    I am firmly in my Mumpreneur era, so season 2 is Career Season. Join me as I explore the collision between careers and motherhood. I'll be speaking to insightful guests, delving into practical tips and inspiring stories. All through the lens of Dubai expat life.

    I have wanted to make a comprehensive guide to your HR rights and Maternity Leave in the UAE since I started the podcast, but it was important that I found the right information. So I am beyond thrilled to announce today's guest Sarah Brooks, Founder of Fikrah HR. With over 20 years of experience in HR, Sarah was named one of the top 101 global HR minds in the hotel industry at the World HR Congress in 2019 and 2020.

    Sarah answers all of our burning questions when it comes to our HR rights around pregnancy, maternity and parental leave in Dubai and the UAE as a whole.

    When do I need to tell my employer I am pregnant in the UAE?Do HR laws change between mainland and freezone companies?Will UAE employers be notified by my health insurer?How to calculate maternity leave in the UAEHow many days paternity leave in the UAE?Is there any miscarriage leave in the UAE?Can I be made redundant whilst on maternity leave?What if my employer is not following the law?What happens if I am pregnant and unmarried in the UAE?

    ... and so much more

    The maternity leave article in MOHRE law is Number 30 for reference and the parental leave is defined under article 32 clause 1b.

    I am aware that solid, practical financial advice is hard to come by, so that's why I invited this weeks' guest Beth Clay, the Founder of Finance Her Well to join me on the podcast. You'll hear me dive straight into the practical advice of budgeting, the key principles she advises to save for whatever your financial goal may be, and specifically how to budget for starting a business. My favourite part of the episode is discussing Money Mindset, the psychology behind money, as well as how this impacts Beth's approach to money around her own children.

    I also mention Next of Kin's new Mum's Supporting Mum's multi-brand initiative. So if you are shopping for baby or children's clothing, accessories and gifts in the UAE please keep Next of Kin in mind. You'll be able to buy beautiful items whilst supporting other small, local, Mummy-owned brands. You can find out more information about the Mum's Supporting Mum's initiative here.

  • Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 2! I'm Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

    I am firmly in my Mumpreneur era, so season 2 is Career Season. Join me as I explore the collision between careers and motherhood. I'll be speaking to insightful guests, delving into practical tips and inspiring stories. All through the lens of Dubai expat life.

    On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Rachel Smylie the Founder of Mama Hub here in Dubai. I met Rachel at my very first Ripe Market for Next of Kin and we got chatting about how Mums here in Dubai could really do with everything being collated in one place. Well mere months later Rachel launched Mama Hub and we had a full circle moment, back at Ripe Market, when we collaborated on The Careers Club event.

    On this episode we talk about the inspiration behind Mama Hub and Rachel's own Motherhood experience, moving to Dubai 7 months pregnant, comparing the care to the more formalized approach that she had received in Australia, and the impossible juggle of putting the kids to bed when you are meant to be on work calls, and how that ultimately led her to quit corporate life and go it alone.

    The main reason that I asked Rachel to join me on the podcast is because I personally love Mama Hub! I take Bonnie to their FREE play dates most weeks and I eagerly anticipate the weekly roundup email. If you are a long-time listener, you'll know that last year I joked about how someone really needed to create a resource for freelance Mums in Dubai, and well, spoiler alert, it look's like Rachel has nailed it!

    On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Carina Harvey about all things identity, which is also the name of her wonderful podcast exploring how people who have been through huge life changes (like motherhood!) and how they were able to find themselves again afterwards.

    As this is the Career Season, there were 3 reasons why I was keen to chat to Carina, firstly, to understand how she works with people, drawing on her styling, life purpose coaching and NLP to get to the core of who they really are and to bring out their resilience and confidence. This helps people who are feeling lost and don't know what their next career step should be. Secondly, I wanted to hear about the work Carina is doing with various organisations to support Mums who want to return to work. And, lastly, I'm sure I will have some listeners interested in the idea of becoming a Life Coach, so I asked Carina about the skills needed to be one. We even touch on manifesting and how she uses it in her own life and when working with others.

    On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Emma, the Founder of My Little Barfi. An ex-teacher, turned stay-at-home-Mum, turned Brand Founder. Her unique brand includes beautiful South Asian inspired prints and designs. Emma created the brand when she noticed the lack of kid and parent-friendly clothing with the representation of South Asian cultures. We get chatting about the challenges with social stigmas around colourism that she faced, even when designing the clothing, in 2024 it really seems unbelievable some of the stories that she tells!

    We cover A LOT in this episode:

    Normalisation of colourism in the South Asian community and lack of representationEmma's loss of identity when becoming a MumA very real and honest chat about starting the brand including a lot of obstacles and self doubtWould Emma recommend this career path to other Mums?Emma's experience teaching in Dubai and how it influences her decision on schooling her own childrenTrolls and going viral on social media

    ... and so much more.

    On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Amanda Ashworth @dubaitravelmum who is an Entrepreneur, Coach and Podcaster all whilst home-schooling, or really I should say WORLD-schooling her 3 children.

    I was intrigued to ask Amanda...

    What is the difference between home-schooling and world-schooling, and why did she choose to go down this route?What are the pros and cons of home-schooling?The costs involved with travelling whilst homeschoolingHow to move past self-sabotage and negative self talkHow to build your own self belief

  • Welcome to episode 28, the season 1 finale of Next of Kin Parents Podcast!

    I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

    On today's episode, I am rounding off my first season of the podcast by bringing you up to date on my life right now and how I am re-prioritizing my life in 2024. I have broken my goals down into work, family, and self-care as I try to find the ultimate balance, not an easy task as a Mumpreneur, I know!

    I decided to go back to my roots for this episode by following the format of my early episodes, and today's segment will be on de-influencing 10 so-called newborn 'essentials'. My Mum-llema for the week is for you to let me know what you bought for your newborn, thinking it was essential, but it really wasn't. Check out my blog for more info.

  • Welcome to episode 27 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

    I am so pleased to have squeezed this chat with Anushka into my penultimate episode of season 1. Anushka is the Managing Director and Co-Founder of Derby Home Health and Nannies and More, but in her formed career she worked in Reproductive Health in crisis zones. But when Anushka welcomed her daughter to the world she decided to move back to Dubai to be closer to family, and this is when she set about using her background and values to set up Derby Home Health, and she quickly discovered the need for more support options for new parents so Nannies and More was created.

    I was intrigued to hear what Anushka's former career entailed and how she has handled leaving that role and moving back to Dubai. I also wanted to pick Anushka's brains about all things Nannies and how Nannies and More are doing things differently.

    I am so pleased to be joined on this episode by Dr Sandy Zanella who you probably already follow on Instagram @mymindfulmomlife.

  • Welcome to episode 21 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

    I am so pleased to be joined on this episode by Natalie Robinson, who has a number of photography-based businesses here in Dubai, including Wild Child which is where I met Natalie when she photographed my very first shoot for Next of Kin baby clothes!

    I asked Natalie to be on the show because she has an interesting background growing up between America, Belgium, Singapore and the UK so I wanted to find out how that influenced her as a parent to 3 children that she chose to raise in UAE. With a 10, 13 and 15 year old, she also gives me an insight into raising teenagers here and some good tips! As well as this, I was keen to understand her experience as a business owner, how she found her passion, and her reflections on 12 years in business.

  • Welcome to episode 19 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

    I am so pleased to be joined on this episode by Laura Barrett, a women health physiotherapist based at Genesis clinic in Dubai. Laura has nearly 20 years of experience specialising in postnatal women's health, she has been offering the Mummy MOT for the last 5 years. I went to see Laura myself for a Mummy MOT and feel like I need to tell you all about it, because I couldn't believe what a difference it made to my recovery.

    We'll be discussing:

    What is the Mummy MOT and is it for me?Do you still need one if you have a c-section?What aches and pains are normal during pregnancy and postpartum?Tips for posture when breastfeedingHow to reduce your risk of tearing during delivery

    And much more including Laura's motherhood experience as an expat who tried to move back to the UK but she's back, and staying firmly put!
