'Grief gives you clarity. I started to really think about what I wanted out of life, to understand how important life-work balance was to me.'

My life didn’t change instantly, but my baby loss was the catalyst for my life changing.

When I was 34 I went on maternity leave with my first, Dara, now 4½. I worked in the corporate world and when I went back to work I changed companies. Six months in I was pregnant with Naoise.
