business.
