GUILT
A 6 part program to help you
Manage ‘the juggle’ with Less Guilt & More Confidence
Are you a working mother feeling overwhelmed by the impossible demands of balancing career and family? Do you struggle with guilt, societal expectations, and the elusive search for balance?
There is a reason why…
It’s called the Care Career Conundrum
While we can’t completely resolve this conundrum without broader social change, we CAN gain strategies to navigate it, ease the mental load, and reduce feelings of guilt.
The care career conundrum is a sociological model to explain how and why mothers are under so much pressure and have such a heavy mental load to carry when it comes to meeting the demands of a career and meeting the demands of being a mother.
This program is for you if:
You feel overwhelmed by the dual demands of career and family
You feel ‘mum guilt’ for not being able to ‘do it all’ and feel like you’re always compromising with your time and energy
You want to feel less pressure but don’t want to ‘lower your standards’
you want to prioritize your relationship with your child/ren while honouring your career
You want to step into your power as a mother and let go of guilt that you feel is holding you back

A complete program of 6 bite sized video trainings
A PDF copy of training slides to summarize key takeaways

Who is Sophie?
I have spent 10 years researching Motherhood and have a PhD in Sociology specialising in Motherhood Studies from The University of Sydney. In my research I developed what has been described as a ‘ground-breaking theory’ for understanding how Mothers’ lives are shaped by the social and cultural construct of Motherhood. I’m also a Mother myself.
I’ve been working on developing curriculum and programs for the last 11 years, starting out when I began teaching at The University of Sydney and supporting the development and teaching of undergraduate units of study in sociology. I taught and facilitated classes face to face for 5 years before moving into the world of online program development and teaching. I continue to publish in the space of maternal scholarship and be involved in research and consultation.
My most recent research project involved qualitative surveys gathering information from 580+ mothers from across 20+ countries, gathering stories and data on their experiences in planning their return to work, and their experiences of employment as mothers.
My passion and focus is in supporting those who work with mothers to develop, integrate, and adapt a sociological lens of Motherhood into their businesses, careers, and professions.
The ultimate purpose of my work is to contribute to changing the cultural conversation on Motherhood and the individual experiences of Mothers, creating a world where Mothers feel empowered, supported, and valued.
