Stop apologising for your children!

Verity Brown is Group Managing Director, overseeing 4 media agencies for a marketing services group.
She’s mum to two children, now 7 and 4 (we recorded this a while ago) and quickly realised that she needed to create clear boundaries whilst also bringing her children into the picture to make it work. She’s an ambitious high-flyer who approached her return to work in a strategic and intentional way, rather as she would approach a pitch to a client.

As someone who is used to juggling multiple clients and a dynamic working environment, she thought she would step easily into managing the multiple channels of work and children and found it surprisingly challenging.

Honest, funny, reflective and bright – Verity brings a refreshing openness to her reflections on being a professional working mum and on motherhood in general. She also talks wisely about the role that work plays in making her a better mother.

Gina Mellotte is a voice-over artist who has, among her many accolades, been the voice of the BAFTAs! She is Mum to Frankie (9) and had the unusual experience of returning to work after 4 days. Gina doesn’t shy away from bringing her truth to this episode – she’s an inspiration to all women.
