Here is a gentler way to turn your story into visibility: work with me and start your Sunny Chapter EditAbout today's episode: What if the guilt you feel when you finally put yourself first is actually proof you're growing?This week I'm sitting down with Gifty Enright - women's leadership coach, author, TEDx speaker, and someone who has genuinely lived what she teaches. After 30 years in corporate, tracking 14 health symptoms on a spreadsheet and running herself into the ground, she went and found her own answers. Now she helps working women and mothers stop burning out and start building lives that actually feel good to be in.We go deep on why so many capable women are secretly running on empty - and it's not a time management problem. It's a self-esteem problem. We talk about guilt and what it's really telling you, why owning your new role as the "chief nappy changer" role might be the most powerful thing you do, and the one micro-step you can take today even if you have zero time and zero energy.What we talk about:The untold power of motherhood and the importance of raising future leadersFilling your own cup is not selfish - it's part of the job. When you run on empty, the people you love most feel it most - your kids.The overwhelm and the doing of a million things is usually a self-esteem issue, not a productivity oneWomen in the workplace - from high functioning to burnoutKnow what you actually want - so many of us are quietly living out someone else's version of successSuperpower Mother: You are a change master.

Tell me your story and build trust: work with me and create your Sunny Chapter EditWhat if the return-to-office mandate isn't about collaboration at all - but about real estate investments and control? This week, we're exposing the truth about why trust is eroding at work, why women are the first to see through it, and how to build your own flexibility before you're forced to react.Companies are demanding you return to the office while simultaneously talking about AI replacing jobs. The math isn't mathing. In this episode, remote work futurist Nola Simon breaks down what's really happening - and how to position yourself ahead of the curve instead of waiting to be managed out.The future of work isn't coming. It's here. And if you're a woman, a mother, or someone building meaningful work without the performance theatre, this conversation matters.Nola Simon, a future of work strategist and remote work futurist, joins the podcast to talk about what's really driving return-to-office mandates, why trust in leadership is breaking down, and how women—especially caregivers and multi-passionate entrepreneurs—are quietly redesigning work on their terms.This isn't about trends. It's about agency, self-trust, and preparing yourself for what's next without waiting for anyone's permission.In this episode, we chat about the future of work for moms:Why return-to-office mandates are really about commercial real estate (not productivity)How trust erosion between employees and leadership is reshaping the workplaceThe hidden pattern women notice first: values vs. behavior gaps in company cultureWhy portfolio careers and flexibility aren't side hustles—they're strategic safety netsHow to practice "everyday futurism" and prepare for change before you're forced to reactThe critical difference between your job title and your actual skill setWhy the most valuable work (connection, ERGs, community building) is still unpaid—and mostly done by womenDon't miss this episode if: You're tired of waiting for work to go "back to normal"You're considering building income streams outside traditional employmentYou're a working mom navigating flexibility, caregiving, and career simultaneouslyYou sense something is off at your company but can't quite name itYou want to future-proof your career without burning outQuick key notes from our interview: Stop waiting for work to go back to normal. Design your own normal. If your job disappeared tomorrow, what would you want your work life to look like? Start moving toward that now.Treat flexibility like a strategy, not a request. Audit your role: which parts truly require you to be in a specific place? Use that clarity to negotiate.Build optionality before you need it. One income stream = one point of failure. Choose one low-pressure way to expand your income and skills this year.Practice everyday futurism. Run scenarios: What if my role changed? What if my company downsized? What skills or income streams would help me feel confident?Trust your pattern recognition—it's a leadership skill. When you notice repeating patterns (disengagement, fear, unclear leadership), use that insight to inform your next move.Separate your identity from your job title. You are more than one role, one company, or one chapter. Your transferable skills travel with you.Build self-trust through small repetitions. Make one decision this month that prioritizes your future self, even if it feels uncomfortable.Connect with my guest: Nola Simonnola@nolasimon.comlinkedin.com/in/nolasimonIf you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loved this episode?

Get Anna's and other weekly playbooks: Join 3,000+ mom entrepreneursTurn your story into influence: work with meI love to start my Sunday mornings with a lie in, morning coffee in hand, piano playlist in the background, candles, reading my book and enjoying the slowness before I start the day. I love doing that on Sundays. I just read the following sentence: “Criticism of the project is not criticism of you. You do not equal the project.”I am reading these lines on page 47 of the book Purple Cow by Seth Godin. I am getting surprisingly emotional. It’s just a small paragraph in a book filled with observations about creative marketing in crowded marketplaces. I am reading… “Being safe is risky”. In the book he points out, that we have been raised with a false belief: that criticism leads to failure. Just think about the school system or the way you grew up in your family. A business that is boring, won’t attract much criticism. It will also not stand out and become highly successful. So, by avoiding negative feedback, by staying safe, I am potentially avoiding success?

The 40-hour work week, the corporate ladder, the "lean in" narrative, basically all of it was built for a world that is crumbling. And working mothers in 2026 are done playing a game they can't win.Anna Lundberg spent a decade building a solopreneur business that runs on 20 hours a week, term-time only. She's present for her two kids. And she earns a great living coaching women who are redesigning their own careers around fractional roles, consulting gigs, and portfolio businesses.We're not talking about creating more work-life balance. It's much more about intentional work-life design. It's about understanding that you don't have to blow up your whole life to build something different. You just have to take one step. And Anna breaks down exactly what those steps look like - taking you from positioning yourself in fractional roles to building a business model that doesn't require you to hustle, perform, or prove anything to anyone.The corporate playbook failed working mothers. So we're writing a new one. And it starts here.What You'll LearnWhy the corporate system is broken for mothers—and why tweaking it with flexible Fridays isn't enough anymoreWhat fractional work actually means—and how it's giving women stability plus flexibility without full-time corporate demandsThe positioning trap senior leaders fall into—why showing "everything you've done" on your resume actually hurts you in freelance and fractional rolesHow to transition while still employed—practical steps to build optionality before burnout or redundancy forces your handAnna's real journey—from her "hippie phase" to 5am client calls with a newborn to her current 4-hour workdaysThe AI advantage for solopreneurs—how technology is finally giving independent workers capabilities that used to require entire teamsThe Solopreneur Operating System—Anna's framework for designing your business, creating demand, and making delivery sustainableResources & LinksAnna's Website: onestepoutside.comSolopreneur Operating System: intentionalexpert.comProgram: Architect (12-week mentoring for solopreneurs)Podcast: Reimagining SuccessBooks: Outside of the 9 to 5 | Leaving the Corporate 9 to 5Connect with Anna:LinkedIn: Anna Lundberg

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 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Loved this episode?

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. On Creating During CrisisWhy Debbie's therapist told her to take a writing course when her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancerHow writing 3,000 words a week gave her control when everything else was spinningThe truth about finishing her book two weeks after her husband diedOn Fear and SpeakingFrom terrified insurance agent to discovering her superpower on stageWhy 85-90% of what we worry about never happens (and the rest is never as bad as we think)The moment she couldn't wait to give her next speechOn Starting at 62Creating sprinkle gift boxes, gratitude journals, and card decks, all brand new venturesWhy "what's next, what's next, what's next" is her favourite questionHow sprinkles became a metaphor for adding joy to life's journeyConnect with Debbie:Website: ⁠www.debbierweiss.com⁠Instagram: @debbie.r.weissTikTok: @debbierweiss⁠Substack⁠Books: "On Second Thought...Maybe I Can!" and "The Sprinkle Effect: A Guide to Creating a More Colorful and Fulfilling Life"Resources Mentioned:The Kelly Clarkson Show appearanceDebbie's viral TikTok video (3.7M views)Free membership + resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MamaWhatsNext.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Assessment: ⁠What's Blocking Your Next Career Move?⁠⁠⁠If you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1:1 complimentary ⁠strategy session⁠ with Melanie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loved this episode?

This is Part 1 of the career and life journey with Debbie Weiss 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.Key Takeaways:Why waiting for the "perfect time" to pursue your dreams means you'll wait foreverThe turning point moment that made Debbie realize she'd lost herself completelyHow she discovered she was creative after spending 50 years convinced she "didn't have a creative bone in her body"The game-changing mindset shift from "I'm not this" to "what if I could be?"Why authenticity on social media (messy hair and all) connects more than perfectionHow one vulnerable speech changed the entire trajectory of her lifeWhat it really means to stop being a victim of your circumstancesQuotes:"I don't want to be that person at the end of my life looking back saying, man, it flew by so quickly and I didn't do what I was here to do.""When you suppress yourself, you're suffering. You're trying to hide because what will people think of you?""If you don't let your true self come through, just realize that you're not reaching and helping the people that you were meant to help.""I'm not creative while literally creating all these amazing things it's so typical for us women, isn't it?"Connect with Debbie:Website: www.debbierweiss.comInstagram: @debbie.r.weissTikTok: @debbierweissSubstackBooks: "On Second Thought...Maybe I Can!" and "The Sprinkle Effect: A Guide to Creating a More Colorful and Fulfilling Life"Resources Mentioned:The Kelly Clarkson Show appearanceDebbie's viral TikTok video (3.7M views)Free membership + resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MamaWhatsNext.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Assessment: What's Blocking Your Next Career Move?⁠⁠If you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1:1 complimentary strategy session with Melanie⁠⁠⁠ Loved this episode?

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. Your story matters, your struggles are valid, and your dreams are worth pursuing.Big hugs x 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 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

Heute gibt es das Intro-Preneur Special mit Nadine Krischke, Teil 1 Nadine Krischke begleitet introvertierte Frauen beim Aufbau ihres Herzensbusiness. Ihr Podcast: Intro-PreneurWorüber sprechen wir? Warum introvertierte Frauen anders gründen und wie der Weg raus aus dem Hamsterrad gelingt. Nadine Krischke teilt ihre Transformation von der Marketingleiterin zum authentischen Business-Coaching.Der Ausgangspunkt liegt bei dir selbstWas willst du? Nicht dein Umfeld, nicht Instagram-Gurus. Deine Werte, deine Vision, deine Aufgabe.Deine Vielseitigkeit ist deine StärkeMulti-passionate? Multi-hyphenate? Das ist kein Fehler, den du reparieren musst. Das ist dein Superpower. (yippee, ich freu mich gleich mit ;-) Ängste sind normal, Lähmung nicht.Zweifel und Unsicherheit gehören dazu. Immer. Problematisch wird's, wenn sie dich komplett blockieren.Gesellschaftliche ErwartungenFamilienmeinungen ("Mach doch was Sicheres!")Innere Glaubenssätze ("Du bist zu sensibel fürs Business")Frauen brauchen andere Ansätze als "Skalier schnell und nimm Tempo auf". Wir funktionieren über Sinn, Erfüllung und Verbindung – nicht primär über Geld.Deine Prioritäten haben sich verschoben? Völlig okay. Du musst nicht von 0 auf 100 durchstarten wie mit 25. Finde dein Modell für deine Lebenssituation.Hochsensibilität und Feinfühligkeit? Du brauchst dir keine dicke Haut zulegen. Diese Eigenschaften sind in einer KI-überschwemmten Welt gefragter denn je.Content-Überschwemmung macht es schwerer, gehört zu werden. Aber: Menschlichkeit wird dadurch noch wertvoller. Echtsein, Verbindung, Vertrauen – das kann keine KI ersetzen.Die Essenz und Key Takeaways:Die drei größten Hürden für Frauen im Business-Coaching sind männliche StrategienAls Mama neu durchstartenBerufliche Neuorientierung für Frauen und MütterDeine stillen Stärken sind Business-Assets KI verändert allesKlingt spannend? Hör rein! PS. heute hatte ich leider kleine Microschwierigkeiten, beim nächsten Mal wieder besser!
