  • The word every mother needs to hear

    The word every mother needs to hear
    May 8 2025
    The first time Zoe heard the word 'Matrescence' was transformative. For her, it went from feeling like she was doing it all wrong, to realising that the early years of motherhood are meant to be a time where life gets thrown up in the air, and everything changes. Since then, it's been her mission to spread the word about Matrescence: what it really means, and the tools mothers need to navigate it with far more self-compassion. This week's episode is part of Zoe's mission to make mothers aware of their matrescence - it's a conversation taken from the 'I Don't Think We Talk Enough About...' podcast with Helen Marie which we wanted to share with our community.

    The Lie of Work-Life Balance (And What Actually Works) with Rachael Twumasi-Corson
    Apr 17 2025
    If you are a working mum who's ever felt like you're barely holding it all together; if you are constantly juggling work, kids, ambition and your own sanity - then THIS is the episode for you. Don't worry, it's not about 'finding balance' or 'doing it all'. In fact our guest today calls BS on all of that. Rachael Twumasi-Corson is an entrepreneur, fractional executive, mum of four, and the definition of a powerhouse. Since starting her first business at 18, Rachael has built multiple companies all while being pregnant or breast-feeding or leading board rooms. She tells us all about 'work/life harmony': what it actually looks like to be successful without losing yourself or the mother you want to be. If you've ever wondered how the hell you are supposed to do it all, or if you even want to, then this episode will help you redefine what success means to you on your terms.
