Summary

Can we really have it all?

Laura Jackson is a founder, a TV presenter, a side hustler and a mother of three. So today's episode is all about balance, the 'working mother paradox', and finding joy in the chaos. Laura was also so open about her tough experience with ante-natal depression, I can't thank her enough for being so raw and honest.

If you've got a non-linear career that's taken you lots of places, or you always feel like you're spinning 100 plates, this episode is for you.

I really hope you enjoy watching!

0:20.8	Oh, how old is he?
0:21.6	I'm like, oh, that's cute. Okay, so let's get into it. It's a myth that you can have it all.
0:26.6	I just don't think you can have it all all of the time. You don't always do the school run, but then you feel guilty that you're not doing the school run and they finish school in the middle of the day. We expect women to be at home as if they don't have a job and expect people to be at their job as if they don't have children.

1:28.4	which had a Christmas pop-up in Selfridges. Laura is the ultimate plate juggler, and that's without
1:33.9	adding her three kids and a recent funding round into the equation. I'm such a fan of the business

1:45.2	not just with the realities of being a founder, but also with being a founder and being a
