🎶 “It’s Friday, I’m in love” 🎶 As The Cure beautifully sings, there’s something special about Fridays. Today, I’m reflecting on the delicate dance of balancing work and family, a melody many of us know all too well. In the symphony of life, self-care harmonises with the responsibilities of parenthood and professional endeavours. While essential, it’s also a tune often drowned out by the pressures of juggling multiple roles. Let’s face it, the rhythm isn’t always easy. As a parent, especially as a mother, the tempo can feel relentless. Despite strides, equality between genders still lacks the resonance it deserves. The fight for justice, epitomised by campaigns like WASPI, echoes the need for systemic change. Yet, amidst the challenges, there’s a crescendo of hope. Every voice raised, every hand extended in solidarity, brings us closer to a more equitable future. It’s through collective collaboration that we compose the score of progress. Charities and businesses, working hand in hand, create a powerful harmony, delivering greater social change. Together, let’s not just listen to the melody; let’s amplify it. Because it’s only by working in harmony that we can truly effect change. #WorkLifeBalance #Equality #WASPI #Injustice #CollectiveAction #ChangeAgents #Charity #BusinessCollaboration Pic: me having a pinch me moment meeting our First Minister
