this family life

In this episode I interview a long term reader of the blog, Mia. Mia is a Melbourne based mum of two who works part time. Recently Mia made a planned decision to leave her fast paced job at a digital agency to take some time off and find a new job that allowed her more time for her family and her creative passions.

Mia has a great energy and has lots to share from her experiences, some highlights of the wisdom you will pick up:

  • Tips on redesigning your life
  • Tips on how to fit your personal creative pursuits into your day
  • Tips on returning to work part time
  • Working on friction points in the family
  • Encouraging creativity in kids
