What happens to ambition when motherhood and partnership collide in law?
In this episode of the If You Ask Me podcast, hosts Hannah Bradshaw and Sarah Lyons, two former employment lawyers turned coaches, speak to WS partner Rebecca Jason about how motherhood reshaped her confidence, judgement and approach to what mattered most in her career. Their discussion explores how ambition, progression and sustainability can coexist over the long term, even when career paths do not follow an expected or linear route.
Rebecca shares how a partnership opportunity first arose while she was on maternity leave, how that possibility took shape over time, and what it was like stepping into her first partner role while adjusting to life with two young children.
