👩🏼💼 Today we want to celebrate and recognise working mums. This week has reminded us of the challenges working mums face and the resilience they have to show to manage both life and work, with the majority of people in the UAE working from home and children learning from home. However, even in a “normal” week, working mums have a balancing act on their hands. We want to acknowledge just how tough this can be, getting the balance between work and family right. How do we ensure that we succeed in our careers whilst being there for our kids, our families and juggling the million things that fall under home life.
👩🏻🏫 We are working with a strong group of women to try to build a support network for women across the UAE, but also with a particular focus on supporting working mums. That may be through coaching services, counselling, networking events, conferences or professional support. As a team of working mums, we see the real-life highs and lows and want to support as many working mums as possible to enjoy both work and home life.
👩🏼🔬 It is incredibly important to be present and be there for your children; however, also understand that is not always possible with certain jobs and responsibilities. Missing a concert or event at school can be so difficult for a mum and we just urge you not to be too hard on yourself. We are only human after all and cannot do everything. We have seen some amazing kindness across the UAE this week, just remember to be kind to yourself.
