A chat about how much we love our book club (still going strong after 15 years) and how the latest book choice has inspired us.

Shonda Rhymes, 'My Year of Yes' - got us reflecting on what rule we would set ourselves that would have the biggest impact on how our business lives look now compared to pre motherhood and adult responsibilities.

We're back!
We never really left. But life happened. As life does.
School admin, decisions, assessments and practicalities of life meant that this podcast needed to be paused.

Ellie and Louise chat about how overwhelm requires them to get clear on their priorities and how they know what to cut out and how to put down their cards following a period of retreat.

If you know that feeling of feeling a little bored by family life - uninspired by the humdrum and routines that dictate your life - then this episode is a good listen.

We are half way through the summer holiday and Ellie and Louise have a midway check-in to reflect on their summer managing motherhood, work and personal ambitions.

We learn that:

• structure can be a life saver
• Acceptance can be key to peace of mind
• Slower pace leads to more connection
• Boundaries are KEY
