Carpe Diem - with Georgie Harris

  • Resumen

  • With Mothering Sunday upon us, we’re talking about our mums today. We’re joined entrepreneur and mum of two, Georgie Harris who describes how she had a fantastic job at Burberry, but then her world changed when her son was born with a rare genetic condition, Russell Silver Syndrome which affects growth. After a harrowing pregnancy and birth, Georgie then discovered herself navigating the SEN system and becoming a primary carer, negotiating support for her child’s complex needs. After her second son was born in 2023, she started looking for jobs, but couldn’t find one, let alone one that could fit in with her life. Then, at a kids birthday party, she met Bex who suggested a skills swap and Mums Who Build was born. With a non-mumsy vibe, Georgie and Bex’s networking organisation has the aim of closing the wealth gap and reducing the impact of the motherhood penalty. The MOB (for short) helps Mums at all stages develop skills and confidence through workshops, events and meet-ups based on the three pillars of wellbeing, connections and financial education. With new found sense of purpose and having been on a healing journey through the connections she’s made at The Mob, Georgie says her ambition is to have Mums Who Build around the country. She says she wears her jewellery the whole time, including some personal bangles from her family and shows us her inspirational late grandmother’s engagement ring, who she describes as the glue of the family. She also shows us a dainty gold child protection charm from her husband’s Kurdish heritage. If anything has seen her through, Georgie says it’s not overthinking things and seizing the day.
