Professional women with families have become world class circus performers – skilled in the art of juggling more than a hundred things at once. They are constantly battling mummy guilt, struggling with the mental load, searching for the elusive “work/life balance”, and feel like a fraud when asked “How do you do it all?” For all that – they wouldn’t have it any other way. The fear of dropping a ball every now and then is worth it for the joys of the juggle.

Join Jo Alilovic, employment lawyer, business owner, employer of flexible workers, mother of 3 and her co-host Lucy Dickens, senior associate and mother of two, and their guests as they share insights and advice from everyday jugglers, employers and thought leaders to help professional women have a satisfying career and a fulfilling family life.

2019 reflections – getting real! (ep 98)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! In this first episode for 2020, we take the opportunity to reflect not only on 2019 but also on the past decade.

2019 was our second year of podcasting as ‘The Juggle’, it was the year where we hit the 50th episode and to us it’s been a privilege to see how the Juggle Community is growing.

In this episode we both share our reflections on our personal and professional lives. We don’t just share the highlights. Although they were many – Lucy welcoming baby Harry and starting a business baby, Jo expanding her business and being named runner up of business person of the year in her local business awards – there were also many down times. As always on The Juggle, we like to keep it real. Managing the juggle is not all smooth sailing and so we take our own advice and share some of the hard stuff including family deaths and relationship trouble.

A new year is also time for planning the future. We share our ideas for that including having a word of the year. Jo’s is “JOY”.

We also talk about our plans for this podcast and our related business, including:

* To finish our book and publish it.* Changing the podcasting format from weekly to fortnightly after our 100th episode.* Offering more inhouse and conference workshops* Offering 1:1 coaching services

If you are looking for more guidance on setting up your goals and plans for 2020 take a listen to episode 47 where we talked about goal setting.
