Brutally honest and refreshingly real, this conversation with marketing expert Jenny strips away the facade of work-life balance to reveal what juggling a career and family actually looks like.
Bloody hell, this one's a proper eye-opener! As a mum of three kids (two autistic) with three rescue dogs and a thriving marketing career, Jenny's home is what she unashamedly describes as "an absolute madhouse" where few visitors dare return for a second time.
The raw glimpse into school holiday survival had us in stitches about midnight egg decorating panic sessions, the relentless barrage of "bring a pound" requests, and the inevitable communication cock-ups that leave meticulously crafted school projects abandoned behind curtains or forgotten entirely.
Jenny's brutally honest admission that "having it all is a load of bollocks, because something always has to give, usually my bloody sanity" slices through the typical parenting rubbish to offer something far more valuable permission to be a complete mess.
Beyond the parenting chaos, Jenny dishes out proper insights from her 20 years in marketing, chatting about how the field has transformed from traditional press releases to the social media circus and digital advertising. Her no-nonsense approach bangs on about authenticity and getting to the point, warning against "waffling on" in marketing communications and focusing instead on how businesses can actually help their audience without the corporate drivel. The similarities between straight-talking in marketing and no-bullshit parenting are dead obvious.
What comes through is a brilliant exploration of how one professional woman navigates the utter mayhem of family and career while hanging onto her sense of humour by her fingernails. Despite the chaos, Jenny scrapes together one-on-one time with each child during holidays, finding those precious moments of connection amid the absolute bedlam.
Whether you're a knackered parent trying to build a career or a professional hunting for marketing wisdom, this episode delivers both practical advice and the comforting reminder that we're all just winging it and that's perfectly alright, innit?
