#35 - Motherhood and startups: can you combine everything without feeling guilty? - Amélie Schieber, Co-founder, Tiime
Description of the episode
Leading a growing startup while becoming a mother: the challenge Amélie Schieber took on, not without doubts and guilt, but with clarity and ambition. // In this episode of Biz&Bibs, Amélie, co-founder of Tiime, reflects on her two motherhoods, experienced at the height of her startup's boom. An unfiltered exchange on the pressure we put on ourselves (often alone), the choices we make (or don't make), and the constant ambivalence between professional ambition and maternal presence. She tells us: Why there is never a “right time” to get pregnant when you start a business What it feels like to be the only one to stop in a team of 5 male co-founders What she would do differently today: meetings, returning to the office, mental load How she found a gentler work-family balance by moving to Bordeaux And why motherhood has, according to her, made her a better entrepreneur An episode for all those (men and women) who juggle between ambition and daily life, between growth and cuddles, between strategy and letting go.
