Read more about &ahead's Corporate Partner Make it Work Asia Podcast

Make It Work Asia Podcast is a new podcast featuring working mums navigating motherhood and career. My name is Sarah Wong, the host of the podcast, and a mother of 2 young ones. I started this to learn how other working mothers made career shifts for family life and ‘made it work’. I have interviewed ex-management consultants, career coaches and entrepreneurs and have enjoyed bringing their stories to light. With over 800 views and a diverse audience spanning 20 countries, including Singapore, the US, India, and Japan, "Make It Work" has gained good traction since its launch in August 2023. The majority of our listeners are females aged between mid-30s to mid-40s.
