The Secret to Having It All (Without Doing It All)

In this episode of the Work it Like a Mum Podcast, we’re sharing the seventh session from Smash 26, our two-day virtual event designed to help women start the year with confidence, clarity and momentum in their careers.

Hosted by leadership coach Gifty Enright, this honest and energising conversation brings together a group of incredible women navigating careers, motherhood, identity shifts, and everything in between. From redundancy to reinvention, burnout to boundaries, this is the real, unfiltered conversation so many women need to hear.

Expect relatable stories, practical insights, and those “me too” moments that remind you you’re not alone.

What We Cover:

  • The reality of “having it all” (and why it’s not perfect)
  • Boundaries, burnout & redefining success
  • Career pivots, confidence & starting before you’re ready
  • Balancing work, motherhood & real life

Key Takeaways:

  • You don’t have to do everything to have everything
  • Success looks different for everyone
  • Start before you feel ready
  • Boundaries are essential (and ongoing)
  • You matter too
  • Messy seasons are normal

Why Listen:

If you’ve ever felt stretched, overwhelmed, or like you’re “failing” at balance — this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

It’s honest, relatable, and packed with real-life strategies from women who are living it — not pretending it’s perfect.
