Building a service-based business while raising young children requires constant adjustment often without clear rules.
In this episode, chartered financial planner and founder Olivia Shipstone shares her journey of starting her firm at 24, navigating pregnancy through covid, working through maternity by choice, and building a family business with her husband.
She speaks honestly about flexibility at work, parenting roles, the mental load of being the default parent, and the resentment that can quietly build alongside it.
This conversation is for women who love their work, love their children, and are holding both at the same time.
