A panel discussion that follows one honest, connected journey — from who you were before becoming a mother, through the moment you realised you'd put yourself completely last, to dismantling the myth of "bouncing back" and what finding a new balance actually looks like in practice.
-
Balancing work and parenthood leaves very little time to spare.
This session brings together a small group of working mothers for focused conversation, connection and shared experience.
The event is built around structured networking, supported by V&Me through food and practical elements designed to make daily life easier - from weaning through to toddler meals and family options.
Our founder swore by V&Me through weaning, and it quickly became a staple for busy days.
