If you are a multi-passionate mum and entrepreneur, chances are your mind is rarely quiet. Ideas, emotions, plans, to-do lists, responsibilities, and creative sparks all compete for attention at the same time. Creating clarity inside that chaos can feel almost impossible.

Especially as a multipassionate creative and mama, there is a never-ending stream of ideas and projects you want to explore.

In this episode of Mama What’s Next, Melanie shares a simple daily writing practice that has helped her create calm, focus, and direction as a multi-passionate mum and entrepreneur: Morning Pages, a tool from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.

She talks about why this practice feels awkward at first, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how writing by hand helps clear mental clutter, reduce anxiety, and turn scattered energy into focused action.

This episode is for multi-passionate mums and women entrepreneurs who feel pulled in many directions and want a grounded way to build a sustainable business without losing themselves in the process.

1. What Morning Pages are and how they work
2. Why handwriting and stream-of-consciousness writing matter
3. How Morning Pages reduce anxiety and negative self-talk

Building a business as a multi-passionate mum sounds expansive and fun- until it starts holding you back.

In this episode of Mama What’s Next, Melanie speaks about the tension between loving many things and needing to stick with one long enough to grow it. She shares the reality of being good at many skills, why niching down doesn’t always work for multi-passionate mums, and how creating a “brand umbrella” can be a more sustainable way to build meaningful work- without hustle, non-performative, or pretending to be someone you’re not.

This episode is for working mums and mom entrepreneurs who are tired of jumping from one thing to the next and are ready to make real growth happen.
