Mother Tongue

Mother Tongue

Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes. I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it. Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything. Mother Tongue isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect. It’s about feeling less alone, better informed, and more grounded in the choices you’re making - whether you’re building a business, raising children, starting again, or simply trying to make sense of the season you’re in. New episodes weekly. Listen in, wherever you are.

    The Real Science of Longevity: Heart Health, Ageing Well & What Actually Works with Dr. Sladana Pavlovic

    Longevity has become one of the biggest buzzwords in wellness, but how much of it is actually backed by science? Dr. Sladana Pavlovic is an Internal Medicine specialist at HealthBay focused on cardiovascular health, metabolic ageing, and what genuinely extends healthy years, as opposed to what just extends a marketing budget.

If you've ever wondered whether that supplement, that biohack, or that expensive test is actually worth it, this episode is for you.

    Prevention Over Panic: Sleep, Balance & Building a Healthier Baseline with Dr. Barbara Karin Vela

    When did looking after our health become so complicated? Supplements. Sleep scores. Wearables. Morning routines. Blood tests. Wellness hacks. We’re surrounded by advice about how to live longer, sleep better and feel better - but sometimes it’s hard to know what actually matters. We’re joined by Dr. Barbara Karin Vela, Family Medicine Physician at HealthBay, to talk about the things we should actually be paying attention to when it comes to our health - especially before something feels wrong. We get into the “silent” conditions that can develop without obvious symptoms, why knowing your blood pressure is more important than you might think, how much sleep we really need, stress and recovery, supplements, deficiencies and whether all that wearable tech is actually helping us… or just giving us something else to worry about. And then there’s something so many of us struggle with: finding time for ourselves when life, work and motherhood already take up so much of it. So… have we made looking after our health far more complicated than it actually needs to be? This episode might just make you rethink what “looking after yourself” really means.

    Beyond Calories: The Gut-Brain Connection, Stress Eating & Real Immunity with Dr. Sara Abdelghany

    Bloating, cravings, emotional eating, low energy, poor immunity… could more of it be connected to our gut than we realise? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sara Abdelghany, Clinical Dietitian at HealthBay, to talk all things nutrition, gut health and our relationship with food. We unpack the gut-brain connection and how everything from stress and anxiety to bloating, cravings and immunity can be linked to what’s happening in our gut. We also get into SIBO, dysbiosis, emotional eating, portion control, intermittent fasting and why eating “healthy” doesn’t always mean your body is getting what it needs. Dr. Sara shares some really practical advice on building meals that actually keep us full, the importance of protein, fibre and healthy fats, why we need to stop fearing foods like potatoes, and the small changes we can make to better support our gut, hormones and overall health. If you’ve ever felt confused by all the conflicting advice around gut health and nutrition, this is the episode for you. It’s an honest, no-fad conversation packed with practical advice to help you understand what your body actually needs and make nutrition feel a whole lot less complicated.

Dr. Sara Khwaja is a Pediatrician at HealthBay who specialises in early growth and developmental assessment, including the early recognition of autism.

    Skincare, Ageing & Everything In Between with Rosie Osborne

    If you’ve ever stood in front of your bathroom cabinet wondering whether you actually need the retinol, the LED mask, the expensive vitamin C AND the latest treatment everyone on Instagram is talking about… this episode is for you.  This week, we’re joined by skin specialist Rosie Osborne to cut through some of the VERY noisy world of skincare and aesthetics. We’re talking about what actually works, what might not be worth your money, and whether we’re all guilty of doing a little too much to our faces. From retinol, SPF and medical-grade skincare to Botox, lasers, collagen, skin boosters and all those at-home beauty gadgets we keep being influenced to buy, Rosie gives us her take on where to spend, where to save and the treatments she genuinely rates. We also get into ageing (because apparently we start losing collagen much earlier than any of us wanted to hear  ), pigmentation and looking after your skin in the Dubai sun, preventative Botox, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for unhappy skin is… leave it alone. Basically, if you’ve ever Googled “do I actually need this?” immediately before adding another skincare product to your basket, you’re going to want to listen to this one. Consider this your very honest guide to what your skin actually needs.

    The Perimenopause Conversation Every Woman Needs Before 40 with Kat Lebrasse

    Today we're talking about something that, if we're honest, most of us know surprisingly little about... perimenopause. Because if you're anything like me, you've probably blamed feeling exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or just a bit "off" on everything else. Work. Motherhood. Stress. Lack of sleep. Life. But what if it isn't just that? The more I learn about perimenopause, the more I realise how many women are living through it without even knowing they are. We spend years preparing for puberty, pregnancy and childbirth, yet one of the biggest hormonal transitions we'll ever experience is rarely talked about. Joining me today is entrepreneur and Re.her Dubai founder Kat Lebrasse, who is on a mission to change that. Kat shares her own experience of navigating perimenopause, the symptoms she initially dismissed, and the changes that finally helped her start feeling like herself again. We also dive into HRT, hormones, sleep, brain fog, fitness, longevity, peptides and why community is such an important part of this stage of life. And I think that's what makes today's partnership with M&S feel so relevant. As we talk about hormones, body changes and learning to work with our bodies rather than against them, it feels fitting to partner with the new Body by M&S collection. Designed for real women through every stage of life, it's all about helping us feel comfortable, supported and confident in the body we have today. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s or simply want to better understand what's ahead, this is one of those conversations I genuinely think every woman should hear.

Our bodies are constantly evolving. Through pregnancy, motherhood, hormones, changing routines, new seasons of life and everything in between, what feels comfortable and supportive today might not be what worked a few years ago. That's the thinking behind the newly relaunched Body by M&S collection. Designed for real women living real lives, it combines thoughtful innovation with everyday comfort, creating pieces that move with you through every stage of life. Because confidence isn't about changing your body. It's about feeling comfortable in it.

    How to Use AI to Make Work, Life & Motherhood Easier with Shweta Scott

    Today we're talking about something I think so many of us know we should be getting better at... AI. Because if you're anything like me, you've probably opened ChatGPT, asked it to write an email or caption, thought, "this is useful"... and then carried on doing almost everything else yourself. But what I'm quickly realising is that AI can do so much more than that. When you're juggling work, family, appointments, emails, meal planning and the million little things constantly taking up space in your head, AI can actually become an extra pair of hands. From managing your inbox and organising your calendar to taking meeting notes, planning meals and even helping run parts of your business, it's about finding ways to make everyday life feel that little bit easier. And I think that's why today's partnership feels so fitting. Today's episode is proudly sponsored by M&S and celebrates the new Body by M&S collection. Because when we're already juggling so much, feeling comfortable and supported in what we wear should be one less thing to think about. The collection has been designed for real women living real lives, helping us feel comfortable, confident and supported through all the different stages our bodies go through. Joining me today is AI expert Shweta Scott, who has worked in tech and AI since 2019 and now helps mums, founders and businesses understand how to make AI genuinely useful in their everyday lives. Shweta shares how she uses AI as a "second brain", the difference between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, the tasks we should probably stop doing manually, and how to get AI to actually understand you rather than constantly giving you generic answers. We also explore the other side of AI: how we keep our creativity and human connection in an increasingly AI-powered world, what happens when we rely on it too much, and what all of this could mean for the way our children learn in the future. So if "learn how to actually use AI" has been sitting on your to-do list for months, this is a really good place to start.

Our bodies change so much throughout our lives - through pregnancy, motherhood, hormones, work, exercise and everything in between - but how often do we stop and think about whether what we're wearing underneath our clothes is actually working for the body we have today? The newly relaunched Body by M&S collection has been designed for real women living real lives, combining comfort, innovation and confidence with pieces created to support you through every stage of life. Because feeling good isn't about perfection or changing your body. It's about finding pieces that make you feel comfortable, supported and confident in your own skin, so you can spend less time adjusting what you're wearing and more time focusing on what actually matters.

    The Realities of Modern Motherhood and Raising Girls with Helly O’Brien

    I am so excited for today's conversation because I have a feeling it's one that so many of you are going to relate to. I don't know about you, but I sometimes find myself wondering... when did life become so busy? Between work, the school run, remembering PE kits, replying to emails, making dinner, trying to exercise, seeing friends, spending time with our partners, keeping on top of the house and somehow finding five minutes for ourselves... it can feel like we're constantly switching hats. And whilst I absolutely love this season of life, I also think it's really important that we acknowledge just how much women carry. Today's episode is all about the realities of modern motherhood. The invisible mental load, balancing ambition with family life, raising children, relationships, confidence, identity and, perhaps most importantly, remembering that we're women as well as mums. Today's episode is proudly sponsored by M&S and celebrates the launch of their new Body by M&S collection. I actually think it's a really lovely partnership because it's centred around something we don't talk about enough – the idea that confidence often starts with feeling comfortable. When you feel supported, comfortable and good in yourself, it has a ripple effect on everything else. It changes how you show up at work, how you parent and how you feel every single day. And I think that's such an important conversation to be having. Joining me today is the lovely Helly. Helly is the creator behind My Little Loves and has built an incredible online community by sharing family life exactly as it is – honest, funny, relatable and reassuring. She's a mum to three girls, including two teenagers and a younger daughter, which means she brings such a unique perspective on motherhood and all the different seasons that come with it. I'm really looking forward to chatting about what modern motherhood actually looks like, how we raise confident girls, how we balance ambition with family life, and why it's so important that we don't lose ourselves along the way.

Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes. I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it. Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything.
