Mamas Flight Path

This is one my most listened to episodes because finding your path once you have kiddies is a wild ride! And then returning to work after having children is one of the biggest transitions many women experience, yet it’s rarely talked about honestly.In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, Jools Raye sits down with Jessica Chivers, founder of The Talent Keeper Specialists, to unpack why the workplace still struggles to support parents and what needs to change.They explore the reality many working mothers face when returning to their careers after maternity leave, from identity shifts and guilt to navigating expectations from employers and colleagues.Jessica shares practical insights on flexible work, compressed hours and how organisations can create environments where parents can thrive instead of burn out.If you are navigating motherhood and career, or wondering how to redesign your working life after children, this conversation will resonate deeply.

For years, manifesting felt natural to me.Vision boards. Big goals. Unexpected opportunities. Even meeting my husband felt like something I had consciously called into my life (you can read the full story in this weeks Best Magazine)Then I became a mother.And something shifted. Not just emotionally. Neurologically.Like many women, my brain moved into survival mode. Creativity felt harder to access. Vision felt further away. The dreams I once felt so connected to suddenly felt blurry.In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, I share a surreal moment that reminded me how powerful intention really is. Seeing myself in a magazine triggered a reflection on manifestation, motherhood, and the surprising ways our brains change during matrescence.We explore why manifesting isn’t magic. It’s alignment.When your heart, mind, and actions point in the same direction, life begins to reorganise around that clarity.If you’re a mother in your late 30s, 40s or 50s who feels the quiet pull to redesign your life, reconnect with your ambitions, or simply remember what you want again, this episode will resonate deeply.Because motherhood doesn’t erase your dreams.But it does require you to rediscover them in a new way.• Why manifesting is about alignment, not magic• How motherhood rewires the brain and shifts focus into survival mode• Understanding matrescence and the identity shift after children• Why ambitious mothers often lose clarity on their goals• How visualisation and metaphors reconnect us to our deeper ambitions• Redesigning life and career after motherhoodJoin the Flock Drop Newsletter www.mamasflightpath.com⚠️Disclaimer: This podcast may cause breakthroughs and life enrichment !

In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, Jools explores how the five people you spend the most time with are quietly shaping your standards, mindset, and even your career decisions.After being quoted in the Sunday Times and experiencing a moment of comparison, Jools unpacks a powerful reframe: it’s not about after-school clubs or external success. It’s about the traits and behaviours being normalised in the rooms you occupy.Drawing on neuroscience-informed coaching principles and inspired by Tara Swart’s work on social influence and mindset, Jools shares a practical visual exercise to help you:• Identify the five people influencing your thinking• Recognise which traits you are unconsciously mirroring• Spot where comparison is body data, not failure• Curate your environment to support expansion instead of self-doubt• Make more intentional, sovereign decisionsThis episode is for high-functioning mothers who feel successful on paper but quietly restless, and who want to stop shrinking and start designing their next chapter with intention.Manifesting, in this context, isn’t magic. It’s design. It’s about choosing the rooms that raise your standards.Chapters00:00 The Influence of Surroundings on Mindset06:17 Manifesting and Taking Action for Change resourcesConnect with me www.mamasflightpath.com⚠️Disclaimer: This podcast may cause breakthroughs and life enrichment !

Stop calling it burnout.What if you’re not exhausted because you’re doing too much…but because you’re building a life that doesn’t actually fit.We’re told to hustle. Set SMART goals. Push harder. Optimise everything.And then motherhood hits.And suddenly the goals that once felt powerful feel hollow. Heavy. Like another thing to carry.In this episode, I’m gently but firmly challenging the burnout story.Because sometimes it isn’t burnout.It’s misalignment.It’s building goals that look impressive on paper but don’t feel safe in your body anymore.I’m sharing my Soul Goal framework, rooted in NLP and behavioural science, to help you design goals that feel aligned with your values, your energy and your season of life.Not ego goals.Soul goals.Goals that expand your life instead of squeezing it.You’ll hear:• Why traditional goal setting ignores motherhood completely• The difference between burnout and chronic misalignment• How to design the feeling first, before the strategy• The neuroscience behind sensory visualisation and why it rewires motivation• A simple three-step framework you can use this weekIt’s about designing a life that feels like you again.Because you don’t need more pressure.You need more purpose.Ready to go deeper?If this episode hit something in you, that’s not random.Work with me:If you’re ready to stop optimising a life that doesn’t fit and start building one that does, book in a Vibe Call with me https://calendly.com/hello-mamasflightpath/new-meetingFreebie:Feeling stuck in survival mode?

Feeling stuck in life or work? If you feel unfulfilled, confused, or like something doesn’t fit anymore, this episode will help you understand why.Feeling stuck isn’t a failure it’s often a signal. In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, we unpack the real reason so many mums feel stuck after motherhood, especially in their careers, identity, or sense of direction. More often than not, it’s not a lack of clarity it’s avoiding a change you already know you need to make.I share a personal moment when I realised I wasn’t actually stuck at all I was choosing comfort over fulfilment. If you’ve been overthinking, waiting for the right time, or telling yourself “now’s not the moment,” this episode will help you see what’s really keeping you in place and how to move forward without burning everything down.You’ll hear why feeling stuck is often a sign you’ve outgrown your current life, how waiting for clarity keeps you looping, the difference between fear and intuition, why comfort can quietly block change, and one simple question to sit with this week if something feels off.If this episode resonated and you want support navigating a path less travelled, I've got you.

Layer that with motherhood! That is a whole cocktail the redundeny career coach wasn't prepared for!!In this deeply personal episode, I tell the story of how I went from crying in the loos at work, to navigating the shock of redundancy, to building a soul-led business rooted in purpose, motherhood, spiritual intelligence, and joy.You'll hear how surprising “loose ties” (the people I barely knew and its actually weak ties - sorry!
