When a relationship ends, it’s not just the romantic partnership that dissolves - it’s the version of the life you imagined. For working mums, that loss can feel even heavier. You’re juggling career responsibilities, managing the daily needs of your children, and trying to make sense of an entirely new identity.
In this honest and practical conversation I chat with family lawyer, author, and co-parent Gabriella Pomare to talk about how working mums can navigate separation, divorce, and co-parenting with grace and clarity. Gabriella shares her personal story of rebuilding life after separation, whilst raising her son, managing a demanding career as a partner in a law firm, and finding a new identity.

We discuss:

The emotional reality of separation and identity loss
How to communicate with your ex without escalating conflict
Setting boundaries that protect your peace (and your children)
Strategies for reducing the mental load when co-parenting
The power of modeling respect and stability for your kids
When to seek professional help — and why mediation can work better than court
