After two years and over 100 episodes, I am pressing pause on The Resilient Working Mum podcast not from a place of burnout or boredom but from a place of calm and certainty and clarity! In this honest episode, I share why resilience is about having the capacity — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to walk the tightrope of life with strength and intention. I opens up about my own journey through the Good Girl and Achiever identities, and how reclaiming my true identity has helped me let go of pressure, perfectionism, and performance-based worth. I also share what’s coming next: new tools, continued support, and exciting ways for you to keep building your resilience even while the podcast takes a break. In this episode, you’ll Learn:
Why real resilience is not about bouncing back — it’s about preparing for and adapting to challenge How internal balance helps you cope with stress and pressure What it looks like to step away from false identities and choose what truly matters Why I am pausing the podcast — and how I am still showing up for you in new, powerful ways

Replaying conversations in your head steals your time, peace and presence, leaving you analysing what you said, worrying about what someone thinks of you or wishing you had responded differently. In Sign #7 of 10 Signs Your Resilience Is Growing, we dig into why overthinking past conversations can turn into rumination and mental looping, how to tell the difference between useful reflection and unhelpful replaying and why self-trust and emotional resilience help you let conversations end when they end! You will walk away with a simple way to decide whether there is something to repair, learn or release so that you can stop staying stuck in conversations that have already happened and bring your attention back to the life you are actually living. Resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a skillset you can build. ___________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or unable to switch off?

Uncertainty can trigger overthinking, anxiety and a desperate need for control, particularly when you’re used to being capable, organised and having a plan. In this episode, we talk about the sixth sign that your resilience is growing and it is that you can trust yourself in the inevitable uncertainty of life. We unpack why not knowing what happens next can feel so uncomfortable, how intolerance of uncertainty can lead to worrying, reassurance-seeking and trying to control outcomes, and why growing resilience means learning to trust yourself even when you don’t have all the answers. Find out how self-trust and emotional resilience can help you stay steady in uncertainty, take the next wise step and respond to whatever happens next without needing to predict or control it first. Resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a skillset you can build. ________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or unable to switch off?

That relentless feeling that you should be doing more, achieving more or proving yourself can create an enormous amount of pressure. In Sign #5 of 10 Signs Your Resilience Is Growing, we dig into why high-achieving women can tie their self-worth to performance, productivity and other people’s approval and why the feeling of “enough” keeps moving. Listen in to find out how contingent self-worth contributes to stress, overthinking and exhaustion, and how building emotional resilience and self-trust can help you work hard, care deeply and pursue what matters without constantly needing the outcome to prove that you are worthwhile and valuable. Resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a skillset you can build. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or unable to switch off?

Do you manage to say no...but then find yourself spending the next few hours feeling guilty, overthinking it or worrying about what the other person thinks? In Sign #4 of the series 10 Signs Your Resilience Is Growing, we explore why setting boundaries can feel so uncomfortable, particularly when your identity has been built around being helpful, reliable or easy to depend on. Discover why a healthy “No” can still trigger guilt, how people pleasing and fear of disappointing others keeps you saying yes and why learning to say no and move on is a powerful sign of growing self-trust, psychological flexibility and emotional resilience. Resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a skillset you can build. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or unable to switch off?

As a working mum with a demanding job and a home to run, do you find yourself overwhelmed and exhausted by the responsibility of keeping everyone happy, fixing problems and making sure everything gets done? In Sign #3 of 10 Signs Your Resilience Is Growing, we explore the difference between responsibility and over-responsibility and why driven, high-achieving, capable women can find themselves taking on far more responsibility than is truly theirs to hold. Discover how people pleasing, identity pressure and over-functioning can contribute to stress and exhaustion and how building emotional resilience and healthier boundaries can help you move towards cleaner responsibility: caring deeply without feeling responsible for fixing everything or everyone. Resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a skillset you can build. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or unable to switch off?
