Description

f you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting less — fewer hours, fewer expectations, less pressure ? This episode is for you.

Especially if your life looks fine on the outside, but inside something feels tight.

In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, I share a real moment from my own working-mum life from standing in my kitchen, staring at a full calendar, and being asked to give more at work in order to be taken seriously.

We explore the quiet inner conflict many ambitious mothers feel, the brave question that helped me reframe my career decisions, and why wanting less is not a lack of ambition but often a sign you’ve outgrown the structure you’re in.

This reflective, end-of-year episode is for mums navigating career pressure, identity shifts after motherhood, and the feeling that something needs to change without burning out, quitting impulsively, or forcing a decision.

  • Why wanting less can trigger guilt for ambitious working mums

  • The difference between ambition, capacity, and burnout

  • A simple but powerful question to help with career clarity after motherhood

  • How joy and energy return when you stop forcing “more”

What is one commitment in your life that’s quietly costing you more than you want to pay?

You don’t need to answer it today. Just notice.

If this episode resonates and you’re standing at a career or life crossroads, you’re warmly invited to the Soul Goal Party! A calm, reflective space to reconnect with yourself and explore what comes next, without hustle or pressure.
