The Working Mother Experience

It's The Working Mother Experience podcast. Weekly, we will alternate between interviewing the artists (it could be you) and discussing hot topics related to working and mothering. We promise, it will lift your spirits, make you laugh and think, and deeply connect you to your experience and the experience of other working mothers. The Working Mother Experience inspires ambitious women to honestly and creatively share what it means to work and mother. Our goal is to collect and compile 250 pieces of individual art, painted by working mothers around the globe, to showcase the richness and diversity of what it means to mother and work.

Episode #57: Finding part-time work in a full-time country, a conversation with Nathalie Rasmussen, Sustainability Lead, Lawyer, Mother & Artist

June 16, 2025 • Working Mother Experience

In this episode we meet Nathalie Rasmussen, a woman who wears many hats - sustainability expert, lecturer, lawyer, mother and artist.

We were honoured to have Nathalie as our guest speaker at our first international Vernissage in Copenhagen, Denmark. She spoke about her journey finding part-time work in a full-time country; working and mothering is less a question and more an expectation in Denmark (and they have the systemic support to make it happen).

On the podcast, Nathalie expands on her experience, sharing that while difficult to make part-time palatable, she thankfully found an employer willing to try a different model. From what we can tell, Nathalie has always been a strong advocate for what she believes in and this arrangement is no different - it enables Nathalie to balance home and work the way she wants to.

She shares about the sacredness of those early days, how you are one heart with that little being, so small, precious and perfect. It was a beautiful discussion about a truly transformative period of her life (and the lives of all mothers, we have no doubt).

I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did - thank you, Nathalie, for all you have done to help WME move international.
