Becoming a mother has a way of reshaping not just your day-to-day life, but your sense of direction and possibility. In my conversation with Amelie Hemberger, we talk about what it really looks like to hold onto ambition while stepping into this new chapter. She shares how her identity evolved after having children, and how she learned to honor both her role as a mother and her desire to keep building something of her own. Amelie opens up about the internal and external pressures to “choose” between family and career, and how she decided to carve out a path that feels aligned instead. Through creating Lumira, a platform designed to bring mothers together in honest and meaningful ways, she’s building the kind of community she once needed. This conversation is about trusting yourself, embracing reinvention, and giving yourself permission to grow in more than one direction at once. Key Takeaways You don’t have to follow a traditional path to create a fulfilling balance between work and familyBuilding something meaningful often comes from recognizing what’s missing in your own experienceGrowth in motherhood can expand your vision rather than limit itAlignment matters more than external validation when making life and career decisions About the Guest: Amelie Hemberger is a mother of two, event expert, and the founder of Luamira, a live virtual platform that helps women, especially mothers, reconnect with themselves through meaningful evening experiences. Alongside building Luamira, she continues to work in marketing and communication, bringing her experience from both corporate and entrepreneurial worlds into everything she creates. After more than 15 years of designing events around the world, from Buenos Aires to Kyoto, and now living between Germany and France, her life shifted into a very different rhythm. Evenings became quieter, often spent at home after long days with her children. While she deeply values motherhood, she also felt something many women experience but rarely put into words. The longing for inspiration, for real conversations, and for a sense of self beyond everyday roles. Luamira was born from that moment. A simple question. What if evenings at home could become something more again. Today, Amelie creates live, intimate spaces where women can pause, reflect, exchange, and rediscover parts of themselves that often get lost in the busyness of daily life. No pressure, no performance, just real moments of connection from their own living rooms. Her work is rooted in the belief that mothers don’t need more to consume, but spaces where they can feel present, inspired, and seen. With her global experience and her own journey into motherhood, she is quietly reshaping what evenings can look and feel like. www.luamira.com About The Host: Dr. Christelle Oliver-Dussault is a family physician with a clinical focus on aesthetic medicine, women’s health, and psycho-education. Her work is grounded in a holistic, whole-person approach that integrates medical science with a deep appreciation of the mind–body connection. Alongside her clinical practice, she is deeply committed to medical education and mentors the next generation of family physicians through her work with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of British Columbia. She is the founder of Reclaim The Pink Within, a community created to support women through life’s most profound transitions. This project was born from personal experience. After becoming a mother, Dr. Oliver-Dussault became aware of a quiet but profound shift in her sense of self, one she had long observed in her patients, yet only fully understood once she lived it herself. What had once been a clinical observation became a deeply personal insight, shaping the lens through which she now supports and guides other women.
