Welcome to Have It All, the podcast that says the quiet part out loud about motherhood, career, and the chaos in between. I’m Emily Parks. Mum of two, marketer, and someone who’s learned that doing it all often means doing too much. Every second week, I chat with women navigating the juggle of working motherhood. These are honest, messy, and uplifting conversations. Because having it all doesn’t mean doing it all. And you’re not meant to figure it out alone.

It's hard to get back what you've let go with Kate | self-employed digital director & mum of two

This episode is a special one! I’m sitting down with my friend Kate, who I met 10 years ago at uni, to talk about the reality of navigating career transitions, motherhood, and the ever-elusive work-life balance.

Kate opens up about how her perspective on work shifted after having her second child, and how she went from wanting to be the “career mum” to realising that some parts of her job just weren’t worth the time away. We talk about the constant juggle, the mental load, and the unexpected ways motherhood changes friendships and priorities.

Topics we cover:

The shift from agency life to self-employment & why Kate made the leap
Why rushing was her biggest challenge when working full-time
Why the time away from your kids has to feel worthwhile
How working motherhood can create a social divide: where do we fit in?
The hard truth: once you let go of personal time, it's tough to get back
