The Self Employed Mum Podcast
EP: 44 The postnatal period, motherhood and why new mums need more support
19 JUN. 2024 · There is SO much pressure on new mums to be perfect- to love every minute of that newborn stage, to do everything “right”, for all of it to feel natural and beautiful.
So when it doesn’t, and the tough stuff crops up, we feel like we are doing something wrong. Like we weren’t meant to be mums. Like we are failing.
On next week’s episode of The Self Employed Mum 🎙️ I chat with Susie Dale of https://www.instagram.com/matrescence_club/ and it’s easily the most honest, real, raw chat about motherhood I’ve ever shared.
Susie talks us through matrescence, the evolution of motherhood and the importance of educating, sharing and supporting new mums- as well as lots of honest perspective from her own journey into motherhood as an entrepreneur.

14 FEB. 2024 · Mini episode: Let's talk about why we need to celebrate Galentine's Day and celebrate YOU!
I'm flying solo this Valentine's Day episode to talk about two different kinds of love: self love (I'm talking pride and self care here, not the racy stuff!) and friendship- the real, there for you through the toughest stuff kind of pals.
This episode is all about the importance of: finding your people (ie. a community of likeminded female entrepreneurs), celebrating YOU and your progress, and making time for self care: why it should be a priority- and free of guilt, I might add.
I‘m sharing lots of honest experience on:the loneliness of starting a business in a new country, the struggles of new motherhood and self employment, how I stepped out of my comfort zone to find my people (and then some) and why I’m working on allowing more time for me and celebrating my wins- big, small and any steps forward.
There's a wee bit about the community I co created for female entrepreneurs in Glasgow and across Scotland as well (check out the link sofr Small Biz Big Chat below).
Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with anyone you know who is feeling lonely in this world of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Let's help this community grow!

EP 37: Small Fish Big Pod becomes The Self Employed Mum
9 ENE. 2024 · Small Fish Big Pod is now The Self Employed Mum Podcast!
The podcast is shifting focus- from a female entrepreneurship podcast to a podcast specifically for entrepreneurs who are also mums.
I thought about this a lot, as I don’t want to leave anyone out- I really don’t want to separate women into different categories as we are all figuring this out together.
But running a business while raising small humans is an entirely different ballgame and for those of us who are in the thick of it right now- this is the kind of content we need. The kind of discourse we are passionate about creating and sharing. The kind of conversations we most need to participate in.
So here we are! From now onwards the podcast will share stories, tips and perspective from female entrepreneurs who are also mums- and the topics we cover will be related specifically to the challenges of running a business while raising children.
Listen in more detail above (it's a very short solo episode!)- regular episodes resume next week!

EP36: Decluttering your space- and your business mind- with Elaine McKinlay
23 AGO. 2023 · Clutter- it's hard to avoid it when you're busy and juggling ALL the plates.
For some of us, it's physical clutter in our space. For others, it might be mental clutte. Or disorganization in our business or schedule. For manby of us (me!) it can feel like all of the above.
the good news is- if you acknowledge it, and start working on the causes we CAN start decluttering our lives... and that's what this episode is all about.
This week I chat with Home & Lifestyle Coach and Professional Organizer Elaine McKinlay, who explains why clutter happens, how it affects us, and why it's important to identify and acknowledge where declutter is needed.
Elaine also talks us though her process and shares practical tips and advice for making a start on decluttering our own lives (and businesses!)- and keeping them clutter free.
If you feel like your mind, your home or your business could use some decluttering, this episode is for you!
