This week we're following up from the 5day mini series on How to create more balance as a working mum.

How often do you find yourself feeling frustrated? Is it a constant low level thing or does it come and take over every so often?

This week I am sharing one of the most valuable lessons that I have learned yet. That if I want other people to value my time and energy then first I have to value them too

This is a longer episode than usual because we couldn't stop talking! I'd love for you to join us for a passionate and enthusiastic discussion. We cover perfectionism, living in tune with our cycles, celebrating our feminine energy, how to start bringing more comfort and ease into your every day life and finding moments of calm in the chaos.

With many of my clients I see the same challenges cropping up again and again. Much of it centres around always being busy and never having enough time to get everything done, never having the time to make the changes you want and never having enough time for yourself.

In this episode I'm speaking with Elizabeth Willetts of Investing in Women. Liz has recently founded the UK's most female friendly job board that is focused on providing flexible and part time working for parents in financial services.

Do you recognise that nagging feeling of wanting more? You feel grateful for all you have but yet there's always this little nagging voice somewhere inside?

Do you feel like you take on more than your fair share of the mental load? Are you the only one who seems to remember all the stuff that needs done, by when and by who? Is it making you fed up and frustrated?

This was a super fun episode to record. I am talking to Marta Buist, a yoga teacher who has very much integrated the philosophies of yoga into every aspect of her life. It has shaped her approach to work, to family life and herself. What she learned from her yoga practice has guided many of the big and important decisions in her life as well as her every day intentions.

This week I am talking about when and why we resist doing he things we need the most. Maybe you crave some headspace and tell yourself that you'll do a bit of meditation, but then never get round to it. Maybe you want more connection with your partner but end up feeling irritated and further apart. Maybe you want to socialise more and sign up to an online class but then dip out at the last minute.

This week I speak with Siobhan Fisher, founder of These Little Fish. Upon returning to the corporate marketing world after having her daughter Siobhan found that something had shifted.

Episode 10 marks what should have been the end of the first season. But I am enjoying this all too much and so have made the decision to carry on! And it feels really good. I feel so excited to share more content and wonderful guests with you over the coming weeks.

In this week's episode we are talking women's pelvic health. This is a topic that I find is not widely discussed and often not comfortable to talk about. Fiona is a specialist in pelvic health during pregnancy, post-natal and beyond. She shares a wealth of information ranging from:

This week is my first ever in person interview with my husband, Dave Riley. We talk about our two different approaches to parental leave following the birth of each of our sons, three years apart.

Our energy levels are likely fluctuating more than usual just now as life on the Corona coaster continues. We are not designed to be at full throttle all of the time. Especially as females our energy levels are governed by hormone fluctuations during our menstrual cycle. Even if you do not have a regular menstrual cycle you can make use of a seasonal way of working.

In this episode I talk about the importance of taking time out for yourself in amongst all of the busyness. In December I experimented with doing more of the things that I loved and was reminded of these three things:

This episode is recorded on New Year's Eve 2020. We talk about the ritual of reviewing the year and deciding what we want to take forward. 2020 has been moments for all of us, whether it has involved progress on a large scale or getting through the day to day.

Mum guilt, anxiety and all the ‘shoulds’ with Manisha Sheth of Nurturing Mama

In this episode I'm delving into what it means to 'have it all'. I talk about why having it all looks different for each one of us as it is a unique blend of all the things that light you up. Finding your have it all is what will lead to the feeling of balance in your life. Similarly when your life is very much out of alignment with what you actually want you will feel very far from balance.

In this episode I’m joined by Susan Wallace, founder of Settled Petals. Susan is a certified sleep consultant and also offers classes in baby massage and baby yoga. Together her services are designed to promote relaxation and contentment in babies and infants. She also offers potty training workshops for parents of toddlers.
