When her contract with Meta ended, Lauren Ingram was too scared to tell anyone she was pregnant in case it jeopardised her job prospects. 106 unsuccessful applications later, Lauren decided to take the leap and turn her interest in Web3 into a business. I think the theme that threads through our conversation is women belonging and taking up space - in tech leadership roles, as consumers, in asking for payment for speaker opportunities, as business owners. And Lauren also shares some advice on how

Sophie David started Little Happy Learners in 2019 and still feels in the early days of her business; it’s taken her 5 years to get clear on her vision for her business. 6 months ago Sophie set herself a deadline - go all in for a year, and if it doesn’t work, go back to teaching. In that 6 months, she has seen her Instagram following grow by over 300%. Overnight growth is never overnight. Sophie shares lots of insight into her business, her purpose and some really valuable and practical tidbits if

Shim is a natural storyteller and has a really interesting and wide-ranging career behind her, every step of which has been absolutely instrumental in the business she now runs. I think what stood out for me from this conversation is the importance of self-advocacy and knowing yourself and your worth. What would you do if you found out that you didn’t receive the bonus you were legally entitled to while you were on mat leave? How can you make sure your voice is heard when it comes to your pregnancy,

Wow. Rosie has one hell of a story! When Covid hit, Rosie Davies-Smith’s PR agency lost 90% of its revenue overnight. She redeployed all her staff to their ‘side-hustle business, PR Dispatch, which started growing exponentially. All with a newborn and a 2 year court case looming. ‘It was hard, but I really enjoyed those first few months’. Let’s be clear here: Rosie is incredibly honest about how hard it was, the lasting impact so much pressure has had on her. But she made it work. And is transparent

If you’re about to go back to work post mat leave, or have just returned to work, this one is for you. Jess Heagran, Founder of Careers After Babies is on a mission to create a cohort of world class employers for working parents. If you haven’t read the Careers After Babies report, I highly recommend it. It is mind blowing. I think we knew, but we didn’t ‘know’, I didn’t realise just how widespread the lack of support for parents, and especially mums is. So if you’re having a bad experience at the

Nicky Elliot is the embodiment of the lessons of her own podcast: there is no career path. From events business, to children’s clothing brand, to podcasting and consultancy, Nicky’s path has been winding. Stepping away from her events business after the birth of her second child, Nicky opened a successful clothing brand in 2020, and closed it in 2023. And wow, Nicky is honest about her journey through it: exactly how much she invested in the company (life savings!), the healthy dose of naivety it

Mimi spent almost 20 years building her international advertising career when she was challenged on her leadership style, ‘is it intuition or is it empathy?’ Just arrived to a new country with her small daughter in tow, Mimi realised she had been mis-sold a job and faced the challenge of trying to rebuild a failing company. She realised that listening, and most of all empathy, was a superpower and used it to not only turn the business around, but become a best selling author along the way. I learnt

Like so many women with corporate careers, Saasha Celestial-One decided during mat leave that it just wasn’t worth the sacrifices it required. Instead, inspired by her mat leave experience, she created London’s first pay-as-you-go nursery. Fiercely ambitious, Saasha and her friend and now co-founder Tessa, wanted to create a business that contributed meaningfully to the environment, and Olio was born: a mere 5 months after their initial ‘A-ha’ moment! As a solo founder, I am fascinated by co-founder

If you are feeling challenged, by motherhood, by your business, this is the conversation for you. Anna Mathur, psychotherapist, best selling author and mum of 3 shares some of her wisdom on how we can live more restfully, when let’s face it, as parents, sleep just isn’t an option. Not only does Anna share some of her personal practices and insights into how we can all try to create that space for a breath between a moment of stress and our reaction, but it was also a real comfort just to hear her

After nearly 20 years as Tom Ford’s right hand woman, Whitney Bromberg-Hawkings went on maternity leave with her third child, and knew she was never going back. Mat leave was a now or never moment, Whitney knew that the nascent FLOWERBX, set up 7 months before, was a good idea, but she needed to commit. And she never looked back. There is some real honesty from Whitney in this conversation, what it was like being a young mother working in the fashion industry, ‘hide the baby, lose the weight’, and

We’re back! This week, as a little taster for Season 3, coming out next week, I’m talking about the biggest, and most expensive mistake I have made to date in my business. I fully admit - I got sucked into Instagram FOMO, and let my ego take control. I’m sharing my reasons why I made the mistake, the reasons why it was the wrong decision for my business and my biggest 2 learnings from it. I want to normalise making mistakes and owning them - it’s part of our growth. DISCLAIMER: I name a service I

Kim Hartwell built a business on adventure hosting international retreats and teaching yoga, movement and breathwork face to face. And then Covid happened. Kim’s business had to pivot pretty quickly to a new online model, and then she got pregnant. A huge pivot. I really related to Kim’s feelings pre birth, the “oh god, am I going to be a person that just does mum stuff now?” feeling, the mindset that nothing really has to change once the baby arrives and the identity struggles that come when you

They pretty quickly started working together, both fired by their mission to stop supply chain food waste. And a lot has changed since then! Alina had a baby 9 months into their business, leaving Dini to head the business as it navigated a change of business model from B2C to B2B SaaS.

Another mum who found that the corporate world just wasn’t for her after having kids, Laura was inspired to create Mama Bamboo when she couldn’t find a sustainable nappy that fit in with her lifestyle. Laura waited until her children were at school/nursery before committing to her business idea, and from there in her words, “it’s been a real rollercoaster”. From 300% growth in her first years of business, to being hamstrung by skyrocketing freighting costs (hello 700% increase!) and considering

Self confessed super connector, Susie Lodge is a proud Mum to 3 little ones and founder of 2 businesses - Wiki Places for Kids and the Wiki Mama Network. I think we can all relate to Susie’s description of screeching up to the office or to nursery pick ups constantly feeling like we’re on the back foot or in the wrong place. And we’ve all felt the romantic pull of setting up on our own - desperately seeking the freedom to choose how we manage our days and how we make our money. Wiki Places for Kids

Maria’s journey into her business sounds like a really organic process, and shows you the value of sometimes just saying yes to opportunities and working out the finer details later! Like a lot of mums, Maria was looking for a more flexible working life than corporate life afforded her, not least because her eldest, Edie, has autism and other
