Do Your Thing with Tamsin Williamson (The Parenthood Coach) – Détails, épisodes et analyse

During this episode I’m joined by the brilliant Victoria Smith-Murphy - an executive coach, tarot educator, and leadership mentor who weaves together the corporate and the sacred.

At the heart of Victoria’s work lies helping people reconnect with their intuition - that deep inner knowing so many of us override, second-guess, or forget how to hear.

During this conversation we explore what intuition really is, why it matters & how learning to trust it can expand your life in the most unexpected ways.

Victoria shares her deeply personal journey - from navigating early menopause to becoming a mum through her sister’s egg donation - and how each step has taught her to surrender, trust, and listen inward.

We also dive into the world of Tarot - exploring how it can be used as a tool for reflection, perspective-shifting, and guidance.

Victoria even does a live Tarot reading with me, which offered some pretty powerful insights!

This conversation is full of wisdom, grounded spirituality, and gentle reminders that you already have the answers you’re seeking inside you - if only you create the space to listen.

Let's celebrate 50 episodes of the pod! 🎉

In this milestone solo episode, I reflect on what it really takes to create something that matters...and keep going, even when it feels messy, imperfect or unclear.

When I pressed record on episode 1 of this podcast back in December 2023, I had no idea where this journey would take me.

What I did know was that I wanted to create a space for honest, inspiring conversations with women who are living life on their terms - and in turn, empower YOU to believe that your dreams, ideas and voice matter deeply, even alongside raising kids.

So now I'm using this solo milestone episode to reflect on what these 50 episodes have taught me, and how they have shaped me as a whole person including:

>> The courage it takes to begin (and why fear isn’t a stop sign)

>> Why alignment + integrity matter more than perfection

>> How small, imperfect steps build momentum and confidence

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, dream or spark, this is your reminder: you don’t need the full plan, you just need the courage to begin and grant yourself the permission to believe it’s possible for you.

And if you’re ready to start doing your thing with clarity, courage and conviction, I’d love to support you inside The Gateway - my signature 1:1 coaching and mentorship programme for mums ready to step into their next chapter while raising their kids. Enrolment is now open - details below!

Here’s to the first 50 - and the next 50 still to come!

This week I’m sharing an inspiring chat I had with Sarah Clarke (aka The Happy Startup Coach) about the power of connecting with our sense of purpose.

Sarah, is a business mentor, leadership coach, optimist and mother of 2 who stands by the philosophy that there is no 'right way' to grow your business, only the 'right way' for you. And through her work she helps kind-hearted but ambitious coaches package up their purpose and magic and attract more 'ready-to-grow' clients with a scalable signature programme that actually sells. 

Discovering our purpose can feel like a big, overwhelming task - especially when we also have so much Motherhood stuff on our plates vying for our attention! 

But during this convo Sarah manages to de-mystify and diffuse the stickiness that can accompany the topic in a way that feels down to earth, reassuing and exciting.

During this episode Sarah shares:

>> How she transitioned from working in corporate to starting her own business and how her subsequent life choices have been led by her strong and evolving sense of purpose. 

>> How it is possible to release the pressure that can often accompany the ‘what is my purpose’ question

>> Some accessible and clarifying stepping stones to strengthen our connection to our WHY so we can 'do our thing' personally, professionally and as a Mum

This week I’m sharing an AMAZING chat with Zoe Duce all about how to maintain meaningful relationships in Motherhood.  

Zoe is a connection expert who runs a business called MoveThru helping mums rebuild their friendships, romantic relationships, and social lives after having children. She understands the loneliness and disconnect that can accompany motherhood and offers practical tools to revive meaningful relationships.

It’s no secret that Motherhood can shake up our relationships big time - mainly because our relationship with OURSELVES goes through such a significant transition, causing an inevitable ripple effect on our wider circles and dynamics.

However, rather than surrendering to the social challenges Motherhood can throw at us, Zoe passionately champions an alternative approach - one where we get to honour our most important relationships WHILE also honouring ourselves as Mothers. YUP - it doesn’t have to be a choice! 

This conversation is packed full of gold, where Zoe shares all sorts including: 

• The challenging impact that Motherhood had on her social life and relationship - and how she navigated her way through

• The reasons we can find it so difficult to invest time in our relationships alongside raising our kids

• Why it is SO important to maintain meaningful relationships as a Mum

• Some answers to the million dollar question: How do we do it???? 

I have a feeling that Zoe’s words will help so many of you feel both very seen in your reality as a Mum, but also energised and hopeful that there IS absolutely another way.

Are you feeling like life is dragging you along, rather than you steering the ship?

In this episode, we dive into the power of living life with intention—what it actually means, why it matters, and how it can transform the way you approach your days as a busy mum.

We’ll unpack the opposite of intentional living (hello, autopilot!) and explore how it shows up in our choices, routines, and even our mindset.

From parenting to work to personal goals, we’ll talk about where being intentional can have the biggest impact.

Plus, I’ll share 3 practical strategies you can start using today to live more deliberately, reclaim your focus, and feel more connected to what truly matters to YOU.

If you’ve been craving more clarity, purpose, and control over your life, this episode is for you.

Let’s take a step towards a life that feels less mindless and reactive and more aligned with who you are and what you want.

This week I’m chatting with Shilpa Jamieson about how her passion for mindset work and coaching theory sits at the heart of everything she does.

Shilpa is a Certified Parent Coach, Writer, Artist + Founder of her business Mindset, Mimi & Me and her mission is to create a paradigm shift in how young kids are educated on understanding themselves, so they have the tools to thrive amongst whatever life throws at them - and to help make it easier for parents to teach kids self-knowledge, self-trust and self-worth from birth through fun tools. 

Mental wellbeing stats in the UK amongst young people are alarming and this is the domain where Shilpa is looking to make some essential changes - living out her transformational principles with her own kids as well as through the invaluable work she does with parents on a wider scale. 

During this chat we covered so much including…

>> The journey Shilpa went on through her own upbringing + education that fed her passion to champion this space 

>> The reasons WHY filling the ‘emotional education’ gap for parents + children is so important

>> The unique and brilliantly creative approach she takes to doing this work

This week I’m chatting with Cat Googe about…JOY! And how she has learnt to unapologetically and seamlessly weave joy into her experience of life, business and motherhood as well as into the lives of so many others who have come into her orbit (myself included!)

Cat - who calls herself The Joy Queen - is super passionate about teaching people how to intentionally bring joy into our everyday instead of waiting for it to happen to us - and she loves to facilitate this through her unique blend of laughter yoga, reiki and NLP through 1-2-1 work, in her membership The Inner Joy Circle as well at events and festivals.

Joy is something that so many women I work with feel a disconnect with, especially since having kids when overwhelm, exhaustion and a fractured sense of self can have a tendency to take over. 

But doing life without the presence of true and authentic joy for ourselves can make the journey of raising kids feel pretty deflating and and during this conversation I explore with Cat how we can learn to reclaim our joy EVEN when life feels heavy and full, and reframe our joy into something we can all access every day of our lives. 

During this episode Car shares: 

• How challenges in her earlier life heavily influenced her own joy journey
• How her re-education and re-learning around her relationship with joy has impacted the trajectory of her life
• And she imparts invaluable wisdom about how to re-frame and re-connect with YOUR own sense of joy

Most Mums I speak to know the feeling of the 'Invisible Maternal Load' all too well - and yet often they feel the weight of it before they truly understand what it is. 

At times, it can feel utterly inescapable for us as Mums where we feel so weighed down by the never-ending ticker tape of mental, emotional and domestic responsibilities we're wading through, day in day out.

A load that they often feel nobody else in the family truly understands, recognises or appreciates.

But while feeling utterly overwhelmed by all of the to-dos and needs whirling round our heads - we can also simultaneously resign ourselves to believing that this is just how Motherhood is.

Subsequently leaving us feeling EVEN more frustrated, unfulfilled, stuck - and even resentful - which isn't ever going to be any good for anyone.

BUT HERE'S THE THING: that belief you're holding onto is BULLSH*T and there is 100% another way!

And I want you to know that it is absolutely possible for us to break free from the draining, disempowering shackles of this invisible maternal load - and feel a whole lot lighter, more liberated and empowered in ourselves and how we show up in our daily lives.

But first we need to understand the often unspoken intricacies of this 'invisible maternal load' phenomenon so we can tackle it head on!

And during this episode I hope to help enlighten you on this topic, so you can start making those important first moves to lightening that load for yourself.

During this episode I explain:

- What the 'Invisible Maternal Load' is

- The often unspoken reasons WHY so many Mums are affected by it  

- A fresh perspective to adopt around the your relationship with the 'Invisible Maternal Load'

- How to start breaking free from it's power, and do things differently

In this new episode I chat with Emma Benyon about how Motherhood invited her to re-define what self-care looked and felt like for her - in a way that subsequently supported her to unapologetically 'do her thing' across all parts of her life. 

Emma is a Business Coach for busy mums, a Self Care Expert and Educator supporting mums who are juggling the school run and growing a business. And through her work she provides women with the tools to build their business their way minus the guilt and burnout - so they can do motherhood and business with ease, flexibility and simplicity. 

There are so many synergies in the work Emma and I do - so this conversation represented a beautiful meeting of aligned minds, FULL of juicy insights and discussion around the topic of self-care for Mums. 

The term ‘self-care’ is banded around a huge amount these days and it can mean many different things to each and every one of us. 

And during this conversation I loved hearing Emma’s unique perspective on self care which she has applied to her own day to day life, walking the walk to ensure that her version of self-care sits at the heart of everything she does. 

PLUS she uses her expertise and experience to support mums to take care of themselves and prioritise their own needs as both individuals and business owners.

This week I’m sharing another fab convo from my Instagram live archives with digital wellbeing coach, culture trainer and speaker Sam Flynn about navigating parenthood in a digital world. 

Technology is almost unavoidable in today's day and age – and can have a really profound (often negative) impact on us, as individuals and as parents. 

I certainly find that technology (especially my iPhone) can make raising kids quite stressful and it has had quite a profound impact on my mental health at times too. So I was eagerly soaking up all of Sam’s wisdom!! 

During this conversation Sam shares how her own addiction to her smartphone and research into why this happens helped her to establish a more positive way of incorporating technology into her home life 

PLUS how her background in Organisational Psychology led her into a career as a digital wellbeing coach working with individuals, businesses and schools to manage their relationship with the digital world to promote positive use, rather than causing a negative impact on their lives.

During this episode Sam imparts some invaluable and highly accessible tips and insights that really highlight why creating and embedding these new habits is so important - for our own wellbeing as well as our kids. 

(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup. I've managed to let it go - so I hope you can too! ;-) )
