The Ambitious Mum Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Acknowledging what has been built here.
During this one-off, finale episode, Kate reflects on the imparted wisdom of her guests from season three of The Ambitious Mum Podcast.

Kate talks about everything from our long-standing and limiting beliefs to recognising when we’re out of alignment and how this shows up in our bodies.

Hear as she shares how these conversations have shifted her view during the pandemic and what increased self-awareness has gifted her during this time. She also acknowledges how making space, choosing more rest and creating time out, actually helps us create the lives we want and not what we think we should be doing or being.

Kate also shares her gratitude for the community surrounding The Ambitious Mum and what the podcast has become.

Kate Moryoussef is a Wellbeing/EFT coach and mum to four children, also newly diagnosed with ADHD (an explanation and NOT a label she's keen to point out!) who is passionate about helping women to improve their emotional and physical wellbeing, rediscover their inner voice and spirituality, tap into their expansive potential, fulfil their desires and realise themselves outside of the overwhelm, inner pressure and family dynamic.

“All you have is time - it's what you do with your time...you're as busy as you want to be.” 

In this week's Ambitious Mum powerful episode, Roberta Brown aka The Mindful Mum of London gives us a huge reminder:  “All we have is now, there’s no more rehearsing, we are nobody in the grand scheme of life, just live, live, live!”
After several family traumas, including a lifelong fear of death and health anxiety, Roberta had a breakdown from which she had a big road of recovery ahead. Therapy then led Roberta to find mindfulness and this particular practice just clicked with her, living in awareness became the new meaning to her life - so much so she felt called to teach this to others, giving them the tools to be aware of their own strength, autonomy and choice over how they live their life. Roberta, through mindfulness, now "teaches people to be present".   Kate and Roberta also talk about:   ✨ Understanding the basics of mindful meditation
✨ 'Waking up', being aware of our power within a huge universe
✨ Your right to rest and care for yourself  
✨ Guilt around taking time for yourself
✨ Mirroring our family conditioning
✨ Using self-compassion in daily life and becoming a self-healer
✨ Understanding that our parents did the best they could, with what they knew
✨ How to reparent ourselves ✨ Growing your self-care toolkit 
✨ Grounding and regaining control through our breath ✨ Knowing when to stop, pause, say no and practising boundaries without constant       explanation
✨ Understanding being here right now
✨ Being grateful for every minute and being content with all the small things

"Or intuition is not in our head, our head is the one that talks us out of everything and wants to keep us safe."

In her 40s, today's guest, Isobel Gatherer took a brave leap by leaving her corporate job and going freelance as a PA. Through this work, she began to attract clients that resonated with her, one of which completely changed her life when she was introduced to angel work.    It was through this angel work that Isobel found her gift of clairaudience and psychic abilities. She began by charging £10 for a card reading and after years of growing and taking guidance from her own angels, Isobel is now a full-time intuitive reader, psychic and energy healer.

In this episode hear Kate and Isobel talk about:   ✨How Isobel leaned into her own guidance to begin her new career ✨Accessing our angels and how to communicate with them 
✨Guardian angels and how they can help us ✨Being open to what our body is trying to tell us
✨Learning to listen to our intuition and inner knowing 
✨Recognising fear
✨Normalising asking for help and guidance, making it feel accessible and practical
✨Understanding our soul and gut ✨How to receive and recognise our guidance    They also talk about how to hold space for your child's experiences with their angels and encourage them to stay open and receive comfort from guidance and messages they may receive as they get older and go into the world.

This week, Kate sits down with author, podcast host and relationship coach, Laura-Jane Hand.

Laura-Jane's high-pressure, high-stress corporate job was bringing her a good amount of money but left her with an empty feeling.
She speaks to how you can be aware of projecting your problems and looking outwardly to find answers, searching for something to give you connection and she reminds you to stop, turn your attention inwards and move forward from a place of authenticity.
The pair also talk about "A Course In Miracles"  and the change it brought about in both of their lives and how it became the catalyst for Laura-jane's new book: More Than A Mindset.
We also talk about:

• The impact A Course in Miracles had on both Laura and Kate
• What the Course in Miracles lessons are about and what they can teach us
• How Laura's marriage problems helped her to recognise that she wanted to help others with their relationships
• How blame and putting our problems on others isn't the answer
• When we begin working on ourselves, others seem to naturally grow alongside with us
• Training our mind to not dwell on fear but to start by reaching for the next best thought
• How forgiveness is one of the most powerful choices we can make and why forgiveness alone can help heal our relationships
• Using new awareness in our relationship to prevent us from reacting from a state of fear
• How Laura was inspired to write her book - More than a Mindset to help others 
• Spirituality doesn't need to be too serious or time-consuming  - it's more about the intention we go with 

Now, as a relationship coach, Laura-Jane is bringing a deeper sense of healing to couples allowing them to look beyond blaming one another or external situations and helping them to create more meaningful connections.

This week's guest has lived experience of the messages she now teaches. Psychotherapist, Keeley Tavner made a choice to release aspects of the life she grew up in - letting go of friends, her job at Ikea, as well as her toxic relationship when she began studying as a mature student while being a single mother.

During an epiphany moment, while watching an episode of Oprah, Keely decided then she wanted to become a different person and better herself and her life. After many years of studying, while also working, she is now sharing her incredible knowledge, experience and insights with other women. 

It was while Keeley was working in the prison service, she had a stark realisation about narcissistic individuals and the toxic relationships they create. From a personal perspective, this helped her in her own relationship but now she helps empathic people to understand how they contribute to unhealthy relationships and helps them take more responsibility, ownership and empowerment from having awareness around their own behaviour and the expectations they are projecting on to others.
In this week's episode, Kate and Keeley cover:

• conserving and protecting energy if you're an empath
• being patient with ourselves while in a place of self-discovery
• chunking down our goals to prevent overwhelm
• how narcissists can take advantage of an empath energy 
• looking at our own energy and the expectations we may hold
• how ego holds you back 
• making conscious choices around giving and boundaries
• managing and being aware of our expectations
• the chasm of change
• moving on from resentment and anger.

Keeley Taverner is a British-Jamaican psychotherapist that started adulthood as a mother of two working as a cashier at Ikea while feeling trapped in an abusive relationship with a narcissist partner. Raised by her single mother on a London council estate where “schools housed us rather than engineer our minds for success”, she left school with no qualifications, prospects, ambition or self-belief.

Self-help books were solace, and one day, as she sorted through abandoned stock at the checkout, she experienced what her ‘yellow bag’ epiphany when she heard her inner voice speaking to her loud and clear. “Surely you can do better than this, Keeley?” She listened, hard, and step by step, brick by brick, she began rebuilding her life.

From women’s refuge to fighting for a place at a university to coaching prisoners, to running her own practice, Key For Change, Keeley has boldly, passionately and courageously defied the odds -- and now she's on a mission to help others do the same.

Keeley offers life coaching, counseling and psychotherapy to enable you to achieve positive, lasting change and provide you with a confidence toolkit you can rely on for life.

When we become mothers, our creativity often gets sapped in place of exhaustion and our children's needs. Because of this, mothers need to nourish themselves even more, by releasing their suppressed imagination and getting creative again. Today’s guest, Dr Georgina Green, is helping and guiding time-poor women to do exactly this through their writing. 
During this Ambitious Mum podcast episode, Kate and Georgina cover the importance of expressing yourself creatively, how it helps you to feel like your authentic self and gives you another reason for being other than your duties as a mother. They also discuss why it's so vital to carve out time for your own outlets and accept how valid this is for our mental and emotional wellbeing.
Dr Georgina Green - everyone calls her George! - is a recovering long-term academic, a mother of two boys, and a book coach for mothers who want to make time, space and energy for writing. Just as her youngest son was about to start school and she was patiently waiting to restart her career, the pandemic turned her to homeschool rather than having more time to focus on writing.

Knowing she had to make time for herself, George created Calliope's Writers - a writing community of women carving out time each week to keep each other accountable and inspire creative energy to write. The group has grown wildly over the past year and she has coached several now published and acclaimed debut authors.   Follow Dr Georgina on Instagram, visit her website to work with her, or to join her writing group follow the below links: www.georginagreen.co.uk Instagram  www.calliopeswriters.com

How can you live a more soul-driven, authentic life, and could shadow work be the first step? 

Kate dives into this form of healing with clinical psychologist, Dr Rathika Marsh.
Kate and Dr Rathika aka "The Spiritual Psychologist", uncover how unresolved trauma and emotions such as fear, anger, guilt and shame can continue to show up in our life if we don't acknowledge our childhood issues and decide to heal from our past wounds. 

The pair discuss the power of using inner child work to allow ourselves to heal from painful childhood traumas which can continue to show up in our life way beyond the point at which we thought we “were over it”. They also talk about:

- conditional love
- societal conditioning
- not using our authentic voices
- validation of trauma


Rathika supports people to explore, heal and expand by combining the trauma-informed science of psychology and her own experiences of spiritual healing and shadow work, with her one-to-one packages, group healing experiences and courses.
You can follow Dr Rathika on Instagram and find out more information on her one to one work, courses and retreats via her website: thespiritualpsychologist.co.uk

“Now I’m just letting more of my quirky, sarcastic and at times wildly inappropriate self out”
In her first conversation of the series, Kate Moryoussef sits down with US-based Mindset & Productivity Coach, Diann Wingert. 
The pair discuss changing careers and working through an ADHD diagnosis to best find the patterns, wellbeing tools and systems that work for them. They also dive into the mainstream perception of ADHD and where women fit into this. 
Diann Wingert is a mindset and productivity coach for female entrepreneurs who identify with the traits of ADHD, officially diagnosed or not. During her 20-year career as a licensed psychotherapist, Diann saw many brilliant and ambitious women struggle with unidentified ADHD, including Diann herself. Since her own mid-life diagnosis, she now mentors women who are “driven but distracted” to overcome procrastination, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can craft a life they love.
