The SEN Mums’ Career Club
There is no shortage of content for women balancing parenting with a career. Ditto for those caring for a child with a disability. But what about the women doing both? The SEN Mums’ Career Club is a place for women raising children with complex and additional needs to find support and inspiration from fellow mums who are also endlessly juggling hospital appointments, DLA forms and EHCP reviews with climbing the career ladder. Every week, journalist and SEN mum Leisa Millar speaks to women in fascinating and diverse roles – from medicine to law, PR to business – to find out how they make work work for them in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Episodes
For this Christmas special, host Leisa Millar sits down with Lauren Fenton and Rina Teslica - hosts of the 'Fucking Normal' podcast - for a celebratory and sweary chat through taking extended time out of the workforce, rebuilding your confidence after trauma and reassessing your priorities when it comes to both career and life.
In the final episode of the series, host Leisa Millar is joined by educator, speaker and author Charlie Beswick for an emotional conversation about what success and achievement really mean, plus how brothers and sisters fit into the SEN family picture.
