“What am I doing with my life?” Rebecca Jarvie-Gibbs on redefining success

Rebecca Jarvie-Gibbs has learnt a lot about life; as a boss, a mum, and a daughter. She’s someone that worked hard to build a career for herself. That work led her to London and from The Rolling Stones to the Royal Wedding to the Olympics, it’s fair to say it was a heady time of big adventures and a fast pace. 

But, while her early career was characterised by being the first to her desk and the last to leave, she’s since been on a path of interrogating her relationship with success. This hard work eventually led to burnout, which collided with navigating pregnancy and the loss of her dad, and here, Rebecca tells us all about this time and what it’s taught her.

Here, we talk about how to find joy in work, what it felt like to send her son to childcare on what society would deem the early side of the scale, and the toxic societal narratives about where exactly a woman should be, and what it is that she should be doing.
