Making Motherhood and Your Career Work For You, with Tobi Asare

Tobi Asare is a mum of two and founder of My Bump Pay, an online platform giving women the tools to smash the glass ceiling with a baby on the way and beyond. Tobi created the platform to help give women the confidence to achieve their career goals and take them through their career journey while overcoming the motherhood penalty.

1/ We discuss the challenges that mums face in returning to work, and the structural changes needed for parents to advance their careers.

2/ We know the cost of childcare is a huge barrier for women when it comes to returning to work, so Tobi gives tips on how to successfully raise the conversation about flexible working with your employer.

3/ Finally, we will break down how much it costs to have a baby, what you actually need to purchase when you’re expecting, as well as areas where you can cut back and save.
