Today on the podcast we hear from the ever-inspiring Amanda Lapadat. Amanda and Morgan, the Working Mother Experience Founder, have known eachother for a long time, close to 23 years. Amanda and Morgan went to the same highschool in Guelph, ON; however, Morgan thinks she remembers Amanda a lot better than Amanda remembers her.

Amanda, now a Canadian expat residing in Sweden with her husband and two children, has taken on the role of International Director for The Working Mother Experience in addition to all the other amazing hats she wears. Recently appointed a lecturer at XX university, Amanda is also the owner of Splat Fabriken, a splatter studio pop-up in Malmo, Sweden, a international trade professional who is starting up a business with other professionals in her area to bring more international business to Sweden, she is never short of ideas or activities.

Interestingly, Amanda took a step back from the 9-5 working life just over a year ago and in doing so has allowed her creative spirit to shine. On the podcast she openly shares this journey and how it's benefited her in so many ways as a creative and mother.

We are so grateful to have Amanda on our team. Her passion, ideas, and energy are infectious and help our team to see things in new ways. We can't wait to see where Amanda takes The Working Mother Experience in Sweden and beyond.
