The Mum Boss Method Podcast

I promised you Hot Chats. And that's exactly what I am bringing in this episode.One thing I think we avoid talking about is death and serious illness. And so I wanted to have an open and honest conversation about it.Which is exactly what I had with my guest Jules Minter.Jules started a charity, Junes Wish, after losing both her parents within 6 months of each other to forms of Dementia. Junes Wish is a charity which aims to grant wishes to those in the latter stages of dementia.Find Jules here:https://juneswish.org.uk/https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-jules-minter-2a5ba84/https://www.instagram.com/junes.wish/

Today's chat is with Paula Smith, Transformation CoachWe talk about identity, change, and midlife.You can find Paula hereOr book a call with her here: https://paulasmithcoaching.com/calendar/discovery-callI help capable midlife women who have done everything “right” realise one uncomfortable truth:They’re still not where they want to be.After 35 years in education—including senior leadership and headship—I walked away from a successful career because I could no longer ignore that quiet voice saying, “there must be more than this.”What followed wasn’t just a career change. It was a complete identity shift.Now, through my work, I help women shed the “shoulds” they’ve been living by, get brutally honest about what they actually want, and build the clarity and courage to go after it—without guilt, without permission, and without blowing up everything they’ve worked for.This isn’t about surface-level change.It’s about becoming the woman who leads her life—consciously, powerfully, and on her own terms.Because a different future isn’t something you hope for.It’s something you choose.

Today I spoke to Kat Lord from More to OrganisingKat is a Nanny and has written 3 books:More to OrganisingMore to Education and More to FoodShe specialises in helping families get organised. We had such a great chat, interrupted by a dog barking session which I ended up leaving in!We talked about what it means to be organised and how you can change the way you think about it.FInd Kat here: https://www.moretoorganising.com/threeroutinesworkshop where you can book onto her free workshopAnd on Instagram here: @more_to_organising

Why do we avoid talking about death and dying?I chat with Caro Syson about this topic and we reframe how talking about death and dying can make you LIVECaro Syson is the founder of Your Final Matters. She helps people get their practical affairs organised so that if something unexpected happens, their loved ones aren’t left trying to untangle everything during the most difficult moments of their lives. Caro has a particular focus on women like herself, who often end up carrying a lot of responsibility – including those juggling ageing parents, divorced or single mums, and women running their own businesses. She describes herself as the “Mary Poppins for life and death admin”, helping people get their legal, financial and practical ducks in a row so families can always leave calm, not chaos.Links:Website: https://www.yourfinalmatters.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourfinalmattersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourfinalmattersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-final-matters-uk

If you feel like you’re constantly rushing…From the moment you wake upTo the moment your head hits the pillowThis episode is for you.It’s not just your hormones.It’s not that you need more time.It’s how you’re moving through your life.In peri-menopause, everything can feel harder, your energy, your mood, your body…So what do most women do?They try to go faster.Do more.Push harder.And end up feeling even more behind.In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 shifts I’ve made that have completely changed how I work, live and show up:🔥 Slowing down to speed up (and why rushing is actually slowing you down)🔥 The “hell yes or no” rule that will give you your time back🔥 How to stop overfilling your life and start protecting your time unapologeticallyThis isn’t about doing less for the sake of it.It’s about becoming the woman who is intentional with her time, her energy and her life.The woman who isn’t constantly chasing…But actually feels in control again.If you’re a busy mum navigating peri-menopause and feel like you’re always playing catch-up…Press play.

Ok, we are really overcomplicating peri-menopause weight loss.There is so much confusion out there and honestly it's made me a bit angry so here are the 5 things I want you to focus on.

I have lost just over 3kg or almost 7lbs in the last 5 weeks as a menopausal woman and I wanted to share with you exactly how I have done it.If you want to work with me fill in this application formFind out your calories here

We HAD to do a part 2 because part 1 was so life-changing.Today Talia and I talk shame and guilt, the grief you might feel after a diagnosis and why so many women find out they are neurodivergent in midlife.Plus so much more my ADHD brain can't remember....

One of my clients was told the other day "You can't really rest properly when you have a health & fitness goal"And I completely disagree because rest should be part of your strategy.I think as women we are led to believe you have to punish yourself with exercise and earn your rest and food and I just don't buy into it.

After experiencing anxiety myself I wanted to bring it to the podcast with a guest expert.Gemma is an anxiety and confidence coach working with people who are experiencing anxiety and using a variety of tools and techniques to support them through it.We talk about what anxiety is, how it shows up, why we shouldn't be ashamed of it and how we can help ourselves.Find Gemma here: https://www.instagram.com/iamgemmadonnelly/And check out her website for useful tools https://www.coachingwithgemma.co.uk/freebie

I'm going to tell you about my weekend that spiralled from celebration to overwhelm — and what it taught me about hormones, boundaries, and the myth of being “everything to everyone.”Between an anxious dog, and a husband away in Barcelona, I found myself in tears on the bathroom floor — not because of any one thing, but because everyone needed me and I’d forgotten to leave space for myself.This honest reflection explores:✨ The link between hormones, overwhelm, and emotional burnout✨ The difference between caring deeply and people pleasing✨ Why you’re not responsible for anyone else’s happiness — only your own✨ Small, practical shifts to reclaim your energy and peaceIf you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty or losing yourself in the noise of daily life, this episode is your gentle reminder: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to say “no.”

How to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and finally stay consistent.Feeling like you’re always starting over? You’re not broken — your rules are. In this week’s episode, I break down why strict rules set you up to “fail” and how flexible standards help you stay consistent (even on the messy days).We’ll talk about realistic goal setting, managing expectations, and what it really means to hold yourself to a standard — without guilt or perfectionism.Because you don’t need to do it all. You just need to do what matters, consistently.Want to know how I can help you? Apply Here
