    Breaking the 9–5 Trap: How Flexible Work Reduces Mum Guilt - with Amy Grilli

    What if your career could fit within school hours instead of forcing you to choose between work and family? In this conversation, I’m joined by Amy Grilli, co-founder of The Five Hour Club, a platform that connects parents with meaningful professional roles that fit between the school run. Amy shares how her own identity crisis at the school gates led her to create a community and job board that’s now helping thousands of parents globally. We explore: Amy’s story of stepping away from her teaching career, the loss of identity she felt, and how a viral LinkedIn post (40 million views in 14 days!) kick-started a movement.Why traditional 9–5 work doesn’t fit with family life—and the systemic issues behind it.The link between rigid working structures and maternal guilt.How flexible five-hour workdays help parents reclaim their confidence, purpose, and reduce guilt.The importance of boundaries: carving out work time without letting “fake flexibility” spill over.Sharing the mental load at home and tackling “maternal gatekeeping.”What employers can do differently—and why progressive organisations are already seeing the benefits.This is a hopeful episode for any mother who feels stuck between wanting to work and being the default parent. Amy’s story proves you’re not alone—and that change is possible.
