2024/11/14

I’ve been spending too much time on Threads. Over there, I’m seeing more and more the narrative that mums can work from home full time AND be full time carers for their kids. And I just don’t think it can work. I’m sharing exactly what childcare and support I had while setting up and running my business, because I don’t want anyone to think that I was ‘doing it all’. I very much wasn’t. I can totally see why this narrative is so tempting: childcare is laughably, tragically, expensive in the UK

A solo episode this week talking about a question I think all service (and probably product?!) business owners can relate to: Do You Take The Sales Call When You Have Your Kids? Obviously we all hope to have rock solid boundaries. But let’s face it, there is always a bit of pressure, whether that’s internal or external, that this could be our ‘only chance’ to make the sale. Listen to the episode for my take on this, and what I now see as a client red flag. There are so many factors at play with

A solo episode from me today, talking about something I think (know?!) that we’ve all experienced at some point in our lives: imposter syndrome. Does it exist? How to recognise it How to manage it My personal experience of it, and how I distinguish imposter syndrome from other feelings of doubt or nerves. I am a firm believer in owning our successes as a way to bolster against imposter syndrome, but it’s not foolproof. We’ve human, we’re women, we’re mums; imposter syndrome is almost a rite of

We all experience it, especially as business owners and mums, and here Caroline unpacks her previous run in with extreme burnout, and how she was able to step back from the brink after a total stranger flagged that she might be in danger of burning out again.

"If I can buy lawn mowers and hedge trimmers, why can't I buy vibrators" Season 3 is going out with a bang! Mikaela Jones went from buyer at Homebase to launching her own sexual wellness brand, Pleasure Gap. Knowing that she wanted to start her own business, Mikaela did an inventory of what she was passionate about, and sexual wellness for women came out on top (pun intended). For Mikaela, her business was a way of finding her way back to herself post kids, not only in terms of career, but as a

Gemma Bray started cleaning obsessively as a way to manage her anxiety after the birth of her first child. Some years later, when Gemma was a stay at home mum, he dared her to take her cleaning onto Instagram and The Organised Mum was born! I can really relate to Gemma’s need to control something in the early days of motherhood. For me, it was my red lipstick and my business, for her, it was her home. I think we’re all victims of the rose tinted spectacles that are applied to pregnancy and

For Claire Gleave, running was a way of getting some headspace, away from being a full time mum. It also gave her a business idea: activewear for pregnancy and beyond. Having taken voluntary redundancy after her second mat leave, Claire was focused on her family. I think we can all relate to her feeling of ‘being sold a lie’ when it comes to working and raising a family and ‘having it all’. But when her second was preparing to start school, Claire decided it was the right time to work on her

How will I feel about this situation in 5 years time? I love this question from Kate Kurdziej, founder of Olivier Consultancy. Whether it was deciding to leave a toxic job in the early days of pregnancy, or leaving behind the lifelong dream of moving to France, it guided her to where she is now. Kate had a difficult birth, and found the transition to motherhood uncomfortable, for a long time, she fought the change in her identity. After some time, and some counselling, Kate was able to reframe her

Catherine Ann Reid founded her business, Doqit, because she found herself with a problem, and she wasn’t the only one. But it took Covid for Doqit to become a viable business and a full time job. As a single mum, Catherine Ann has an amazing approach to work and fitting it around parenthood: quality over quantity. Balls were dropped, but tomorrow is always a new day. Catherine Ann’s daughter has a very rare genetic condition, and her split from her partner when her daughter was 18 months meant that

Like me, and a lot of mums I know, Charlie’s transition from ‘ambitious career woman’ to ‘mum’ wasn’t easy. And for both of us, maybe you too, it meant that we didn’t enjoy those early mum days as much as we could have. We were too worried about other people’s perceptions about our commitment and drive. Now, Charlie has really leant into motherhood - she says that it was ‘owning’ motherhood, investing in her relationships (everyone needs a sleepover club!) that made the difference. Charlie has

Rachel Carrell is an impressive woman: 3 kids, raised £14 million in funding rounds, and on a world changing mission to change the face of childcare. Something that Rachel has found, which I’ve heard a lot on the podcast, is the advantage of being a ‘newbie’ in an industry. I think we can often dismiss ideas because we don’t have enough experience in the field, but that could be our strength. Rachel was also kind enough to share her ‘ups and downs’ in her career, from her time at McKinsey to

Becoming a mother is the ultimate creative act, and yet, when we become mothers our identities as creators, as individuals is often lost. Louise Webster is on a mission to connect mums, not only to themselves, but to the community and inspiration to drive us. For Louise, parenthood has not just been about raising kids, but about raising herself; uncovering new things and unlocking parts of herself that had been lost. Growth is a part of who we are, becoming a parent doesn’t change that, if anything,

Lauren Armes’ plan was never to build a wildly successful business and then exit. But motherhood (and Covid!) was a catalyst for change. Not only did Lauren’s definition of success change, but how she wanted to build her life did too. So Lauren sold WellToDo to focus on motherhood, yes, but also on building her purpose-led coaching business around her family. A night and day difference between her current and previous businesses.

Spectrum speakers is a business with clear vision and values, launched after Lauralee asked herself, ‘am I contributing or am I being complicit’. Having worked in the events industry for many years, Lauralee had felt the side-eye that comes from leaving work on time to make school pick up (by the skin of your teeth)
