Show Notes
What happens when the dream career opportunity arrives… just as motherhood asks more of you than ever before? In this deeply honest conversation, Zoe sits down with Amy, CEO of Steven Bartlett Private Office, to talk about the impossible equation so many ambitious mothers are trying to solve. From taking a huge new role whilst pregnant, to the tension between career ambition and wanting to be the primary attachment figure for your children, this episode is an incredibly raw exploration of modern motherhood, identity and work. Amy shares the internal conflict so many mothers carry but rarely say out loud: that sometimes we don’t just work for our children, we work because part of us still deeply wants ambition, creativity, challenge and growth too. This is an episode about intuition, guilt, love, matrescence and learning to live inside the contradictions of motherhood. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why motherhood completely changes the way you approach ambition, career decisions and success
The honest reality of trying to balance leadership, ambition and being the primary attachment figure at home
What happened when Amy told Steven Bartlett she was pregnant during the hiring process for her CEO role
How becoming a mother reshaped Amy’s leadership, priorities and understanding of happiness

In this heartfelt conversation, author Vex King joins Zoe to explore people-pleasing, self-worth and why caring for everyone else can leave us disconnected from ourselves. Vex shares the extraordinary story of his mum, who raised three children alone after losing his dad, navigating poverty, homelessness and racism. He reflects on what her love and resilience taught him, and why, as a child, his greatest wish was simply for her to be happy. Drawing on his new book, You Can’t Please Everyone, Vex explains the difference between making sacrifices for the people we love and losing ourselves in the process. He and Zoe explore how to recognise people-pleasing, reconnect with what matters to you and start setting boundaries, even when your voice shakes. If you’re exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy, this conversation is a reminder that your needs, dreams and happiness deserve space too. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: How to recognise when caring for others becomes self-abandonment
