Before you become &ldquo;Mum&rdquo; or &ldquo;Dad,&rdquo; you're just you&mdash;with a first name, a spontaneous social life, and the freedom to pursue your career ambitions with no limits, even if that means sometimes working 20-hour days. That was the life of today's guest, Bec Bignell, before she became a parent. Bec pushed herself to give 100% to both her career and her role as a parent, but eventually, the strain took its toll. Forced to pause, she reflected on the moments that truly brought her happiness and began to seek fulfilment on her own terms. <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/effects-of-being-a-working-mother/">Read Bec's full Little Love Story here.&nbsp;</a> Listen to more "This Glorious Mess" <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/this-glorious-mess/">HERE</a> THE END BITS&nbsp; <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribe/?utm_source=shownotes&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=tgm">Subscribe to Mamamia</a> We&rsquo;ve compiled all the best resources for new mums in a free newsletter. <a href="https://mailchi.mp/mamamia/babybrain">Join the mailing list.</a> CREDITS: Host & Producer: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gracelaceface/">Grace Rouvray</a> Guest: <a href="https://www.homespunseries.com.au/">Bec Bignell</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/annawamagram/"></a> Audio Producer: Leah Porges Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
