This week on Leaders With Babies we're sharing something a little different - a recent panel discussion on motherhood, work, and identity.

Lisa Ford, a Strategic Enablement Director of Nielsen, Jackie Mulryne, a partner at the law firm Arnold & Porter, and Toria Reid, an A&E Consultant at a busy Edinburgh hospital, are all Leaders Plus Fellows.

In this honest discussion, they share openly their personal experiences of squaring their identity as women who are passionate about their work and their new roles as mothers, and the impact this has had on their identity. Including, how they have tackled guilt and how they have adapted to change since becoming parents.

All 3 have very different experiences but the conversation is hopefully both thought-provoking and enlightening. Enjoy this week's episode.
