Amy Pearson on finding something you love outside of being a parent, empowering mothers to thrive in business, and how she built Sun Mother Studio

An hour in conversation with Amy Pearson feels a lot like a session with a business coach, which comes as no surprise given she splits her professional time between brand design, education, and mentoring. She's incredibly knowledgable when it comes to her work, but more than that, she's generous and honest when it comes to making work, work alongside parenting.She's a mother of two, She's the founder of Sun Mother Studio and Birth My Business and she's deeply passionate about helping mothers make money while finding purpose in their work.Here, she talks us through the pivots that have led to the thriving, meaningful career she has today, her experience with postnatal anxiety and depression, the struggle that is navigating pregnancy alongside motherhood and career, and the importance of finding something outside of being a mother, even if just for an hour or two.And just a head's up, Amy briefly touches on her father's prostate cancer diagnosis in this episode too.-------THIS WEEK'S SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Our Pilates, an online platform with over 150 physio-led Pilates classes.
