You know those times when you promise yourself, “Next time, I’ll say no”…but then the request comes, your chest tightens, your brain scrambles for a “good reason,” and before you know it, you’ve said yes again!

If you’re a high-achieving working mum who feels stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted from constantly being “needed”, this episode will bring you clarity and relief.

Boundaries aren’t hard because you’re weak. They are hard because your brain is wired for connection and our culture rewards overfunctioning.

In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience of saying no, the false identity patterns that hijack your boundaries (hello Good Girl, Achiever, and People Pleaser), and why resilience is the missing link that makes calm, clear boundaries feel natural, not nerve-wracking!

I loved having this conversation with Ro Fielden-Cook about her journey from single motherhood to running her own business where she helps women practice the self-care that we all struggle with as working mums who are busy, stressed out and don’t believe that we have the time to look after ourselves while we are looking after everyone else.

Ro Feilden-Cook is a PT and Women’s Wellbeing expert helping busy midlife women create sustainable breakthroughs with their health. Through her award-winning platform, The SHE Collective, Ro empowers women to feel Strong, Happy, and Empowered, without guilt or perfectionism.

A mum of three and carer to her disabled son, Ro’s journey into wellbeing was born from personal struggle and resilience. After facing her son’s life-limiting diagnosis and her own burnout, she discovered the power of movement, mindset, and community and now helps other women do the same.

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed isn’t your workload but the story beneath it?

In this episode, I introduce the concept of the Executive Identity - the identity operating system that drives your calm, confidence, boundaries and productivity.

You’ll learn how identity shapes behaviour, why stress responses are story-based, and a simple Executive Identity Audit to help you shift from reactive to grounded leadership at home and at work.

Working mums don’t need more balance, better productivity or another stress-management hack. They need relief from identity friction and internal overload.

In this episode, I dismantle the most common lies working mothers are told (“just juggle better,” “be more efficient,” “stop being emotional”) and offer the truth that actually creates calm: identity-led resilience, nervous system steadiness and capacity-building boundaries.

Work life balance is a myth and that’s why you still feel overwhelmed, distracted, guilty and behind.

In this episode, I unpack the real reason balance hasn’t worked for working mothers and introduce the shift toward internal equilibrium.

Learn the 3 pillars of resilience (identity, nervous system, boundaries) and a quick weekly check-in to help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control.

If you’re a high-achieving working mum who feels constantly on edge, guilty or tired of holding everything together, this one is for you.

I explain the real reason you feel overwhelmed, why “balance” keeps failing you, and how identity-led resilience can help you feel calmer, more present, and more like yourself again.

Instead of ways to keep your New Year's Resolutions as we start 2026, walk away with a practical tool you can use today to reduce overwhelm and strengthen your sense of self so that you can become the woman you long to be this year.

After two years and over 100 episodes, I am pressing pause on The Resilient Working Mum podcast not from a place of burnout or boredom but from a place of calm and certainty and clarity!

In this honest episode, I share why resilience is about having the capacity — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to walk the tightrope of life with strength and intention.

I opens up about my own journey through the Good Girl and Achiever identities, and how reclaiming my true identity has helped me let go of pressure, perfectionism, and performance-based worth. I also share what’s coming next: new tools, continued support, and exciting ways for you to keep building your resilience even while the podcast takes a break.

In this episode, you’ll Learn:

• Why real resilience is not about bouncing back — it’s about preparing for and adapting to challenge
• How internal balance helps you cope with stress and pressure
• What it looks like to step away from false identities and choose what truly matters
• Why I am pausing the podcast — and how I am still showing up for you in new, powerful ways
