What if success wasn’t about having a crystal-clear plan at 16… or even at 40?

In this episode of The School Run, Jane is joined by Sue Moore; founder, business coach, franchise consultant, investor and mum of three for an honest, thoughtful conversation about the lessons school never taught us.

Sue shares her journey from leaving school with few qualifications and being advised to “keep her typing up”, to building a career defined not by job titles, but by helping others navigate challenges and find clarity.

Together, Jane and Sue explore:

• ​ Why having one fixed dream can sometimes hold us back
• ​ The difference between happiness and true contentment
• ​ Finding flow, reducing friction and listening to what really energises you
• ​ Why money means very little without health and wellbeing
• ​ How motherhood, busyness and responsibility can delay self-discovery
• ​ Learning to balance connection with quiet, especially as women
• ​ What we wish school had taught us about life, relationships and ourselves

This is a gentle but powerful reminder that success looks different for everyone and that it’s never too late to build a life that feels aligned, peaceful and purposeful.

🎙️ The School Run is brought to you by Little Voices, where we nurture confidence and big futures through drama and singing.

What are the things you wish school had taught you about understanding yourself, life, relationships, confidence, and health — so that each day you could grow into the person you know you’re capable of becoming?

Welcome to The School Run Podcast, where every day is a school day — and where we talk about the lessons that don’t appear on the curriculum.

In this very special and emotional episode, mum and daughter Jane and Liv reflect on change, growth, confidence, and chapters coming to a close. For one of the last times as co-hosts, they sit together to talk honestly about what it means to move forward, let go, and trust what’s next.

Liv shares why she’s stepping away from the podcast as she begins a new chapter — starting a new job, a degree apprenticeship, and life beyond what’s been familiar for nearly three years of podcasting together. Jane reflects on what it’s meant to co-create something so meaningful with her daughter, and why the podcast isn’t ending — it’s evolving.

They discuss:

• Why school doesn’t teach us how to truly understand ourselves

• Navigating change and uncertainty

• Confidence, networking, and stepping into new rooms

• Why your relationships and connections matter

• Coaching, self-awareness, and finding your people

• Letting go of one chapter without losing the heart of it

You’ll also hear what’s next for The School Run Podcast, as it becomes powered by Little Voices — exploring confidence, creativity, education, leadership, and the future of learning through conversations with educators, franchisees, tutors, past pupils, and future changemakers.
