Head of Affiliate & Partner Marketing at Genie Goals I Results-driven digital marketing for ecommerce brands | Affiliate channel advocate
Today marks my third week back at Genie Goals after maternity leave with my 2nd little girl - I pretty much have my own girl band now! Coming back has been a real mix of emotions - fear, excitement, anxiety and determination. Fear - HOW DO I JUGGLE IT ALL Excitement - I get to work with my lovely team and clients again, I get to drink hot coffee… Anxiety - will my girls be okay? What if I can’t remember anything? What is my log in? Determination - I will make our affiliate offering even better this year and I will NOT forget everyone's lunch or World Book Day Well there is my first fail… cue me running in with a princess costume under one arm 😰 And well, to be honest I’ve been excited by what I’ve seen... The team at Genie Goals are still amazing We have some lovely new clients doing great things Our long term clients are going from strength to strength still The affiliate industry continues to evolve and grow, providing clients with the endless opportunities we know it can The fear is still there, juggling is hard and some days the view off camera is not pretty But I have had to let go of trying to strive for every day to be perfect and go with the flow slightly more, enjoying the very real challenge of juggling ALL THE THINGS. #Maternityleave #returntowork #affiliatemarketing
We are so happy to have you back Rachel ❤️ You are a superstar and from one mum to another, it is a tough gig juggling EVERYTHING but I promise it does get easier 🙌🏻 Well, not remembering World Book Day 🤦♀️ luckily a well stocked fancy dress box and loosely connected fictional characters can always be found at the last minute! 😅
You will do amazingly!
Welcome back! Let's have a catch up call soon? I'm almost 1 year back after Maternity Leave and I still forgot World Book Day.... 😅 thank goodness for a Unicorn Dress passed down by her cousins!
World Book Day gets me every year! Welcome back - let’s catch up soon please 💪
Congrats Rachel, it’s no mean feat juggling it all but what a wonderful role model you are for your girls 😍
Oh yes the joy of hot drinks again! Christened "Bing-Juice" in our house, due to the sound our microwave makes announcing the cuppa has been reheated. Welcome back to having a little time to yourself ☕

1yIt's fantastic to have you back Rachel and what a great post, it's very important to be kind to ourselves and accept what's under our control. Any ideas for the girl band name? 😀
