When a working woman becomes a mother, she faces what can seem like an impossible dilemma: how can she continue to excel at work AND be a good mum? In the light of childcare costs, does it even make sense for many women to continue to work at all?
Workplaces need women. And most women want to work – not just for financial security but for personal fulfilment and because their work can often be a key part of their identity.
Working Mother offers simple, practical tools for each stage of this complex but rewarding life change, allowing you to become the coach you need by your side every step of the way.

About rachel
Rachel Morris is a professional accredited business coach with nearly 20 years of coaching experience working with a wide range of professionals.
Over the last 10 years, she has focused on how coaching impacts the parental transition, working with hundreds of working parents as they juggle the arrival of a child, and the looming prospect of these two worlds – work and family – colliding.
Rachel is also a working mother of two young children just over a year apart, returning to work when her firstborn was 6 weeks old. She has hard-earned personal experience of the transition working mothers experience, too.
Workplaces want to retain women, and many women want to work AND have children. Too often both workplaces and women lose out as the juggle proves too hard. Rachel is committed to supporting and empowering this ‘lost population’ – women who have spent years focusing on their profession before having a family and who still want to have a career after having one – through every aspect of her work.
