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.

    133 | Doing More, Achieving Less: The Over-Responsibility Trap

We explore why high-achieving women often become trapped in a cycle of over-responsibility, taking on more and more while feeling increasingly overwhelmed, exhausted and ineffective.

Whether you're a working mum, leader or professional woman navigating competing demands, this episode will help you understand why doing more isn't always the answer and how resilience creates the foundation for sustainable performance, better boundaries and greater effectiveness. ____________________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?

    130 | Why You Feel Responsible for Everything - And Why It's Exhausting

    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. We explore how over-responsibility, mental load, emotional labour, and identity-based stress create hidden pressure that drains your energy, focus, and resilience over time. You’ll learn why capable women often take on more than is theirs to carry, how this pattern impacts performance, burnout, and decision-making, and what resilient leadership looks like when you begin choosing what you carry instead of automatically carrying it all. ______________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?

    129 | The Hidden Cost of Being a 'Good' Mom with Julia Sewell

    What if the pressure you feel as a working mother isn’t just about how much you have to do but about how much of yourself you’ve left behind? In this episode, I sit down with performance coach, author, and founder of The Self Made Mom, Julia Sewell, to explore a powerful concept: noble self-abandonment. This is the idea that many women slowly remove themselves from their own lives in the name of being a “good” mother, partner, and professional, often without even realising it. We unpack how this pattern shows up, the impact it has on your family, your work, and your sense of identity, and what it looks like to begin the journey of self-making, rebuilding a life where you are no longer last on your own list. This is an honest and deeply affirming conversation about worth, identity, and what it really means to take your place back in your own life. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself while trying to be everything for everyone else, this episode is for you!

    128 | Disengaged and Can't Focus? This Might Be the Phase Before Burnout

    In this episode, we explore the hidden phase before burnout when high-achieving working women are still performing on the outside but feeling disengaged, exhausted, and unable to focus underneath. If you’ve been feeling less motivated, more depleted, or disconnected from your work or home life, this is not a sign of failure or laziness. It’s an early signal of burnout. Learn why burnout begins long before it becomes visible, how chronic stress and internal pressure impact your nervous system and performance, and what it actually takes to stay engaged, energised, and effective without burning out. ____________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?

    127 | Why Modern Working Mums Are Burning Out

    If you’re a working mum who feels constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you always have to be “on”, this episode will help you understand why. Burnout isn’t just about having too much to do. Burnout is the result of the internal pressure you carry while you do all the things you have to do and in this episode, we explore why modern working mums are burning out even when they are capable, organised, and doing everything “right.” You will learn how stress is not just created by workload, the invisible mental load, emotional labour, and the pressure to keep everything together at work and at home but also by the rules you are following to take all of this on. This episode will help you see why traditional advice like time management, self-care, and working harder doesn’t solve the problem and what actually needs to shift to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.
