Work Family Me - Conversations with Maude

A conversation about business, babies and burnout in France

Maude Burger-Smith Episode 11

When we are in the day to day it feels hard to raise our heads and look at the big picture. We're IN the school drop offs, the rushing to get on a call, the pressure of the project. One of the things that I found so valuable about this conversation with Fiona Moguenot is her perspective of looking back on working and parenting from the vantage point of adult children and grandchildren.


Fiona is a UK national who has lived and worked in France for decades. She has raised four children, built businesses and expertise in marketing, tax, and international HR, spoken on industry panels and mucked out stables. I am so grateful to her for sharing her behind the scenes. Listen to our conversation about work and parenting to hear us discuss: 


  • two anchors that make this amount of work possible 
  • different strategies for carving out quality time with children
  • blended families and managing money 
  • a regret and reminder about what NOT to drop in a busy life
  • how work can be the thing we use to avoid other stuff!
