Cristina Loaiza talks to Fertility Coach Jennifer Elworthy on the challenges that women face when building a career while also navigating fertility issues.


Jennifer Elworthy has over 20 years’ experience in marketing, working on some of the UK’s most well-known media brands from the BBC, ITV & News UK. 


In 2015 she experienced recurrent miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, leaving her confidence at work at rock bottom. 


During this time, she went through intensive IVF treatment, so has first-hand experience of the juggle involved.


After qualifying as a coach in 2020, she now partners with ambitious, go-getting women to navigate the challenges of balancing career goals with fertility treatment.

We speak to Camilla Craven about her journey from employed to self-employed, exploring the challenge of going from the comfort of being on payroll to having to fend for yourself. Are the huge benefits such as working in alignment with your strengths & values, as well as achieving more autonomy and flexibility in your work, worth it?

In this episode we hear from the incredible Maria McDowell speaking to FUTURES Co-Founder Gina Hood about the benefits of mentoring, and how Maria has utilised this to support and empower underrepresented voices - particularly Black women - in advertising and marketing.

In times of uncertainty or inertia, setting small, attainable goals can be a powerful way to remind ourselves what we can do, boost our confidence and spark creativity. What can we learn from the world of sports that can help us all progress in our careers.
