Dr. Giselle Goodwin is an academic and author specialising in women, work, and wellbeing. After juggling a busy career in healthcare and business while raising two daughters, she returned to university in her 40s to research the question so many women ask: can we really have it all? Her PhD explored the emotional and practical realities of modern working motherhood, and she now shares her insights in her book Can Women Really Have It All? and through conversations about gender equality, happiness and work. Originally from Canada and now based in Cheshire, Giselle lives with her husband and two teenage daughters. She’s no stranger to mismatched socks, forgotten PE kits, and the occasional parenting meltdown. Above all, she’s passionate about helping women find joy, meaning, and confidence in their work and family lives.
