Rediscovering Connection with Shelley Doyle

As a parent juggling a career and family life, I was delighted to reconnect with my former colleague Emma Padden, the founder of PR Mums.
Emma and I swap PR agency stories, some so absurd they defy belief, underscoring the urgency for a shift towards valuing mental health and sustainable work practices. Listen as we craft the future of work through laughter and shared experiences.
Wrapping up, we unpack the enigma of nurturing company culture in a world where home offices are the new boardrooms.
Our heartfelt conversation reveals the trials and triumphs of women returning to public relations post-maternity leave. PR Mums, stands as a beacon for empowerment, offering recruitment, training, psychological support, and policy development that's reshaping the professional landscape for women.
So, plug in your earbuds and join us for a candid exploration of these pressing topics, with insights that promise to resonate with anyone striving to balance the scales of work and home life.
About PR Mums
PR Mums is business founded to support women, mums and parents in the PR & Comms industry. As a female dominated industry PR & Comms has a significant gender pay gap. Why? There are many reasons, but we know not enough women aren’t staying in the industry to reach senior and leadership positions, with childcare being a significant contributor. Our purpose is to help women in the workplace, and drive change that better supports women being at work and achieving their goals.
