• The Clarity Tool I Wish I had Years Ago as a Multipassionate Entrepreneur & Mama
    Jan 14 2026

    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.

    In This Episode, We Talk About:
    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
    4. Creating clarity amid chaos and too many ideas
    5. Why compassion and flexibility are part of the practice
    6. Turning scattered thoughts into focused action
    7. How Morning Pages support sustainable business growth
    8. Using daily writing to prioritize what truly matters

    Mentioned in This Episode:
    1. The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
    2. Morning Pages (daily stream-of-consciousness writing practice)

  • You Can’t Grow a Business If You’re Always Jumping (Building a sustainable business as a Multi-Passionate Mum)
    Jan 12 2026

    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.

    Examples that are referenced-

    1. The Long and the Short of It, a podcast by Peter Sheahan and Jen Waldman
    2. Madison | Entrepreneur (@multipassionatemadison)
    3. Seth Godin


    In This Episode, We Talk About:


    • Why jumping between ideas makes sustainable growth impossible

    • The hidden struggle of being multi-passionate and highly capable

    • Why being good at everything can hold your business back

    • Building a business without niching yourself into unhappiness

    • Creating a brand umbrella instead of forcing focus

    • The question every multi-passionate mum needs to ask: what do I want to be known for?

    • Why boredom doesn’t mean you should quit — and when it actually does

    Dec 30 2025

    Society gave us work-life balance. We need to give it back.

    Today I share a little part of my interview I gave on "The Well Nourished Mama" about my journey from multi-passionate marketer to helping mothers navigate career transformations and building meaningful work and businesses. In this honest conversation, I also challenge the myth of work-life balance and talk about a more realistic approach to building sustainable businesses while raising families. Brooke shares her take how she balances from one foot to another. Real Talk


    What You'll Learn:

    • Why the term "work-life balance" is an unrealistic expectation (and what to focus on instead)
    • How motherhood transforms your priorities as a working mom and what you expect from life
    • Building a slow, sustainable business as a mom entrepreneur that integrates with family life
    • Being a working mum as an example for your children
    • The power of flexibility and autonomous decision-making as you create a sustainable business


    Perfect for: Service-based business founders, multi-passionate mothers, anyone navigating career transformation after becoming a mom

    Keywords: work-life balance myth, building sustainable business, career after motherhood, slow business model, working mother example, business without hustle

  • Founder Storytelling: When Content Creation Works Against Your Natural State
    Dec 22 2025

    This episode is for: Founders, solopreneurs, soul-driven business owners who know they need content but hate creating it the traditional way.

    Listen if: You're ready to share your story without forcing yourself to be someone you're not.


    I've worked in marketing for over 20 years. I've been through countless business coachings and mentorings. And I keep seeing the same thing: founders and solopreneurs struggling with content creation.

    Not because they lack expertise. Not because they don't know their business inside out.

    Because they're being forced into a role that goes against their natural energy.

    This episode is for purpose-driven founders who are tired of the content hamster wheel. If you've tried agencies, freelancers, or forcing yourself on camera and it still feels off—there's a reason. And there's a different way.


    What We Cover

    The Content Creation Trap

    Why Outsourcing Often Fails

    The Generic Content Problem

    The AI Slop Reality

    Your Content Goldmines


    Why This Way Works :)

    Ready to Create Content That Actually Sounds Like You?

  • "Erfüllung findest du nicht im Außen" Wie man berufliche Neuausrichtung von innen beginnt - Karolin König-Baykan
    Nov 17 2025

    Was passiert, wenn eine erfolgreiche Karrierecoach Mutter wird und plötzlich alles in Frage stellt? In diesem ehrlichen und mutigen Gespräch erzählt Karolin König-Baykan, wie die Geburt ihrer Tochter nicht nur ihr Leben, sondern ihr gesamtes Business-Konzept transformiert hat. Nach 8 Jahren klassischem Karrierecoaching folgt sie nun ihrer Intuition statt ihrem Verstand - und zeigt uns, warum das der mutigste Schritt überhaupt ist.


    • Warum Erfüllung niemals im Außen zu finden ist, und wo du stattdessen suchen solltest
    • Der Unterschied zwischen "wahren Stärken" und dem, was du dafür hältst - und warum du deine größten Talente oft gar nicht erkennst
    • Die brutale Wahrheit über HR & Recruiting -Warum Recruiter NIEMALS für dich arbeiten (sondern immer fürs Unternehmen)
    • Wie Mutterschaft als Portal wirkt und Caroline's radikale Transformation durch die Geburt ihrer Tochter.
    • Leidenschaft vs. Markt - Was wirklich wichtiger ist (die Antwort wird dich überraschen)
    • Warum kleine Schritte Momentum erzeugen und wie du Raum für Neues schaffst, auch ohne perfekten Plan
    • Von der "Huntress" zur "Queen Energy" und wie Frauen aus dem toxischen "Arbeiten, Schaffen, Machen"-Modus ausbrechen können


    Karolin ist Karrierecoach und Gründerin von Career Catalyst und hat jetzt ihr neues Business www.feminineevolution.de gegründet. Mit über 8 Jahren Erfahrung im HR- und Recruiting-Bereich hat sie mehr als 4.000 Menschen begleitet, ihre berufliche Erfüllung zu finden. 2021 wurde sie Mama und dieser Moment veränderte nicht nur ihr Leben, sondern ihre gesamte Arbeitsphilosophie. Heute unterstützt sie Frauen dabei, nicht mehr ins "Jobgefängnis" zurückzukehren, sondern ihrer inneren Stimme zu folgen und ihre wahre Kraft zu entdecken und der auch zu folgen :)

  • How to Break the Cycle of Self-Criticism
    Nov 10 2025

    Struggling to stay consistent with your new habits and being disciplined in your work? You're not alone!

    Let's talk about the importance of self-compassion and tiny steps towards change and how to be kinder to yourself when trying to change (and why your kids need to see it!)

    I often explore my own personal challenges through the podcast and this week I reflect on how me trying to change my habbits and patterns affects me, how I handle setbacks and how I improve going forward.

    In this episode:

    I talk about the importance of discipline and the challenges of forming new habits, particularly in the context of working from home.

    I reflect on the the impact of generational patterns on behavior and the significance of role modeling for our children.

    I talk about why mindfulness and self-compassion are so important when attempting to change habits, advocating for small, manageable goals to foster sustainable change.
