What happens when you realise you've been climbing someone else's ladder for 15 years?

Kate walked away from her Chanel executive role to build something entirely her own. Now recognised in Small Biz 100's most inspiring businesses for 2025, she reveals the messy truth about reconstructing your career identity after motherhood.

This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about "having it all."

What we're unpacking:

• The brutal moment you realise you're living someone else's definition of success
• Why limited time becomes your greatest clarity tool (not your biggest problem)
• The Ikigai framework that gave her clarity: What you're good at + what the world actually needs
• Why she looks at life 20-30 years down the line to make decisions in the present

• The negotiation paradox: Why we advocate fiercely for others but whisper our own needs
• How motherhood doesn't diminish your leadership - it reveals who you really are
• The price you pay to rewrite success (and why it's worth every penny)

This isn't feel-good career advice. This is about the identity reconstruction that happens when motherhood refuses to be compartmentalised.

About making peace with integration over balance.

About the courage it takes to stop following scripts and start writing your own.

For every woman who's ever felt pulled between who she was and who she's becoming - this one's for you.
