    Who Am I Now? Rediscovering Yourself as Your Child Becomes Independent

    Send us a text As our children grow into young adults, everything changes, their independence increases, our roles evolve, and sometimes our sense of identity is quietly challenged. Welcome to this heartfelt episode of Mums Figuring It Out where Roxanne and Jo begin a brand new Transformation Series. Join them as they explore a universal truth: change is inevitable. From the moment our children leave school, start work, or head off to university, we experience a huge shift, from being the centre of their world to becoming a listener, guide and steady presence in the background. Together, Roxanne and Jo share their personal experiences of letting go of control, navigating emotional transitions, coping with identity shifts, and rediscovering purpose beyond hands-on parenting. They reflect on the quiet moments of loss, the unexpected opportunities for personal growth, and how mums can prepare emotionally for this next chapter. This episode offers reassurance, practical reflection, and compassionate encouragement for any parent navigating the evolving relationship with their growing child, reminding us that we don’t have to lose ourselves as our children find their independence. If you’re approaching a major transition in your parenting journey, or already living it, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered to grow alongside your child. Enjoy!

    Do What You Have to Do: A Lesson in Being Resourceful

    Send us a text What does it really mean to be resourceful, not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday life, parenting, and reinvention? In this heartfelt and deeply human conversation, Roxanne and Jo are joined by Ulvi, a former diplomat, community builder, mother of twins, and passionate advocate for learning, service, and resilience. Ulvi shares her remarkable journey from diplomacy to community leadership, exploring how curiosity, stamina, and a willingness to “do what you have to do” can open doors, even when life looks uncertain. Together, they reflect on parenting across cultures, the power of community, the transformative impact of parenting courses, and what it truly means to keep going one step at a time. From fundraising for schools to redefining career paths later in life, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical insight. A powerful reminder that resourcefulness isn’t about having endless energy, it’s about using what you have, giving in small drops, and staying connected to humanity, purpose, and self-belief.

    Productivity Without Burnout: Getting Results That Really Matter

    Send us a text Welcome to the final episode in the Mums Figuring it Out Leadership Series; join your hosts, Roxanne and Jo in this honest talk about productivity. They go deep, stripping the conversation back to look at the hustle culture, busyness, and unrealistic expectations. Together, they explore what it really means to get results that matter, without sacrificing your wellbeing, family life, or sense of control. From defining your end goal and measuring meaningful outcomes, to pacing yourself, creating supportive environments, and recognising when collaboration (and asking for help) is the most productive choice of all, this conversation invites you to rethink how you approach your time, energy, and focus. You will reflect on distractions, boundaries, tools, teamwork, and the often overlooked connection between work life and home life, all while being gently reminded that productivity isn't about "doing more", but about "doing what matters most".
