Mama, What’s Next? Storydriven interviews for mom entrepreneurs building differently

If you are a multi-passionate mum and entrepreneur, chances are your mind is rarely quiet. Ideas, emotions, plans, to-do lists, responsibilities, and creative sparks all compete for attention at the same time. Creating clarity inside that chaos can feel almost impossible.Especially as a multipassionate creative and mama, there is a never-ending stream of ideas and projects you want to explore. In this episode of Mama What’s Next, Melanie shares a simple daily writing practice that has helped her create calm, focus, and direction as a multi-passionate mum and entrepreneur: Morning Pages, a tool from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.She talks about why this practice feels awkward at first, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how writing by hand helps clear mental clutter, reduce anxiety, and turn scattered energy into focused action. This episode is for multi-passionate mums and women entrepreneurs who feel pulled in many directions and want a grounded way to build a sustainable business without losing themselves in the process.In This Episode, We Talk About:What Morning Pages are and how they workWhy handwriting and stream-of-consciousness writing matterHow Morning Pages reduce anxiety and negative self-talkCreating clarity amid chaos and too many ideasWhy compassion and flexibility are part of the practiceTurning scattered thoughts into focused actionHow Morning Pages support sustainable business growthUsing daily writing to prioritize what truly mattersMentioned in This Episode:The Artist’s Way by Julia CameronMorning Pages (daily stream-of-consciousness writing practice)If you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loved this episode?

Building a business as a multi-passionate mum sounds expansive and fun- until it starts holding you back.In this episode of Mama What’s Next, Melanie speaks about the tension between loving many things and needing to stick with one long enough to grow it. She shares the reality of being good at many skills, why niching down doesn’t always work for multi-passionate mums, and how creating a “brand umbrella” can be a more sustainable way to build meaningful work- without hustle, non-performative, or pretending to be someone you’re not.This episode is for working mums and mom entrepreneurs who are tired of jumping from one thing to the next and are ready to make real growth happen.Examples that are referenced-The Long and the Short of It, a podcast by Peter Sheahan and Jen WaldmanMadison | Entrepreneur (@multipassionatemadison)Seth GodinIn This Episode, We Talk About:Why jumping between ideas makes sustainable growth impossibleThe hidden struggle of being multi-passionate and highly capableWhy being good at everything can hold your business backBuilding a business without niching yourself into unhappinessCreating a brand umbrella instead of forcing focusThe question every multi-passionate mum needs to ask: what do I want to be known for?Why boredom doesn’t mean you should quit — and when it actually doesIf you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loved this episode?

Society gave us work-life balance. We need to give it back.Today I share a little part of my interview I gave on "The Well Nourished Mama" about my journey from multi-passionate marketer to helping mothers navigate career transformations and building meaningful work and businesses.

This is Part 2 of the career and life journey with Debbie Weiss "I never want to stop saying what's next."Guest: Debbie Weiss - Bestselling author, speaker, and creator of "The Sprinkle Effect"What happens when you spend 50 years being the responsible one and suddenly realize you've lost yourself completely?Debbie Weiss spent three decades running an insurance agency, caring for a father with special needs for 30 years, raising a son on the autism spectrum, and supporting a husband battling mental illness. She was the person everyone leaned on. The one who always did the right thing. The one who handled everything.But inside? She was miserable and didn't even know it.At 50, a weekend away with friends changed everything. Debbie realized she'd spent half a century living for everyone else and had no idea who she actually was or what she wanted. Watching her parents live with regret, she made a decision: this wasn't going to be her story. Now, at 62, while her friends talk retirement, Debbie is just getting started. She's a bestselling author with viral TikTok videos (3.7 million views!), has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and is building an entirely new career helping others step out of victim mode and into their authentic lives. Always afraid to speak in front of people she finally pushes through that fear and realizes - maybe that's what she came here in the end.

Today's co-host is my daughter StellaConnecting with your kids can be super challenging at times when you are super busy.  I get it.Instilling discipline into your child's day-to-day routine and even make it fun, can be even more challenging. And yet- discipline is important for success in life.Not just for our kids - for us too.Many successful people cite discipline as their main key ingredient for success. Discipline gets a bad rap but actually - we can really truly free our mind and boost productivity by creating habits and orderliness that in turn create a free mind and strong foundation for success. And don't get me wrong.. I am not a master at this AT ALL.But it turns out.. my 8-year old daughter Stella is. So we created a 30-Day Challenge that did not just show her how fun commitment and discipline can be, it brought us closer together by doing it together. Highly recommend to any mum looking for a fun way to engage and connect with their children, it was SO much fun. And - we both felt an amazing sense of achievement. This little exercise was GOLD in SO many ways.PS.Your NextRemember: You're not doing this journey alone.

What if the key to being a better mom isn't working harder,but taking care of yourself first? Today, meet: Working mom Moriah from Mighty Mama Coaching in Canada, who works in personal training and health coaching specificallyfor moms. She went from feeling trapped at a desk to helping moms discover that their health isn't selfish, it's the foundation their whole family needs. Moriah's journey is beautifully messy and real. She studiedgraphic design, felt like she was in prison sitting at a desk all day, and had the courage to completely pivot. Through life in England, Costa Rica, and raising a toddler, she discovered her true calling: reminding moms that their health is the heartbeat of their whole family.Key LearningsYour Health = Your Family's FoundationShe says: "Your health isn't just your own. It's the heartbeat of your whole family." When moms prioritize their health, it creates a ripple effect that benefits everyone. You're not being selfish, you're modeling healthy habits and showing up as your best self.Make Fitness Fun, Not a ChoreForget intimidating gym culture. When you enjoy something,you'll actually stick with it. Moriah brings joy and playfulness to fitness because sustainable change happens when it feels good.Start Small, Build MomentumDon't try to transform overnight. Even one or two workoutsper week is better than nothing. Small consistent actions build the momentum that creates lasting change.Strength Training Is Non-NegotiableEspecially after having kids. Think about being able tocatch yourself if you slip on ice at 70, or getting up from the floor without help. It's about staying strong and independent as you age.You Don't Need a GymYou can build strength at home with bodyweight exercises orbasic weights. Your living room works just as well as any fancy gym.Community Changes EverythingWe weren't meant to do this alone. Having people whounderstand your journey makes all the difference, whether it's fitness, career changes, or motherhood.Stop the Comparison Game (and important one for all of us) Stop measuring yourself against people who are 20 stepsahead. The right people will be drawn to YOUR unique approach, not the shiny object everyone else is chasing.Trust Your Body and HeartIf something doesn't feel aligned, your career, workout routine, or life choices, then trust that feeling. It's easier to make a change now than stay uncomfortable and miserable forever.3 Mindset Shifts That Helped This Working mom Go from Graphic Designer to Purpose-Driven EntrepreneurYour Next:Remember: You're not doing this journey alone. Your storymatters, your struggles are valid, and your dreams are worth pursuing.Connect with MoriahInstagram: @mightymama_coachingWebsite: mightymama.caTake the Wellness Quiz

Program enrolment this week for 5 days ⁠Join the Priority List now for the 6-Week-Co-Creative WebsiteThis week sharing with you our newest program and explain the thing about websites versus social media: you're building a house on rented land when you rely solely on Instagram and TikTok, where algorithms can decide your visibility and less than 2% of your followers actually see your posts. Meanwhile, your website (if built well) can be your sales person 24/7 and your online HQ where visitors spend focused minutes (not distracted seconds) building trust with you before they buy. The magic isn't in creating the perfect website from day one - it's in building something flexible that grows with your inevitable pivots and changes, because every entrepreneur discovers that businesses evolve through trial and error, not perfection. So this radically different program gives you that independence and ownership, letting you update and adapt without bleeding money to developers every time you need to tweak your positioning or add a new offer, which will happen faster than you think.If you are ready to build now - make sure to join the list so you don't miss the launch this week, enrolment is open for 5 days.

This is a conversation about the divine feminine rising and our mother energyand easily one of the most beautiful conversations I recently had when I was lucky enough to talk with Chris Maddox, founder of the Wild Woman Project, and honestly, I'm still getting goosebumps, when I listened to it now. Chris never planned to create this global movement. She wasjust this young actress in New York City doing a project called "The Vagina Monologues" when she stumbled into her first women's circle. The amazing part is, it only started with 'One vision of golden circles of light' scattered across the world later, and she's now trained hundreds of women in 26 countries to lead their own circles.We talked about:The power of speaking your truth out loud with other women (I can tell you - it's amazing, I just did it with total strangers and have been to a women's truth gathering circle myself recently here in Mallorca and Chris put into words exactly what I experienced) When you sit in that circle and share your deepest fears with women that you don't know, essentially, there's something so magical in this whole experience.It looks so simple from the outside, but you walk away from this experience so strengthened inside. It has really touched me like to my core. Chris says it perfectly: when you speak from your heart in circle and it's witnessed, "it fortifies it in a way that's different than your own personal practice." Those passing pieces of guidance that come through? They become real, tangible, life changing. We talk about her beautiful path from actress to women's circle leader. If you're one of those women, you know, like the seekers, where you're standing at the edge of becoming and sometimes you just can't really grasp the thing just yet. Like you know that there's something there, that something is calling you, but you're not quite there yet... Chris has the most beautiful advice. She talks about cultivating that conscious relationship between your mind and your inner guidance system. "Things take the time they take," she says, quoting Mary Oliver. But while you're being patient with the process, gather the clues. Notice what lights you up, what moves you, what you keep being drawn to.Meet Chris Maddox here: Instagram WebsiteWildwomanfestThrough our hearts and our Circles, from our homes around the world, Wild Women Unite.Free membership + resources: Mama, What's Next? ⁠⁠If you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book a 1:1 free strategy session with Melanie ⁠⁠ Loved this episode?

What I've been doing every morning.. I wake up and before I even get out of bed, I meditate for 10-15 minutes while my daughter is asleep. I put on my headphones and use a Joe Dispenza meditation. Then after I drop her at school, I come home, make breakfast and coffee, and I sit down for just 10 minutes to journal (I really do! before I start anything else)Here is something I started doing in AugustIt's a little thing I borrowed from Brian Tracey. Every single morning, I write down my 10 most important goals like they've already happened. I write them in present tense, with so much gratitude, as if I'm already living them. And I don't look at what I wrote the day before. That's the trick.. then the magic happens.Have a listen, this exercise helped me not just realize what is most important to me currently, it also makes me feel grateful and more confident and supported every morning.Highly recommend!!
