Charlotte Haggie

The Resilient Working Mum A podcast for high-performing working mothers - and the organisations that rely on them - navigating pressure, performance, and the invisible load of modern work and life. You might look like you’re coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or constantly “on call” behind the scenes. This is where we make sense of that experience and change it. The focus of this podcast is on the internal patterns shaping how you think, respond, and show up at work and at home. I’m Charlotte Haggie, resilience specialist, coach, and working mum. I help high-achieving women build the capacity to stay steady under pressure so that they can think clearly, lead effectively, and be present in the moments that matter. Inside this podcast, we move beyond surface-level solutions like time-management and organisation. You’ll learn how to: • stay focused and make clear decisions under pressure • respond with intention • build self-trust and emotional stability • reduce the mental load that drains your energy • sustain high performance over time For leaders and organisations, these conversations offer insight into the drivers of burnout, disengagement, and retention risk in high-performing women, along with a clearer understanding of what supports long-term performance and wellbeing. This is about developing the capacity to handle complexity, pressure, and responsibility with clarity, steadiness, and control.

    137 | What Every Leader Needs to Understand About Working Parent Burnout with Kenyada Meadows

    What if burnout isn't simply the result of having too much to do, but of the way we've been taught to define success? In this episode, I sit down with former Wall Street executive, Master Certified Executive Coach, and author Kenyada Meadows to explore the hidden cost of high-performance culture. We talk about why so many capable people tie their worth to their work and how the pressure to constantly achieve can impact our relationships, parenting, and wellbeing. Kenyada shares how becoming a father and navigating the demands of senior leadership transformed his understanding of strength, introducing a new model of leadership rooted in presence, balance and emotional integrity. Whether you're a working parent, a people leader, or simply trying to build a more sustainable life, this conversation will challenge the way you think about success and what it truly means to lead well.

    136 | Tired of 'Managing' Your Stress? Try This Instead

    If you've tried all the stress-management advice and still find yourself overwhelmed, reactive, overthinking or unable to switch off, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore how pressure shapes the way high-achieving women think, feel and behave over time, often creating patterns that begin to feel like personality traits. You'll learn why stress is about more than workload, how emotional habits become deeply ingrained and why building resilience is different from simply managing stress. If you're tired of coping and are ready to understand what's really driving your stress, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on change, self-trust and lasting resilience. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?

    135 | One Way to Feel Less Exhausted TODAY!

    Have you ever noticed how you can spend time with some people and leave you feeling energised while other people leave you completely drained? In this episode, we explore why other people's energy affects you more than you realise and how your nervous system constantly responds to the emotional states of the people around you. You'll learn why high-achieving women often absorb stress, tension and emotional pressure from colleagues, family members and children, how this contributes to overwhelm, reactivity and exhaustion and why resilience begins with the ability to regulate your own internal state. Whether you're a working mum, leader or professional woman navigating competing demands, this episode will help you understand the powerful connection between nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, leadership and sustainable performance at work and at home. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?

    If you’re a high-achieving working woman who feels responsible for everything at work and at home, this episode will help you understand why.
