This week we talk to canine rescuer / LinkedIn royalty/ successful businesswoman Lea Turner, founder of The HoLT Community supporting 580+ entrepreneurs worldwide.

In this episode, Lea shares:

• How being a solo parent to her 9-year-old son shaped her unconventional path to business success
• The pivotal moment she defined what "enough" truly means - choosing presence with her son over endless pursuit of more
• Her journey from small transcription business to building a thriving global community
• Real talk about the financial reality of supporting a family as a solo parent entrepreneur
• The strategy behind growing to 178,000 LinkedIn connections (without the usual corporate playbook)

As ambitious mothers, we often struggle with balance. Lea's journey reminds us that sometimes success isn't about scaling higher, but about creating space for what's irreplaceable.

Plus, discover Lea's double life as a real-life Snow White!

Whether you're building a business while raising kids or simply seeking more purpose in your professional path, Lea's practical wisdom and refreshing honesty will inspire you to define success on your own terms.

Alex is back this week!

We had planned to discuss money-saving parenting hacks, but instead found ourselves unpacking why mothers create unnecessary complexity when away from our children.

From triple-checking with capable caregivers to rushing back early when everyone's fine, we explore the psychology behind our self-imposed time limits and the freedom waiting on the other side of mother-guilt.

What you'll gain from this episode:

• Recognition of your own "maternal compensation" patterns
• Strategies to combat the guilt of being away
• Permission to enjoy the mental spaciousness that comes with distance
• Practical steps to simplify your time away
• Understanding how your wholeness as a person benefits your children more than constant presence

Do you rush back when you don't need to? Share your experience in the comments!

We'd love to hear how you navigate time away.

With Alex away on holiday, join me (Tiffany) for a short and sweet solo episode inspired by a LinkedIn post that deeply resonated with so many working mothers.

This episode delves into the fascinating contradictions I've observed in my own motherhood+ambition journey:

• How our children simultaneously mimic our ambition while resisting its reality
• Why "balance" is a myth, but harmony is achievable through seasonal recalibration
• The surprising ways our career shapes our mothering in positive ways

Plus, enjoy my "Kid Quotes" segment featuring my children's logical (yet completely illogical) perspectives on life - from my son's thoughtful response to Anne Frank's diary to how "Debra distracts me."

A candid conversation for any mother navigating the beautiful mess of career aspirations alongside raising tiny humans with big personalities.

Join us as we speak to Lori Sugarman-Li who shares her powerful journey from thriving marketing career to motherhood, and her awakening moment when an insurance agent dismissed her worth as a "housewife."

This conversation unpacks how to transform invisible household labor into recognised, valued, and shared family responsibility.

In this episode you will learn:

• Practical frameworks to make the mental load visible and fairly distributed

• Strategies for transforming household work from burden to source of family pride

• Techniques for creating effective "Family Flow" systems based on shared values

• Guidance on redefining ambition through different life phases without losing yourself
• Tools for conducting family meetings that actually work
• Methods for aligning tasks with family members' strengths to reduce resentment
• Approaches for raising children who contribute meaningfully to household operations

Lori powerfully reminds us that "women will never have equity in the workplace until they have it at home" while offering actionable solutions for creating sustainable systems that reduce maternal burnout.

You can also check out Lori's beautiful picture book "Our Home: The Love, Work, and Heart of Family" that celebrates the powerful connection between family members who share both space and responsibility.

In this powerful Autism Awareness Month episode, we speak with Sharadha Ramakrishnan, an Engineering Coach at Digits who previously led a 50+ person team at Yelp before transforming her life by moving back to Chennai, India after 12 years in California.

Sharadha's perspective on freedom and identity dramatically shifted when she became a mother, particularly as she navigated raising her neurodivergent son alongside her neurotypical daughter.

In this episode we explore:

• The contrast between Western individualism and the "it takes a village" philosophy that changed her parenting experience
• How cultural differences between the US and India reshape the parenting journey
• Strategies for building support systems when facing healthcare challenges like therapy waitlists
• Balancing professional identity with the transformative experience of raising a neurodivergent child

Perfect for anyone seeking to build their own community of support or struggling to bring their whole self to both parenting and professional spaces.

This conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom on finding freedom within the complex intersections of culture, career, and neurodiversity.

Ever wonder what your career and motherhood juggle looks like once your kids are grown? In this revealing episode of Mambition, we sit down with Gifty Enright who shares wisdom from the other side of active parenting.

As mothers in the thick of career-building while raising young children, we rarely get to peek at the long-term results of our daily decisions. Gifty offers that precious perspective, revealing which "urgent" moments actually mattered years later, how to delegate without guilt (because "you can't delegate love, but almost everything else is fair game"), and why those critical first seven years shape both your child's self-esteem and your career trajectory.

Whether you're struggling with burnout, questioning your ambition, or seeking practical ways to build resilient children while climbing the career ladder, this episode delivers both emotional reassurance and actionable strategies.

Gifty's personal journey through health crisis, career achievements, and raising boys to adulthood provides a roadmap for redefining success on your own terms.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain perspective from someone who's navigated the entirety of the working motherhood journey and emerged with both professional accomplishments and family relationships intact.

In this eye-opening episode, we speak with Belinda Jane Batt, an accredited positive psychology coach and maternal guilt expert who's both researching the phenomenon while living through it as a mother of two.

After 20 years in PR and marketing, Belinda's perspective transformed when she became a mother in 2016.

Now, she's challenging the systems that weaponise guilt against working mothers through her research and upcoming book, "Challenge Your Guilt: How to Flourish in Motherhood, Work and Life" (Spring 2025).

In this episode we explore:

• The biological roots of maternal guilt and how it's exploited in modern society
• Why the "have it all" narrative fails without systemic support

• How to recognise achievements and counter negative thinking patterns
• Strategies for involving partners and workplaces in reducing the maternal guilt burden

Perfect for any mother who's ever rushed to be first in the school pickup line or felt torn between professional ambition and family responsibilities. This conversation offers both validation and actionable strategies to break free from the guilt trap and advocate for meaningful change.

Join hosts Alex Morgan and Tiffany for a special Mother's Day episode! After battling tech glitches (twice!), we finally get to publish this conversation about what Mother's Day really means to us beyond commercial gifts.

Alex shares her emotional experience at her son's nursery breakfast celebration, while Tiffany reflects on her special Lent walk . We discuss how we used International Women's Day to recharge our batteries - including meeting Dragons' Den's Sara Davies - and explore the unique perspective of motherless mothers during this holiday.

A heartfelt episode for ambitious moms everywhere who are balancing career goals with the joys and challenges of motherhood.
