"An essential tool for working mothers to help navigate this season of life so that we can be the best mother, wife and employee possible" - Ailbhe Tyndall, verified review

Being a working parent is relentless, exhausting & overwhelming.

There's so much about being a working mother that no-one tells you... or a guidebook on how to do it

  • How do you juggle work when your little one (LO) is sick?

  • How do you cope with a busy day of work when you've been up with your LO all night?

  • How do you stop feeling so tired all of time?

  • How do you set boundaries when you're a people pleaser?

  • How do you find time for you in your hectic schedule?

  • How can you stop feeling Mum guilt, or imposter syndrome that's holding you back?

I was clueless about setting boundaries & my confidence was low when I returned to work in 2019

Every day was exhausted. I like felt I was on a merry-go-round of busy work days, cleaning up peas smeared into the floor and flopping exhausted onto the sofa at night. Then I'd be up with George multiple times in the night. He never slept through...I also had terrible Mum guilt, every day when I dropped him at nursery, I would have to pull myself together on the train to work. It was a constant juggling act and I wanted to be doing my job that I loved and was such a big part of my identity, but I also wanted to be with my son. I didn't expect to feel so torn between George and my work. After my boss calling me to work on my day off, something had to change.

It's never been so hard to be a working parent, plus we work for 30yrs after having kids

Childcare costs are soaring, work is demanding & we no longer have a village

For the first time since the 1970s, women are leaving the workforce due to childcare costs and lack of flexibility. Systems and structures are failing us. We carry the burden of unpaid labor, workplace demands are higher than ever before and compare ourselves to unrealistic images on social media. We are spending more time with our children than non-working mothers in 1975. Plus, we have our own internal barriers, like a lack of confidence or ability to set boundaries. My mission is to help women overcome the internal and external barriers. I am proof (as are my clients) that it is possible to do it.

My toolkit will give you practical tips and tools to balance family, work and you

I created my own toolkit to help me to balance my work and family (with time for me to get to a gym class every week) and started to share it. Today I enable women to balance motherhood and their busy jobs so that they can thrive and have flexibility, even without family support or spare time. I can't wait to help you too. On average, we are working for 30 years after we have children and right now in the UK 3 in 4 mothers work. So why not do something just for you?

Course feedback

Sinead Gallagher, Business Dev't, Brodies

My confidence had hit an all-time low and my plan to "go back to work with a bang" felt hampered with the maternal loss of identity and coming back remotely. I found Olivia's course and it was just the injection I needed.

Palmera McGuire

I would really recommend Olivia's programme to any woman who wants to succeed in her career; have more work/life balance. You taught me so much that I continue to use and I'm still gaining from it.

Sam Lewis, Lawyer, Amazon

The course has made me feel confident, positive and prepared. I returned to my role in a company that expects us to be at our best...I found it so useful that I decided to work with Olivia 1:1 as I know it will lead to bigger and better opportunities and being the calm Mum I want to be.

Course feedback

Dominique Lim, Finance

Olivia's course helped me to focus on my priorities, acknowledge my boundaries, and start implementing better productivity practices in order to make the best use of my time. It's been two months since I completed the programme and I've found that the happiness and joy that come with being able to spend more time making memories with my baby and husband have spilled over into my work, helping me be more focussed and productive as a result.

Lisa Goddard, Project Manager

I was struggling to juggle everything and be the best version of myself in either of my roles (Mum and professional!). Completing this course helped me to realise that I could do both and helped me find ways to do them better. Olivia is so friendly and personable. I highly recommend it.

Alana Barry, Senior Marketing Manager

Course Feedback

Tina, Head of Finance at charity

In recent months, I have felt quite apprehensive about returning to work. I felt as if I had lost a bit of my confidence and was worried about leaving my twins in full time childcare. I had thought about the logistics - but not the mental, emotional and physical preparation. After working with Olivia and completing the course, I now feel more prepared and I’m actually looking forward to returning to work.

Alexandra Brand, Lawyer

I completed this course and it was fantastic. I was on maternity leave with my 2nd child and felt like I forgot how to be this chic and professional looking woman. Fast forward to finding the Woman's Vault and now I feel so much more empowered and excited to go back to work as well as being a professional working mum. Thank you to Olivia for creating this program and being so hands on. I recommend this program to any person returning to work following maternity leave or extended leave.

We work for 30 yrs after having our first child
