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.

    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.

    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.

    125 | Why You Are Not Consistent (It's Not Discipline) with Courtney Townley

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of starting strong only to fall off track, this episode will change the way you think about consistency. The problem isn’t that you lack discipline (and in this episode I sit down with Courtney Townley to explore why so many high-achieving women struggle to stay consistent even when they know exactly what to do.) We unpack the deeper patterns behind self-sabotage, the hidden habits that keep women stuck, and why true, sustainable change has far more to do with self-trust than willpower. This conversation challenges the traditional idea of consistency and offers a more powerful, compassionate, and sustainable way forward. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting the results you want, this episode is for you. Courtney has been helping women around the world take better care of themselves with more consistency and ease for the past 20 years. She helps women mend their relationship with themselves so they can achieve deep health and deliver their best to the things that matter most to them. Deep health, in her opinion, isn’t about following someone else’s set of rules and regulations for your life, it is about getting to know yourself better so you can lead yourself better. She is the hostess of the highly-rated podcast, Grace & Grit, where she encourages women to expand the definition of health far beyond the topics of diet and exercise. Courtney is a level 2 certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition, a certified strength coach via the National Strength & Conditioning Association and a certified life coach via The Life Coach School.

    124 | Feeling Burnt Out? Here's Why

    Burnout isn’t just about doing too much and it’s not simply solved by taking a break. In this episode, we explore a powerful reframe: burnout as an identity issue. If you’re a high-achieving working mum who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and under constant pressure, even when life looks “fine” on the outside, this episode will help you understand why. We unpack how burnout is often driven by internal “worth rules” which are the unconscious beliefs that say you must achieve, perform, prove, or hold everything together in order to feel safe, valued, or enough. You’ll learn why rest alone doesn’t fix burnout, how identity-based pressure keeps your nervous system activated, and what it really takes to feel calm, steady, and in control, even in a full and demanding life.

    123 | How High-Achieving Women Lose Time Without Realising It

    If you’ve ever reached the end of a full day feeling busy, exhausted, and like you have had to perform the whole time and wonder where the day actually went, this episode will shift how you think about time completely. High-achieving working mums don’t usually have a time management problem. They have a time leak problem. In this episode, we explore the invisible ways time is lost through emotional labour, cognitive load, internal pressure, and identity-driven patterns. You’ll learn why traditional productivity tools often don’t solve the problem, and how your nervous system and identity play a powerful role in how you experience time. This episode will help you move from feeling constantly behind and reactive… to understanding what’s really draining your time and capacity.

    122 | Why You Compare Yourself to Others (and How to Finally Stop)

    Comparison isn’t just a mindset problem. It’s actually a very useful signal that there is something deeper going on beneath the surface that is you and when you look beneath that surface, you find that there is a way to stop comparing so that you can be more present, engaged and peaceful in who you are and in the life you are living.  In this episode, we explore why high-achieving working mums find themselves constantly comparing, doubting, and feeling like they’re falling short, even when they’re doing so much right. You’ll learn how comparison is rooted in identity, how it erodes self-trust, and how to shift out of the pressure to measure up so you can feel calmer, more certain and confident in your own way of doing life.
