Mum Talks is coming to Junction 6 in Castleknock! Come along to our mama meet up with Water Babies and feel inspired, learn something new and make new friends. Babies are welcome too! Tea, coffee and delicious nibbles will be available throughout the morning. You will also get to meet loads of amazing mums, bonus!

Mum Talks believe strongly that being a mum should not stop you reaching your career goals or enjoying your life passions, both of which are vital for self-care but can sometimes feel forgotten about or may need to be re-evaluated when you have children.

Mum Talks aim is to give you confidence and empower you as you get ready to return to work after maternity leave; or are thinking of starting your own business; or are adapting to life as a stay at home mum.

We are delighted to be invited by Water Babies to host a special event in Junction 6 and we have a super line up of inspiring speakers!
