Stop Calling It Luck! The Truth Behind Working for Yourself.
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 comparison. It’s about showing a more honest side of freelancing and entrepreneurship that often isn’t seen, and reminding anyone in the same position that they’re not alone in it.Sound familiar?

How To Be Happy - In Real Life
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 everyday moments, meaning, and engagement, and how these show up in real life as a parent and business owner.This isn’t about chasing constant happiness or getting everything right. It’s about learning how to notice and create more of the things that already make life feel good, even in the middle of busy, imperfect days.

Why Hobbies Are Important
When life gets busy, the things we do just for ourselves are often the first to go.In this episode of The Pursuit of Abundance, I explore why hobbies and small moments of enjoyment matter more than we might think - especially as parents balancing work, family, and everything in between.We look at the idea that having something that’s just yours can help rebuild confidence, improve wellbeing, and reconnect you with who you are outside of your roles and responsibilities.If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost a part of yourself in the busyness of life, this episode is a reminder that it doesn’t have to be big - even small moments of joy can make a difference.

Identity Shifts - Rebuilding Confidence After Change
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 rebuilding from where you are now - not going back, but moving forward in a way that fits your current life.If you’ve been second-guessing yourself or feeling a bit disconnected from your professional confidence, this episode is a reminder that you’re not starting from scratch — you’re just finding your way again, and from an even stronger place than before.

Why Productivity Has To Fluctuate
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 look the same.We’ll touch on how things like your cycle, your environment, and your current life season can all impact how you show up — and why learning to adapt, rather than force productivity, can actually help you move forward with less pressure and more clarity.If you’ve ever felt frustrated for not being able to do it all, all the time — this episode is for you.

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 their own happy places - from quiet moments to small rituals that bring them joy. By the end, you’ll be guided through a short visualisation to help you notice your own personal happy place, even in the busiest of days.
