The Motherload Live Event #1

Motherhood. Career. Life. How do we make it all work? Some days we’re nailing it, and other days... well, let’s just say coffee and dry shampoo are doing some serious heavy lifting.

Join us for the first-ever Motherload Live Event, where we’ll have a real, honest conversation about what it’s actually like to be a mum who works - inside the home, outside the home, or anywhere in between. Hosted by IMAGE Editorial Director Dominique McMullan, this is a morning to drop the guilt, and just be with the women who get it. Taking place on Tuesday, April 8, at The Fernhouse Cafe, AVOCA Kilmacanogue.

Dominique will be joined by the brilliant Hannah Saunders - mum to Brody, fur-mum to Chip and founder of Hannah Saunders PR agency and Sarah Battle, mum to five children and a hugely successful digital creator. Two phenomenal women who are juggling careers, kids, and all the chaos that comes with both.

Together they’ll talk about:

• The power of the modern village, and why we need community more than ever
• Learning to let go of perfection and embrace good enough parenting
• Maternal mental health and when to seek help
• The little things that actually help when you’re drowning in to-dos
• How they really feel about ‘having it all’ (spoiler: it’s complicated)
• The importance of building a support system that actually works for you
• The societal structures that support mums... and the ones that don’t
• The changes they would love to see to make life easier for families of every shape and size

Whether you’re surviving, thriving or just in need of a day out, do come along. We would love to see you. Let’s lighten the load, together.
