A podcast for working carers, with an emphasis on parent carers, entrepreneurship, career transitions, flexible working and well-being.
The Carer Mums in Business Podcast is hosted by Claire O'Hanlon, herself a self-employed mother of 2 young boys: one with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia and one with DCD/ Dyspraxia. When Claire's support system collapsed in 2018 following the unexpected passing of her Mum, Claire had no choice but to leave work. Faced with having to live on benefits of start her own business, Claire went with the second options and is dedicated to helping other Mums do the same.
Claire is an experienced enterprise consultant, business advisor and NLP mindset coach who has been providing business, leadership and communication coaching & training for almost 20 years. She has recently pivoted her business to align more fully with her personal life.

How to Make Your Business Fit Your Life
In this episode I share a simple, yet effective process for laying the foundations that will support you to create a business that works around your life.
It's easy to jump straight into the 'business' side of starting or growing a business, but as a parent-carer to a child with additional or complex needs, you run the risk of creating something that just doesn't work for you and your family.
It's so important to get clear on some stuff first. things like your non-negotiables, the values that really lie behind why you're starting a business and the goals that you're working towards.
You might want to grab a notebook and pen later because I'll ask you some questions to help you get the ball rolling in terms of packaging your idea into something that works for you and your family.
If, after listening, you'd like some 1-2-1 support to thrash out your idea, you can email claire@carersatwork.com to book a soundboard session for just £60
