    Wrap up of our first year together on the podcast

    Season two of Building a Mumpire felt different in the best way. Bringing Jess in as co-host changed the rhythm, the energy, and the honesty. We stopped overthinking, we hit record, and real conversations showed up. We covered a wide spread of business topics and real life too, from messy weeks and money wobbles to parenting as teenage mums and, yes, “teenage moms” for those searching. It all landed because you, our community, kept listening, sharing, and telling us what you needed.Leah is packing up for a move, so future plans include a short break, a light refresh, and more of the same straight talk you come here for. Season two became the season wrap-up that proves this show works best as a living room chat, not a lecture. We’ve grown as hosts and humans, and that growth is baked into what comes next.If this season helped you feel seen, do two things today:Hit follow so you catch our update posts while we reset.Tell us your standout moment or the topic you want first when we’re back.

    Ad spend vs. wishing and hoping to go viral

    In this episode, Leah and Jess talked about a topic every business owner has likely wrestled with—ad spend vs. viral content.

    Talking about the early days of business [before we went full time]

    In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the rollercoaster journey of starting their businesses and transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship. Both share personal stories of how they made that leap – Jess, who carefully navigated a side hustle while holding down a full-time job, and Leah, whose path was reshaped by redundancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. For Jess, the transition took about over eight months of hard work and dedication. She talks openly about juggling her job with building her business, how each step gave her confidence to eventually go all in. Leah’s experience, however, was a little different.

This episode highlights more than just the practical steps of starting a business. Leah and Jess discuss the powerful role language and mindset play in owning your entrepreneurial journey. It’s not just about seeing your venture as a “side hustle” but validating it as a legitimate business. The way you speak about and believe in your business can shift how others see it too. They also remind us of the ever-changing nature of entrepreneurship, urging listeners to embrace growth, change, and new opportunities as they come. With a little humour and brutal honesty, they break down the challenges they’ve faced and the moments that tested their resilience, all while emphasising the importance of having a support network, whether that's a partner, friends, or fellow business owners.

This conversation isn’t about perfection but about finding your own operating rhythm as a mum in business.

    Family, friends and social media

    Ever feel like you're drowning in the pressure of needing likes, comments, and shares from your family and friends on social media? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of seeking validation online and how it can strain your relationships. We get real about why relying on family and friends for support might be holding you back, and why building a community of like-minded individuals could be the game-changer you need. In this eye-opening conversation, we explore the often-overlooked pressure of seeking validation from those closest to us on social media. Leah and Jess share personal stories about the impact of needing approval from family and friends, shedding light on how it can create unnecessary stress and affect your self-worth. We dig into the reality that not everyone in your inner circle will understand or support your journey, especially when it comes to your business or personal growth. This episode encourages listeners to shift their focus away from seeking validation and towards building a supportive community that truly gets them. Vulnerability is a double-edged sword—it can either deepen your relationships or leave you feeling exposed. We talk about the importance of being mindful of who you open up to and why it’s crucial to seek practical advice from those who genuinely want to see you succeed, rather than those who might unintentionally hold you back. Let’s start a real conversation.
