Ep09: The Working Mum’s Mental Load: Strategies for Navigating a Career & Motherhood, with Suzanne Lindsay Holt
This week’s special guest, Suzanne Lindsay Holt is a dedicated professional who specializes in working with mums who have recently returned to work after maternity leave.
Having experienced the challenges and frustrations herself after having her own baby, Suzanne understands the unique struggles women face as they try to balance work and life responsibilities while reshaping their identities and often feeling a little lost and isolated, through this transformative period.
Suzanne emphasizes the importance of being kind to ourselves and acknowledges that we often underestimate our own abilities. She also shares so many productivity tips for working moms and we discuss the infamous mental load and ways to alleviate it.Â
After struggling with this difficult transition first-hand, Suzanne realised the need for support and guidance during this stage of life. She now uses her own experiences to help other mums navigate this journey and find their own path.
This is going to be an incredibly valuable and comforting episode for so many of you, who I speak to every day, who are struggling to balancing children and work. I’m so excited to welcome, Suzanne Lindsay Holt.

After obtaining a degree in business and a Master's in Project Management, Laura spent many years in HR before deciding to quit during the pandemic and pursue her passion for coaching.

In this episode we discuss what it’s like to pursue your dream life, how to take a leap of faith and leave a secure job for a life of self employment, we discuss LinkedIn as a social media marketing platform and we talk about how important it is to surround yourself with likeminded women.
With her background in business and coaching, Laura helps vibrant women create a business they love on their own terms.
We dive into Laura's journey to entrepreneurship, the challenges and rewards of creating a coaching business, and her top tips for succeeding as a business owner.

Ep07: Empowering Mums to Monetise On Social Media, with Lottie Teideman
If you first come across @alittlebitoflottie on Instagram, you might think she’s just another parenting influencer, with funny videos, brand collaborations and a very relatable account of motherhood.
But Lottie Teidman is also a business woman. She’s a podcast host, she runs a membership, she teaches other women to monetise their social media platforms, she’s an illustrator and a digital product creator.
Lottie started her journey as a bikini athlete, losing five stone to compete on stage and gain a strong following with her transformation photos. Her content then shifted to travel as she explored the world, but as she became a mother, she found herself in the role of a parenting influencer. Though she dislikes the term, Lottie has fully embraced this role and has gone on to create a successful podcast and book. What started as an unintentional path has now led her to become a prominent influencer across multiple platforms.
In this episode we discuss Lottie’s experience with burnout and her strategies for avoiding it. She also shares how she built up her social media presence to earn a full-time income and offers advice on how to monetise on social media.
Lottie also shares her struggles with ADHD, but how it has helped her constantly come up with business ideas. Whether you're just starting out or have already built up a following, there's something for everyone in this episode. Join the conversation and find out how you can make social media work for you!

Ep06: Preventing Burnout and Depression: Strategies for Emotional Wealth, with Sophia Manarolis
I want to begin this episode with a trigger warning. In this conversation we discuss topics such as depression and attempted suicide, so if you feel that this discussion might not be for you, please click back now. But if you are interested in the topic of mindset and improving your mental health, I’ll just tell you now, this episode is so powerful it moved me to tears!
Sophia Manarolis has a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and is a Certified Life Coach and she is absolutely passionate about helping people improve their mental health. But there’s good a reason for this.
Sophia has struggled with her own mental health throughout her life, suffering four major depressive episodes and surviving multiple attempts to take her own life.
With a clearer, healthier mind, she now feels extremely fortunate to still be alive and has made it her mission to help others understand the power of gratitude, mental wealth and emotional intelligence on their own lives.
Sophia is so open and honest. We talk in depth about how gratitude is an absolute game changer, about how important it is to look after our mental health and how to set boundaries, make sure our needs are met and about limiting beliefs such as imposter syndrome and comparisonitis.Â
There is so much gold in this, whether you struggle with your mental health or not. This conversation was just such an important one to have and I’m honestly so glad I get to have this on my podcast for everyone to benefit from.
Please welcome Sophia Manarolis, talking about why your mental health matters!
