MOMENT | Motherhood Isn’t the End of Your Career — It Might Be the Beginning

If you’ve ever felt the pull to do something different with your career and then immediately talked yourself out of it with it’s too risky, I need a safe job, or this isn’t the season – this short episode is for you.

In this powerful Motherkind Moment, from Zoe’s conversation with Debbie Wosskow OBE, they talk honestly about risk, motherhood, and why so many women feel stuck at the edge of change. Debbie shares the reality of building a business with young children, why most women start later than we think, and a simple, compassionate way to meet fear and self-doubt without letting them stop you – reminding us that you don’t need certainty to begin.

In this Moment, you’ll hear:

• Why feeling scared is a natural part of change – not a sign you’re doing it wrong
• How motherhood reshapes your relationship with risk and can actually strengthen your confidence
• A simple mindset shift to manage fear and start before you feel ready

If you’re in the early stages of motherhood and quietly wondering whether there might be another way of working for you, this is your reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not failing, and you don’t need to have it all figured out.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the first small step.
