    She redefined success - building a brand alongside a career in Law & raising children

    Thaina is the Brazilian-born founder of RISE, a conscious swimwear brand created to help women feel confident, magnetic, and fully expressed in their bodies. While building a successful career in law in Luxembourg, Thaina felt a growing desire to create something that celebrated women on a deeper level. After becoming a mother, that calling became impossible to ignore. In this conversation, we explore identity, ambition, motherhood, and what happens when you give yourself permission to pursue a dream alongside an established career. We talk about female confidence, self-expression, building a business from the ground up, and why motherhood can often be the catalyst for stepping into a more authentic version of yourself. This episode is for any woman who has ever felt pulled between a career & a personal goal. Find Thaina and RISE on Instagram @risegirl and discover the collection at Rise beachwear.

    The Word Every Mother Needs to Know: Understanding Matrescence

    What if everything you're feeling in motherhood is completely normal... but nobody ever gave you the language to understand it? In this episode, Lou sits down with matrescence educator and founder of The Matrescence Project, Beth Bellingham, to explore the life-changing concept of matrescence — the psychological, emotional, physical and identity transition that women experience when they become mothers. Together they discuss why so many women feel lost, overwhelmed or disconnected after having children, and how understanding matrescence can help us make sense of the changes we experience. Beth shares her mission to give women a word, a framework and a roadmap for one of the biggest transformations of their lives. This conversation is for any mother who has ever wondered: • Why do I feel so different since becoming a mum? • Why did nobody prepare me for this? • Is it normal to feel like I've lost part of myself? • How can I navigate this transition with more understanding and self-compassion? If you've ever felt alone in your experience of motherhood, this episode will help you realise that you're certainly not the only one. Beth Bellingham is a matrescence educator and founder of The Matrescence Project (TMP), a platform dedicated to supporting mums through one of life's most profound transitions: becoming a mother.  Beth's mission is simple but powerful: to give women a word, a framework, and a community to help them understand that what they're feeling is normal ~ through education around matrescence ~ the psychological, emotional, and identity shift that comes with motherhood. TMP offers guides, workshops and talks to support mums navigate the transformation, and give them back the thing no one offered them an explanation, and a map of matrescence to give them visibility of the road ahead.
