You Are Not Lazy - This Is Your Permission To Rest 03.06.2026 11:30
We live in a world that constantly tells us to keep going, push harder, and stay productive - even when our bodies and minds are asking us to slow down. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I talk about the guilt so many of us feel around resting, especially as parents, business owners, and people trying to juggle everything at once. After feeling completely run down myself, I was reminde...
Gratitude Changes Everything - Finding Everyday Magic 27.05.2026 16:26

In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , we explore how gratitude can shift the way we experience everyday life. From quiet moments at home to simple routines, laughter, connection, and small pockets of calm, happ...
Who Really Shows Up When You Start a Business 20.05.2026 19:40
One of the most surprising parts of running a business is realising who actually supports you. We often assume it’ll be family and friends cheering the loudest, sharing our work, buying from us, and encouraging us every step of the way. Sometimes they are, but often the people who understand and support you most are other business owners who know exactly what it takes to put yourself out there. In...
Working From Home - Is It Actually Right for You? 13.05.2026 20:24
Working from home can sound like the ideal setup - more flexibility, no commute, and the ability to fit work around family life. But after 11 years of working remotely myself, I’ve realised it’s not always as straightforward as it looks. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I share the pros and cons of both working from home and being office-based, from flexibility and freedom to blurred...
The Invisible Load - Why Your Brain Never Switches Off 06.05.2026 23:45
Many parents carry more than just the visible tasks of family life - They carry the mental load. The constant remembering, planning, organising, and anticipating that often happens in the background, without anyone else noticing. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I explore what the mental load actually is, why it so often falls more heavily on mums, and what research tells us about how...
Stop Calling It Luck! The Truth Behind Working for Yourself. 29.04.2026 18:13
It’s easy to look at someone working for themselves and think it’s luck - flexible hours, freedom, doing things on their own terms. But the reality is often very different. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I talk honestly about what it really takes to run a business alongside parenting and everyday life - and why it’s not something that just happens by chance. This isn’t about compari...
How To Be Happy - In Real Life 22.04.2026 17:26
We often think happiness is something we’ll feel when life finally slows down or falls into place - but what if that’s not really how it works? In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I explore what actually contributes to a happier life, drawing on research from positive psychology and long-term studies on wellbeing. We look at the things that matter most - like relationships, small everyda...
Why Hobbies Are Important 15.04.2026 14:56
When life gets busy, the things we do just for ourselves are often the first to go.

We look at the idea that having something that’s just yours can help rebuild confidence, improve wellbeing, an...
Identity Shifts - Rebuilding Confidence After Change 08.04.2026 15:11
Big life changes can quietly knock your confidence. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I talk about what it feels like when you don’t quite recognise yourself anymore - whether that’s after having a baby, time away from work, or other shifts in life and identity. We explore why confidence can dip during these seasons, and why it doesn’t mean you’ve lost who you are. This is about rebuil...
Why Productivity Has To Fluctuate 01.04.2026 15:20
We’re often told to be consistent, productive, and “on it” all the time — but real life doesn’t work like that. In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , I explore the idea of working with your energy instead of against it. From natural fluctuations in focus and motivation, to the reality of balancing business with family life, this is about understanding that not every day (or season) will lo...
Where Is Your Happy Place - Prioritising Your Pursuits 25.03.2026 20:53
In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance , we explore the idea of a “happy place” - those little pockets of magic that help us reset, reconnect, and feel more like ourselves. I share reflections on why it’s so important for parents to find moments for themselves, as well as moments of connection with their children, and why both can matter. I’ve also included voice notes from others haring thei...
