Welcome to this week’s episode of the Happy Mama Movement podcast.
This week’s guests are Sarah de Boer and Samantha Sutherland. Sarah is a Facilitator, Marketer, Matrescence Advocate, and mother of two, who co-founded Beyond the Break to address the barriers women face in the workplace and help organizations meet their gender equity goals. Samantha is a diversity and inclusion expert focusing on gender equity in Australia, aiming to create a world that works for working women and enables every woman to have a fulfilling and joyful career.
We talk about:
- Their personal experiences with burnout and how it reshaped their careers.
- The critical role of understanding matrescence in supporting working mothers.
- Practical strategies for balancing motherhood and a demanding career
- How organizations can better support mothers through comprehensive programs and systemic changes.
