Health Home Hustle Monica Welburn-Leggett

As per tradition, the last episode of this season is a solo!
In this episode I’m reflecting on 2023 using my favourite framework: Health Home Hustle.
I’m sharing snippets of my health journey, including a few notes on pregnancy, what we’ve updated in our home so far and what I’m hoping to update in the future, and then what work has looked like this year and what it’s going to look like (maybe?!) as I embark on my maternity leave.
I hope you enjoy today’s episode and that it helps you to reflect on your own year too, whenever you decide to do so!
Thank you SO much for supporting the show this year! It's hard to put into words just how grateful I am to be able to share the show with you and how much I L O V E welcoming you week in week out! I am excited to be back here with you in 2024 with our special women’s health season.

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Health Home Hustle podcast! Today I am joined by a very special guest: Skin Diligent’s co-founder Tule Park. If you’ve been tuning into the last few episodes of the show, you’ll already be familiar with Skin Diligent as they’re our current show sponsor.
Tule is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ALL things skincare and cosmeceuticals. As you’ll hear in this episode, Tule is forensically interested in health, the interconnectedness of the systems within our bodies, the impact our lifestyle choices can have on our gene expression, and how products and other factors can have an impact on our hormones.
Yes, we’re talking skincare, but we discuss SO much more!
Having worked with a number of Korean cosmeceutical companies earlier on in her career, Tule had a clear vision for a European based cosmeceutical brand, focused on improving skin health, reinforcing the skin barrier, and getting results with intelligent delivery systems for proven active botanical ingredients. The result is Skin Diligent—a beautiful primarily natural cosmeceutical brand which truly delivers on its promises via targeted skincare and supplements.
In this episode Tule and I really deep dive into what it means to have ‘healthy skin’. And spoiler, it may not mean what you think it means!
We address topics including:
- what our endocrine system is, and its relevance when it comes to skincare choices
- sensitive skin, what it means and how you can still use products which include wonder-ingredients like Vitamin C
- the difference between moisturisation and hydration
And so much more!
This episode is a BIG skincare deep-dive which may just change your perception on what having ‘healthy-looking’ skin really means.
Enjoy!

Please join me in welcoming hair expert Oli Leggett to the Health Home Hustle podcast!
Today’s show is all about hair health, and for our interview I was able to call upon an expert very close to home—my husband Oliver Leggett, more warmly known as Oli.
Oli has been in the hairdressing industry for almost two decades. During that time he trained with one of the UK’s most prestigious salon groups. His career history includes a teaching chapter for L’Oréal, during which time Oli toured the UK and Channel Islands teaching hairdressing techniques for L’Oréal.
Oli now splits his time between private clients and the award-winning Lord Hair salon in Winchester.
In today’s episode Oli answers your questions from Instagram about *all things hair*, from:
which products to use for which hair type how to find a hairdresser you trust postpartum hair loss and so much more!
Oli dives deep into answering your most pressing hair questions!

Today I am joined today by my dear friend and frequent collaborator, photographer, Charlotte Bryer-Ash!
Charlotte’s is one of the UK’s leading wedding photographers and is revered for her natural elevated photography style. Charlotte is also a branding photographer, specialising in capturing brand founders, predominantly female entrepreneurs, as well as helping brands to create banks of beautiful stock photography for their marketing and social media needs.
I invited Charlotte onto the show today to learn from her experience as a creative business owner. Prior to taking on photography full-time, Charlotte worked in the corporate world. As you’ll hear in the show, Charlotte was super strategic about her exit from corporate life and has navigated peaks and troughs in her entrepreneurial journey which we get into today.

In today’s episode Charlotte and I cover:
advice for creating an exit strategy from a job you don’t enjoy how to set yourself up financially and skills-wise as a creative entrepreneur confidence tips for navigating seasons when you may feel insecure in your business choices
+ so much more! This is an inspiring and uplifting episode, perfect for anyone thinking of launching their own business, anyone navigating a career transition or looking to up their confidence in their own creative endeavours.

And we’re BACK! Welcome to the second half of Season 3 of the Health Home Hustle podcast!
 
In today’s episode I am diving into all things autumn and how we can embrace the change of seasons for an ultimate autumn re-set!
 
For me, September is the ‘second new year’ and as such I like to use this time of year to draw a line in the sand, reflect on the year so far and find my feet again for the final quarter of the year. And (whisper it!) into the new year too . . . !
 
This episode is perfect for you if you’re:
in need of a re-set want a framework to follow LOVE autumn  
I also share your answers from Instagram as to exactly what you’re most looking forward to this autumn season!
 
This is a fun all-the-autumn-feels episode! I hope that it helps you to embrace the season of change, dial up your Hallmark-movie-viewing vibes and make this a fantastic end to the year.

Let’s talk all things career! Specifically, how you can align your career ambitions with your life ambitions. And how not to burn out while in the pursuit of both! In this week’s episode I’m welcoming Dr Sam Lynch, affectionately known as Sam, to weigh in on the subject.

Sam is an academic, business innovation lead, marketer and working Mum. Sam leverages her experience to help high-achieving women to have fulfilling careers and enjoy the experience along the way!

Whether you are in your early career, heading for the Board, an academic, exploring a side-hustle, a new/working mum, an employee or entrepreneur, Sam’s personal brand and career strategy framework is designed to help you work smarter and help you deliver on your career goals. Sam describes herself as “a personal trainer but for your career.”
During our conversation Sam and I talk about pursuing a career which works for you, and what you want from life. We cover how to get clear on your career goals, achievable steps you can take to see real change, negotiation and much more.

Sam and I also talk about big life shifts like preparing for parenthood. Our whole conversation is about aligning your career ambitions with your life ambitions and working towards your aspirations without burning out. And as part of that we touch on one of my favourite topics—how to work smarter, not harder—and how to take control of your day to day.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your career, you want to progress or pivot or start a side-hustle, Sam shares SO much valuable advice you can put into action right away.
