Are you undercharging while working too hard? Helen Walker—Mindset Ninja for Female Founders—reveals why so many women struggle with imposter syndrome, underpricing, and the belief that wanting money is greedy.

Helen shares her own journey with imposter syndrome and how even successful women attribute their wins to "luck" rather than skill, leading to burnout and playing small.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why women apologize for making money (while men don't)
• The subconscious beliefs keeping you stuck and how to rewire them
• Helen's game-changing advice: double your prices and practice saying them out loud
• How visibility—in your own way—transforms your business
• Why having money means having power to outsource the drudgery and reclaim time for what matters most
• How teaching these mindset tools to the next generation can change the world

If you're ready to charge more, work less, and make the time you spend away from your kids truly count—this episode is for you.

What happens when your 4-year-old — the child who wouldn't tolerate a splash of water on his sleeve — goes feral with paint at Scouts, ending up covered head-to-toe and completely unbothered?

Why do we label our children so quickly — "he's not a messy play kid" — and then act surprised when they change?

If he can change this dramatically without announcement or permission, what does that say about us?

Ten years ago, I quit my job and went backpacking for three months. The traditional girl who followed the script — school, uni, good job — suddenly buying a backpack and going off-piste. I was in a dark place and needed change. Looking back, that's where the me who podcasts, takes risks, and asks for what she wants started to emerge.

Here's the thing about motherhood: it's a chapter we've never lived before. The old ways stop working. We have less time, new priorities, a child who needs us more than ever. If we keep doing what we've always done, we'll only end up frustrated.

But what if we dared to reassess? To challenge what we think is fixed about ourselves? To do the inner work, look at our labels, and give ourselves permission to change, pivot, try new things?

Maybe thriving in motherhood isn't about bouncing back or finding yourself again... but about becoming someone new entirely.

Natalie Ojevah MBE went from apprentice to Vice President at Barclays — building programs that supported 100+ Black-led businesses from inside a corporate giant. She's a Forbes 30 Under 30 changemaker, a mother of two boys (4 and 8 months), and proof that you don't have to quit your job to build something that matters.

In this episode, we get into:

→ The intrapreneur mindset: Why your 9-5 can be your investor

→ Owning your ambition after motherhood: Why returning to work because you want to isn't something to justify

→ Pain as fuel: How losing her brother and navigating complex family dynamics shaped the leader she is today

→ Confidence vs comfort: The shift that helped her speak in her own voice in rooms where no one else looked or sounded like her

Natalie is an open book — someone who truly knows herself and holds nothing back.

This conversation is unflinching, honest, and will make you rethink what's possible from exactly where you are.

What happens when you realise you can’t pre-book a taxi in Pisa, Italy — not even 15 minutes before your 6am flight — and you’re travelling with two small children?

Why does the idea of “we’ll sort it when we get there” send some of us into full-body panic?

In this episode, I can laugh about it now — because we did make it home in plenty of time. But it’s really about control, planning, and parenting.

About how having children makes us crave certainty — because so much already feels unpredictable — and how travel has a way of exposing just how tightly we hold on.

From light-switch chaos to taxi trauma, this story is about learning to let go, trusting it’ll work out, and remembering that the best moments often happen when the plan falls apart.

Maybe the real growth isn’t in mastering the logistics… but in surviving them with humour intact.

Vanessa Rio built Mothering Minds—the UK's first online network of perinatal therapists—after her own postnatal depression revealed the massive gap in maternal mental health support.

But even while doing meaningful work, she and her husband felt stretched thin, disconnected, and stuck in Cambridge's competitive rat race.

So they left. Packed up and moved to a remote island in the Philippines.

This is a conversation about matrescence, building alongside motherhood, and knowing when to stop optimizing the life you have and start creating the one you actually need.

We talk about competitive parenting culture, the unique mental health challenges of new motherhood, financial trade-offs, and what it really takes to choose intentional living over what's expected.

If you've ever felt like the life you built doesn't quite fit anymore—this one's for you.

Two funerals in two days. Both women, 90 years old. Long lives—celebrations, not tragedies. Both deeply loved.

Sitting in those services, I heard "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole twice. "Unforgettable, that's what you are..."

Back-to-back funerals bring an overload of emotions. Death forces us to slow everything down and bring what's important into sharp focus.

In this episode, I talk about what I observed. The stories told. The pictures shared. The love remembered. At the end, what truly mattered wasn't possessions or achievements—it was how they made their loved ones feel. The love they gave. The light they brought.

Before motherhood, I was individualistic. I thought being anchored would limit me. But sitting at these funerals, seeing families show up—I realised: being anchored isn't a limitation. It's a blessing.

My children are 2 and 4. The days feel long, but the years are short. So I'm establishing small intentional practices now: dinner together, phone away in the mornings, presence over presents, capturing memories.

One day, my children will stand somewhere and remember me. What will our life together have represented?

That's up to me. Right now.

Homeless at 17. First property at 18. Multi-million-pound portfolio by 25. CEO of 7 businesses.

And Michelle Niziol will tell you: motherhood was harder than all of it.

The woman who could build empires struggled to be present with her own children. She didn't know another way yet. The business felt like it would fall apart without her.

But here's the breakthrough: when she finally stepped back, the business grew. Exponentially.

She hired a therapist. Not for productivity. For presence. To learn how to be fully there with her children.

In this episode, we talk about:→ Why stepping back from her 7 businesses made them grow faster→ How she went from daily office to monthly board meetings—while doing every school pickup→ Why visibility = credibility—and the price she's willing to pay for success→ Why she's petitioning to make childcare a legitimate business expense (1,700+ signatures)→ The financial literacy gap keeping self-employed mothers trapped

Michelle eliminated the full-time nanny. Does all school pickups. Runs 7 companies from monthly board meetings.

She's not afraid of hard things. Or paying the price for what she wants. That's how you build both empires and presence.

This isn't about choosing between ambition and motherhood. It's about integration.

Five hours at York Railway Museum with my 2 and 4 year old kids. Countless moments of just... waiting. But in those margins—while our children explore, play, chase each other—something unexpected happens: we find our people.

Dr. Seuss called it "The Waiting Place" in Oh, the Places You'll Go! A place where everyone's stuck, just waiting for something to happen. It sounds depressing. Unproductive.

But for parents? The waiting place is where we find each other.

In this episode, I talk about the silent agreement between parents: our time is at the mercy of our children, so we skip small talk and go straight to the real stuff. Within minutes, strangers become confidants. We talk about tiredness, impossible juggling acts, guilt, identity—the things we're scared to say out loud anywhere else.

Then the kids run off, the conversation ends, and we'll probably never see each other again. But we knew that going in. So we cram intimacy into stolen minutes—because that's all we've got, and it's all we need.

The waiting place isn't where we get stuck. It's where we find connection. The margins aren't empty—they're full of people who get it.
