Inspired by the artistic passion, Julie Johnsen is an interior architect having more than 15 years of experience, is now the Vice President of Kit&Kaboodle.

A US based brand with multiple showrooms in Lahore, is known for the finest furnishings and luxury home dĂŠcor accessories. She is the mother of a toddler and travels a lot due to her business. Being a working mom and a successful business woman, she is a true inspiration for many of us in this region as well.

MOMMY What was your worst fear of being a mother?

Before becoming a mother, I had a different approach and vision that I can be away from my baby to focus on work completely. But I am so attached to my baby that I can cut down on my work just to have more time with him. I do work smartly and use my time wisely now.

How do you see yourself before and after him?

Being a mother, it is such a universal feeling that I feel for all mothers and children. For instance, I see a mother carrying kids in streets and I sympathize more to them what life is ahead of them and it makes me concerned for them as well.

What surprised you the most after becoming a mother?

I was surprised to know that I can be attached to my child to this extent. I was 36 when Marelius came into my life and for a long time, I have been working hard and focusing on my career.

This little man has totally shifted my viewpoint about myself. If I knew how amazing it would be to be a mother, I might have been chosen

this 10 year before.

What inspired you then and now?

Not a lot has changed about my inspirations. I got to know about the things parents need for their baby and now we are developing a baby range for K&K. One advice for working mothers?

Spend your time wisely. When I am with him I try to put my gad-

gets away, when I feed him I do not read the news on the phone but try to connect with him. When spending time with my family or playing with my child I try to keep my focus on them nothing else.

When I am at work my focus is there. Work is never ending but the time I have with my child is precious and would never come back and I do not compromise on this at all.

Any support from your husband in maintaining a work-life balance?

My husband is taking time off his work while I am neck deep busy in my work here in Pakistan or working anywhere else in the world.

Every child needs both mother and father and since he’s born he had never been away from us for not more than 30 minutes. We never left him with a nanny, when I am

ON CALL busy Terje is taking care of him. It is very pleasing to see that my husband has a very strong bond with our son, he can feed him he can take care of all his tasks and it gives a feeling of deep love towards both of them.

What is Kit&Kaboodle for you?

Kit&Kaboodle is my first baby and Marelius is the second. Both of them are close to my heart and require a lot of love and attention to grow and develop with time.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

QUEEN! A TITLE JUST ABOVE

For this mother's day we asked these super mom’s how they maintain a balance between family and work!

As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

Children learn their work ethics from their parents. Kids see their mothers as a role model.

So you have to show your kids everyday how to make choices to better your life. It’s a constant struggle but mothers have to take this tough road and lead by example.

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

Working moms have it tough. One has to use time saving hacks. You need to know how to get the most done in the least amount of time, use shortcuts and plan strategically.

I love to go out with my children on weekends, sunday brunch followed by play dates, horse riding and swimming sessions make our weekends interesting. I also like to catch up on our conversations over the weekend, this way I feel I can compensate for the time spent away from kids.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a career?

The best career advice I can give to working moms is you could do anything you put your mind to even if you want to be president of Pakistan. Just believe in yourself and know there are no limits of what you set your mind to. Just be confident and take initiative.

How do you spend weekends with kids?

As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

Luckily, I work from home. I don't think I would have the heart to leave my child home and do a 9-5 job. I'm just an overly obsessed first time mom!

ADEN REHAN | PR

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

They can keep weekends free, show up on the special events, take vacations together, not bring work home, or work from home if they can manage.

How do you spend weekends with kids?

My baby is only 8 months. On weekends we usually spend time with extended family, friends, go to festivals (if there are any happening), go out for meals.

Hopefully when she's older we'll be able to do alot more.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a career?

Don't take out your work frustrations on your children. Enjoy with them!

ALYZEH GABOL | MODEL As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

Since my mother is immensely supportive towards my work, she takes care of Miraal while i'm working or travelling but now that she’s growing up, she understands my routine but yes it becomes quite difficult when i'm not in town for days.

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

I sometimes take Miraal to my shoots that are in the studio, that manages my time with her well but otherwise whenever you're free just spend time with the your child.

How do you spend weekends with kids?

I take her out it depends what her mood is like.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a career?

Please dont feel guilty about building a future for your child. Being a working mother does not make you a bad mother, all that you’re achieving now will help ur child grow in the future.

How do you spend weekends with kids?

Weekends are a big challenge to get by when there’s an 11 year old and 2 year old at hand with a totally different set of requirements for entertainment . My son usually has his own independent plans and the little one is still mainly on our agenda. We don’t follow any set routine so each weekend has its own pace.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a career?

Focus on yourself and personal growth. It is way more important than monetary achievements. A happy and occupied mind is the key to keeping the household happy.

KHADIJA MALIK | ENTREPRENEUR As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

I don’t believe children need to be given explanations - just the reassurance that they come first and that you are always there for them.

Even so, small children have maids around them and

SADAF ZARAR HEAD OF INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS – THE COCA-COLA COMPANY

How do you spend weekends with kids?

We usually plan anything we have to do together for the weekends. I try not to keep a very tight schedule but slabs of the day to manage things. I plan my Saturdays and allow Sundays to be the spillover rescue day/ relaxing day.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a

As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

Thankfully I haven’t had to answer my kids on this. I guess when they grow up seeing a working mom it’s nothing different or unusual for them. Luckily, my usual work day involves a lot of trips home for lunch and small things so they don’t quite get to miss me too much.

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

One thing that I want to improve about my day is starting it earlier than I usually do. I think an early start can really be a solution to time management problems. Days when I don’t snooze after kids have left for school I end up with getting lots done.

As a mother, how do you explain to smaller children why you have to spend time away at work?

A child is not born with the sense of 'how many hours does my mother need to spend with me to be a good mother'. I think personally the quality of time spent with children is way more important than quantity.

I make time to ensure I am there for anything important in her life. Beyond that, she has always known her mom to be a 'Boss' which I think is a great example to set for her.

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

Honestly, the first thing to do is to come to terms with the fact that you're not in competition with anyone else for 'best mother' competition.

You will manage your life your way and someone else will manage it their way. There is no right or wrong.

SADAF FAWAD KHAN I DESIGNER

career?

Don't be too hard on yourself.

As i said there is no right or wrong way of doing things.

Only YOUR way; which will work for you and your family.

they take over a lot of the mother’s tasks, and so the role of a mother changes/evolves. These are choices women make. This question would never be asked of a man.

What can professional mothers do to manage their time better?

Nothing. They need to raise their children to know that this is the world’s normal. Pakistan needs to catch up. Plus what about mothers of girls? Should they be teaching them that they have to apologise to work? I don’t believe we need to have to manage time better. Or that being a working mother is an issue. It beats being a kept woman in Pakistani society. Helps the women not be behoven to anyone.

How do you spend weekends with kids?

Mostly doing nothing, but together.

What is the most important piece of advice you have for mothers who are pursuing a career?

Go for it. And don’t apologise for having a drive to achieve when other Pakistani women don’t.

Up, close and personal with Shahid Afridi, the man behind the brand, Hope not out!

Where did the name Hope Not Out come from? Is there a story behind the name?

In my career as a cricketer I’ve witnessed all my loved ones praying and hoping for me to be “Not-Out ”.But as a sportsman; I’ve always known that this fear is inevitable. Though i knew that at some point in the game I will be out - but the “Hope” I saw in people’s eyes was limitless and infinite. Hope shall never be out!

us overcome life’s obstacles with a positive mindset. Therefore, this was the idea and the motivation behind my brainchild ‘Hope NotOut’ whereby I wanted to establish a socially conscious business that gives back to the underprivileged, giving them hope.

What is your vision for the brand?

Our vision is to be an Apparel retail brand that represents the values of sportsmanship and a brand for the people of Pakistan.

We are committed to providing superior service, outstanding quality and value to the market.

The essence of Hope Not Out is to provide relevant, essential and timeless fashion for my fans and peers around the world.

What inspired you to start Hope Not-Out? Honestly, the love and support I have received and experienced from my family, friends and fans instigated my urge to give back to them and be able to provide

happiness and hope to those who need it. “Hope Not-Out” is a brand with a cause; having profits shared and donated to provide and empower people in need so they can also have an opportunity to achieve their fullest potential and participate in and contribute to all aspects of life.

Describe Hope Not Out in three words.

Cricket, passion and people!

How would you describe your collection style?

We want to be a completely mass-centric brand, which means that where certain fashion elements will be retained within the designs, we will simultaneously be making sure that our apparel is wearable, attracting conventional customers who dominate the market. Fundamentally, Hope Not Out embodies today’s contemporary lifestyle choices, simplicity in design and quality in substance.

In your opinion, what is the hardest area in building a brand?

Marketers would probably agree that brands are built with numbers and it's not easy. Some vouch out to say that brands are made of a strong customer base and catering to all kinds of expectations is almost impossible. Product variety, quality, vernacular, fits and textures require dedication of the entire team and attention to detail of the entire process. The hardest thing to build in a long lasting brand is the “right kind of teamwith the right kind of mindset”.

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Mercury’s move into your income sector on Monday inspires you to think about how to earn, save, and splurge. Try not to fret around money—see it as an energy that’s trying to help you. The weekend motivates you to work hard at your relationships and to spend time with others who aren’t afraid to show up for you.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) Mercury enters your sign on Monday, helping you think, speak, and listen more attentively. The universe is gifting you with all the right ideas, words, and conversations. Don't sweat the small stuff when it comes to romance this weekend.

Zoom out so you can see your situation more clearly and peacefully.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) Monday’s move into Mercury gives you intuition and vision— follow your hunches, and trust that it’s the universe trying to help you. Something may make you feel uncomfortable this weekend, so surround yourself with supportive friends. Share your story so they can give you healing energy.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Mercury enters your friendship sector on Monday, making you less of a homebody and more the life of the party. Then, this weekend, think about how you and your partners work at making “love” a practice. Don’t profess—show, don’t tell!

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) On Monday, Mercury enters your career sector, helping you realize just how brilliant you are at work. It’s a wonderful time to think about what you really want to get out of your job. Keep things light when it comes to romance and love this weekend.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Mercury joins your wisdom and big-thinking sector on Monday, helping you find inspiration everywhere you go. And the weekend reminds you about the magnetism that comes from having confidence: The more secure you feel, the more authentic your relationships will be!

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) On Monday, Mercury enters your truth-seeking sector, helping you read between the lines and search for honesty.

Search for emotional safety this weekend by staying close to the experiences and partners you trust implicitly.

Take a look to see how far you’ve come, and celebrate your progress!

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) On Monday, Mercury enters your joyful, creativity, and confidence zone, inspiring you to work less and play more—do it to avoid burnout and resentment. This weekend, home is what your heart is longing for, so spend time with partners who make you feel comfortable and respect your sensitivities.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) Mercury’s move on Monday inspires you to be open about your feelings and to share them with the right people. Your empathy and compassion are getting stronger, too. This weekend, try to let go of a story you keep telling yourself. Not everything you think is accurate—do a quick reality check.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) Mercury joins your communication sector, helping you pay attention, think, listen, and speak attentively. You don’t have to communicate perfectly, but if you feel something, say it. This weekend, spend time with friends who share your deepest values—you want quality, not superficial connection.
