Mothers In Business

This week I'm joined by Michelle Cooney, mum of two, personal trainer, and online health coach who's on a mission to help busy mums lose weight in a way that actually fits their real life. Michelle's story starts somewhere a lot of women will recognise. She spent years chasing skinny and when she got there, it didn't make her happier or healthier. That turning point is what dro...

If you've been feeling flat, foggy, unmotivated or just off and you can't figure out why,  this one's for you. Sometimes it's not mindset. Sometimes your body is just trying to tell you something. I've always been the person who loves to work. Motivated, creative, all in, that's just me. So when this year rolled around and I couldn't find my groove, I knew someth...

We spend so much time talking about building wealth, growing businesses, buying homes, creating freedom and creating a life we love… but what about protecting it? In today’s episode, I sit down with estate planning lawyer Angie for a refreshingly practical (and interesting!) conversation around wills, estate planning, protecting wealth, and the things most people assume are already sorted… but oft...

In this episode, I’m joined by Claire Rush,  a mum of three who built her sunscreen brand from the ground up, all while working three days a week in a corporate role. What I loved about this conversation is how real it is. Claire shares the behind-the-scenes of the two years it took to bring her product to market, the decisions, the patience, and the consistency required when you’re building somet...

This episode is a powerful, honest conversation that goes far deeper than business. I sat down with Alyssa Ward to unpack her story and everything that shaped the woman she’s become. We talk about the unexpected loss of her dad in a truck accident, and how that moment shifted everything. The decisions she had to make. The identity she had to let go of. And what it really looked like to walk away f...

This is Part 3 of my Signature Series and it’s the piece that ties everything together. In Part 1, we spoke about your calendar. In Part 2, your fitness and health. And in this episode, we go into the most important layer… you . Your results are built from your identity, your habits, and the way you start your day. This episode breaks down how to create a morning routine you actually crave to wake...

Part 2 of my Signature Framework Series, and today we’re stepping into the standard required when it comes to your body, energy, and how you operate as a woman in business. It’s about performance. The way you train, fuel your body, and take care of your health directly impacts your focus, decision-making, and the way you show up in your business and life. Your energy is felt before you even speak....

Welcome back to the podcast. This is Part 1 of 3 for a mini series where I’m taking you inside my signature framework, the same framework I use with my private 1:1 clients. While this framework can be expanded and tailored in so many ways depending on the woman I’m working with, what I’m sharing with you here is the foundation and the root of it all. This is about creating structure in your life a...

There comes a point in business where doing more isn’t the answer anymore. You’re already capable. You’re already busy. You’ve built something.  But behind the scenes… it feels heavier than it should. Your calendar is full, but not intentional.  Your energy is inconsistent.  And your days feel reactive instead of structured. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real shift that needs to happen if...

How you dress is how you show up. I break down why getting dressed with intention can completely shift your energy, confidence, and productivity especially as a woman balancing business, motherhood, and everything in between. We cover identity shifts, changing bodies, wardrobe staples, and simple systems to make your mornings easier. This is about leading yourself first, and it starts in the morni...

I share what im business at the end and it all makes sense when you listen right through from the start. This is a great episode for anyone new here, or for those who have been following along and want a deeper understanding of what I’m creating and why. I’m taking you behind the scenes of my journey and how each season has shaped the woman I’ve become. From my early years in sport, through to com...

In this episode, I’m sharing what really landed for me after seeing Mel Robbins live and so much of this will relate to you as well.  I open up about being in a transition phase, 35, coming out of five years of working from home while raising kids and that feeling of being in-between… where you know something is changing, but you’re not quite there yet. We talk about: Let Them and Let Me and what...

In this episode, I reflect on how much the personal training world has changed since I first started in the industry back in 2014. Recently I began training with a PT again, and it brought back so many memories of those early days,  the environment, the trends, the mindset around fitness, and how the industry operated at the time. It also made me realise just how much the industry has evolved. Fro...

In this episode I talk about something that helps me so more productive and I know will help you to working with the natural rhythms of life as a woman, a mum and a business owner, rather than constantly fighting against them. First, I talk about working with your menstrual cycle and how much this can influence energy, creativity and productivity. If you want to dive deeper into this, I reference...

I share some reflections on parenting and the learning curve that comes with raising young kids especially when they’re your first and you don’t always know what’s “normal” or what’s coming next. Ive always found myself paying more attention to families with kids slightly older than ours and taking mental notes on the stages and what theyre doing.  It’s a reminder that parenting is a constant lear...

For my husband’s 40th, I planned an entire surprise weekend, in this episode I share the itinerary, links to every spot we visited, and why intentional experiences matter so much in this season of life. 🎲 Romantic Date Cards Temu Date Cards: https://www.temu.com/nz/40--for-date-night-romantic-couple-games-party-entertainment-fun-activities-ideal-for-couples--date-nights-ideal-for-parties-party-ga...

This year has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. With Jackson starting school and stepping into a new role selling and designing new homes, our routines have shifted. There’s been friction. Highs and lows. Moments of gratitude and moments of “what am I doing?” In this episode, I share what this season is teaching me  about grounding myself daily, about finding gratitude in the chaos, and about...

Off the cuff episode. Jackson and Nickson are so close in age, yet this season has shown me just how differently time can feel for each of them. One has started school, stepping into independence, new routines, and a whole new world. And I didn’t expect how emotional that transition would be. There’s something about watching your child walk into their next chapter that stretches your heart in ways...

I’m sharing a update on what life has looked like lately, including stepping into a brand-new homes consultant sales role and how that opportunity came onto my radar. I talk through the bigger picture behind this decision, referencing my long-term vision and goals (including what I shared back in Episode 27), and why having a clear vision, both individually and with your partner, is so important w...

Welcome back to another episode. This season, I’m getting radically focused on just two things : scaling my income and business + getting hot AF , lean, strong, and in the best shape of my life. With my firstborn starting school, life has officially shifted. I now have one child in and one out, which has forced a new level of structure, boundaries, and intentionality with my time. I’m balancing a...

I’m opening up a little more over the next few months with some fun, “get to know me” episodes and today’s one is such a good place to start. In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind the three joint accounts I’m part of with friends and family, and how they’ve helped us create fun holidays, weekends away, and the little adventures that make life feel richer. These accounts have paid for so ma...

This episode is a deep dive into the exact steps that helped me drop 7kg this year most of it since September, without obsession, restriction, or burnout. I share the honest habits and health routines that helped me finally feel strong, energised, and in control again. I talk through the three pillars that made the biggest difference for me:   ✔ Consistent movement — Pilates for strength + mobilit...

As we step toward 2026, I want to invite you into a powerful reflection: What opportunities have you said “no” to this year… and what did that open the door for? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the three months where I sat in a long, uncomfortable pause, questioning timing, questioning alignment, and wondering if I was missing something. And then, as it so often does, the perfect...
