One of the things I wanted to try wasContinue reading “Alignment”
The Raft Race.
When I decided to walk away from my career 5 years ago I thought it was going to be a temporary move. Five years on and I honestly have no idea if I will ever go back to it. I look around at the other mothers I know who have returned to their former rolesContinue reading “The Raft Race.”
