A conversation about guilt and balance as a MD and mother in Dubai
In this episode of Work Family Me, I chat with Marie.
Marie O’Neill is an Irish woman in her early 40s living in Dubai. She is the co-owner and Managing Director of EER, one of the Middle East’s leading relocation, immigration, and corporate services companies, a wife, and a mother to two children (one a very newborn baby).
She loves her company, gets to the gym, and speaks on panels and boards around the world.
How does she fit that into a life? Let's ask her.
We discuss:
seasons of finding balance
delegation and accountability
societal pressures around working mothers
concrete tools you can use when guilt is showing up in your life
the challenges that go along with utilizing support with your kids
the value in allowing time for your mental health and wellbeing

I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Marie. Marie is a great example of permission for support, permission to ENJOY work and of prioritising quality vs. quantity when it comes to how you spend your time.
