They were babies yesterday.

And yet this September our boys are both heading into Year One. Which means the baby years, the toddler years, the defining early childhood years that felt simultaneously endless and impossibly fast — are behind us.

In this episode Alex and I sit with that for a moment.

We also talk about where we both are with work right now — and how our ambition has quietly shifted.

We both want careers that are aligned with the kind of mothers we actually want to be.

And then there is the summer. Six weeks and endless juggle. The very real need to stay present with our children while not letting everything we have built quietly unravel.

In this episode:
→ How fast the early years go — and what it feels like to look back at the babies they were
→ Why ambition looks different now and why that is not a bad thing
→ How we are both trying to align our careers with the mothers we want to be
→ The summer holiday juggle — presence, work and how we are planning to hold both

For the mother who blinked and suddenly has a school aged child.
