28: Defining Success on Your Own Terms with Teresa Heath-Wareing

In 2024, Teresa launched her signature programme 'Grow Launch Sell', bringing together her depth of experience to help entrepreneurs build profitable online businesses in a way that feels aligned, sustainable and human - moving away from one-size-fits-all solutions and towards thoughtful, supported growth.
In this open and generous conversation, we explore:✨ Teresa’s journey from single parent to building a globally recognised online business✨ Navigating divorce, motherhood and entrepreneurship at the same time✨ What it really means to “burn the boats” and fully commit to your business✨ Why success must be defined personally, not dictated by the online space✨ Balancing ambition, wellbeing and family life✨ The power of community, honesty and bespoke support in business growth

27: Dr. Tuesday on Navigating the Messy Middle of Modern Motherhood

This week on Mum Means Business, I’m joined by Dr Tuesday Watts-Overall - an Essex-based academic psychologist, speaker, writer and self-described recovering perfectionist whose work explores the real emotional experience of modern motherhood.
Tuesday has built a deeply engaged online audience by choosing honesty over polish in a space where so many mothers feel pressure to curate perfection. Her work brings compassion and depth to feelings women often keep hidden, helping to reshape how we understand - and talk about - maternal mental health.
Drawing on her doctorate in psychology alongside counselling skills, hypnotherapy, hypnobirthing and postnatal mental health training, Tuesday supports women through identity shifts, big transitions and the unraveling and rebuilding that so often comes with motherhood.
In one of her pinned posts she writes, “I don’t feel guilty about working whilst my children are small. I see my work as the creative rest I need to be the best mother I can be.”
When I first read that, I felt seen - and that ability to articulate what so many women feel but struggle to say out loud is very much Tuesday’s superpower.
In this honest and validating conversation, we explore:✨ Tuesday’s journey from academia into business✨ The identity shifts that come with motherhood and matrescence✨ Why perfectionism can quietly keep women playing small✨ Redefining work, ambition and success as a mother✨ The role of social media in shaping how we view motherhood✨ Why connection - not performance - is the real catalyst for growth
About Dr Tuesday Watts-Overall:Dr Tuesday Watts-Overall is an academic psychologist, speaker and writer whose work focuses on the emotional reality of modern motherhood. Through research-informed insight and deeply human storytelling, she helps women navigate identity shifts, perfectionism and the complexities of combining motherhood with meaningful work.
Known online as Dr Tuesday, she shares unfiltered reflections on family life, mental health and ambition, creating spaces where women feel less alone and more understood. Her work challenges the idea that mothers must have it all figured out and instead invites compassion, flexibility and honesty.
You can find Tuesday via her website or on Instagram at @iamdrtuesday.

26. Rebuilding Strength and Confidence After Motherhood with Ruth Ashton

As we look ahead to a new year, this week on Mum Means Business I’m joined by Ruth Ashton - founder of RAPT Movement, a personal training business supporting women to rebuild strength and return to exercise safely in the early season of motherhood.
Movement has always been Ruth’s way of managing life’s demands and reconnecting with herself. But after returning to work as a management consultant following the birth of her first baby, she found that exercise no longer felt straightforward. Physical changes, injury and a lack of time made traditional fitness routines feel unrealistic and often unsafe.
Ruth soon realised she wasn’t alone. Many of her friends felt intimidated by gyms and frustrated by fitness messaging that swung between extreme workouts and gentle stretching, with nothing in between. There was a clear gap in support for women navigating postpartum recovery.
In 2024, Ruth qualified as a personal trainer and fitness instructor and began developing a strength-training approach based on what had actually worked for her during her own postpartum running journey. When an opportunity arose to move to Canada with her husband’s job, it felt like the right moment to step away from consultancy and launch RAPT Movement.
Now based in Toronto, Ruth works with women one-to-one both in person and online, offering simple, home-based strength training sessions that fit into real life. Her philosophy is fitness for life - not about getting your pre-baby body back, but about caring for and celebrating the body you’re in right now.
In this thoughtful and practical conversation, we explore:✨ Ruth’s journey from management consultancy to launching a postpartum-focused fitness business✨ Moving countries with a young family and starting a business from scratch✨ Why postpartum fitness advice often feels too generic or unrealistic✨ The physical realities of pregnancy, birth and recovery that women are rarely prepared for✨ How strength training supports long-term health, confidence and resilience✨ The idea of “snack exercises” and how they fit into everyday life with young children
About Ruth Ashton:Ruth Ashton is a personal trainer, fitness instructor and founder of RAPT Movement, a business dedicated to supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum recovery and beyond. Drawing on her background in management consultancy and organisational change, Ruth applies the same principles to fitness - small, realistic shifts that lead to lasting habits.
Based in Toronto, Ruth works with women one-to-one both in person and online, offering accessible strength training designed to fit into busy lives. Her work focuses on helping women rebuild confidence, strength and trust in their bodies at every stage of motherhood.
You can find Ruth and learn more about working with her on Instagram at @rapt.runs.

25: Feeling Safe to Stop People-Pleasing and Be Yourself with Charlotte Bailey

brings honesty and hope to conversations about healing, self-worth and authenticity. Her work centres on supporting women who, as little girls, were made to feel they were too much and who grew up believing they were never enough.
Charlotte knows this story personally. After years of hiding parts of herself to feel worthy, she began addressing the roots of those patterns and found freedom, safety and self-acceptance. Now, she’s deeply committed to helping women - and the little girls watching them - feel safe to be seen, heard and fully themselves.
By exploring people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-sabotage and visibility struggles, Charlotte reminds us that authenticity isn’t about performing confidence. It’s about feeling safe enough to be who we really are.
In this deeply moving and reflective conversation, we explore:✨ The roots of people-pleasing and where these behaviours really come from✨ How perfectionism and anxiety often develop as protective strategies✨ Why we are not our behaviours — and never were✨ The role of therapy in healing self-worth and identity wounds✨ How motherhood can accelerate personal growth and emotional awareness✨ The power of poetry and creative expression in processing and healing
Charlotte also shares a spoken word piece that captures the emotional heart of this episode — a moment that stayed with me long after we stopped recording.
About Charlotte Bailey:Charlotte Bailey is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, speaker and writer who supports women to reconnect with their authentic selves. Through therapy, mentoring, spoken word and her podcast Let’s Talk People Pleasing, Charlotte helps women understand the origins of people-pleasing, perfectionism and self-abandonment.
Her work is rooted in helping women feel safe to be seen, heard and expressed - not only for themselves, but for the children who are watching and learning from them. Charlotte believes that healing ourselves is one of the most powerful gifts we can give the next generation.

24: From Me to We: Thriving Through Motherhood with Rebecca Hogan

This week on Mum Means Business, I’m joined by Rebecca Hogan - a certified life coach who believes that motherhood is feminism’s unfinished business. Through identity-first coaching, Rebecca helps women clarify their values, vision and boundaries so they can evolve through every stage of womanhood with more ease, joy and confidence.
Rebecca has just published her first book, Me to We: How to Rediscover Yourself and Truly Thrive in Motherhood. It guides readers through the profound identity shift of matrescence, inviting mothers to reconnect with who they are as whole, multi-layered women - not just caregivers managing the many demands of modern family life.
Reflecting on the book she writes, “Me to We was born from my own experience of getting swept up in doing all the things for everyone else when I became a mother. I lost my sense of self, which left me feeling stressed, grumpy and at my worst angry and resentful.”
Her work validates the quiet but universal question so many mothers ask: “What about me?”With Christmas around the corner - a season where mums often carry the emotional and logistical load - this conversation arrives at exactly the right moment.
A compassionate reminder that self-abandonment is not a prerequisite of motherhood.
In this grounding and heartfelt conversation, we explore:✨ Rebecca’s journey from corporate life to motherhood to becoming a coach✨ Why balancing career and motherhood is less about strategy and more about mindset✨ The identity shift of early motherhood and the emotional toll it takes✨ The importance of community, connection and honest conversations between mothers✨ Understanding matrescence and why it matters so deeply for our wellbeing✨ What it means to “mother the mother” and how to cultivate self-compassion✨ The creative and emotional process behind writing Me to We
About Rebecca Hogan, Life Coach and Author:Rebecca Hogan is a certified life coach, writer and mum of two. She specialises in identity-first coaching, supporting women through the emotional and practical transformations of matrescence. Her work focuses on helping mothers rediscover who they are, set healthy boundaries and find more ease, clarity and self-compassion in daily life.
Her first book, Me to We, explores the identity transformation that happens in motherhood and offers practical tools to help women thrive rather than lose themselves in the process.

This week on Mum Means Business, I’m joined by Keeley Bolton - jewellery designer and founder of Moon & Dusk, an indie brand creating delicate, celestial-inspired silver pieces designed to help women reconnect with their sparkle.
After years spent raising her two children at home, Keeley found herself slipping into the identity of being “just” a mum.
