Postcards From Midlife

Career success and a happy home life - by a mother of 10!

Busting the “have it all” myth, Lorraine and Trish discuss the realities of building a successful career or business while bringing up a family with the straight-talking entrepreneur, C-suite consultant and mother of 10 (yes, 10) children, Danusia Malina-Derben. What are the qualities that make some women great mothers as well as great leaders, how do we ask for help and what might a menopause-friendly workplace look like? Lorraine and Trish discover the answers to these questions and more. Plus: getting messy teens to do their bit around the house, and what’s changed their lives this week. If you’d like to join the conversation, please send us your story via postcard to:  To get in touch, ask a question or share your midlife story, DM us @<a href="http://postcardsfrommidife.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">postcardsfrommidife.com</a>, join our Facebook Group, or email us <a href="mailto:hello@postcardsfrommidlife.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hello@postcardsfrommidlife.com</a> Disclaimer: all advice in this podcast is based on your own experiences.
