This Mum Loves Tech Season 2, Episode 1: What Success Means to Me: 3 Years Running an Online Business

The podcast is back! As This Mum Loves Tech turns three, I’m returning with a fresh fortnightly schedule and an honest look at what "success" actually means when running an online business.

In this solo episode, I share how I achieved my big 2026 goal of working just 7 days across the 7-week summer break, why I chose to simplify my working week rather than scale a team, and why I’ve officially paused my pre-recorded online courses to focus on live, real-time tech support.

In this episode, I share:

✅ Defining Your Own Success: Why hitting six figures might not be your actual goal (and how to align your business with your real life).

✅ Calendar Control: How colour-coding my Google Calendar and building in break buffers prevented burnout.

✅ The Death of Tech Video Courses: Why fast-moving tech tools make pre-recorded courses outdated, and why I believe live support works so much better.

✅ Simplifying My Offers: A clear breakdown of my four core offerings (Membership, 1-to-1 Calls, Tech School, and Live Events)

Four Simple Ways to Work Together:

The Membership (£30/month): Weekly live Q&A calls, guest masterclasses, and a practical training library 👉 https://thismumlovestech.co.uk/membership/

One-Off Tech Calls (1-Hour or 3-Hours): Dedicated 1-to-1 sessions to fix specific setups 👉 https://thismumlovestech.co.uk/tech-support/

This Mum Loves Tech Episode 18: What is Domain Authentication? How to Keep Your Emails Out of Spam in 2025

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down everything small business owners need to know about domain authentication, including what SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are and why they matter more than ever in 2025.

These seemingly innocent arrangements of letters can be the difference between your carefully crafted emails landing in your subscriber's inbox or not.

Before you switch off because this sounds too techie… trust me, this is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your emails actually reach your audience.

I’ll explain:
✅ Why Google, Yahoo and now Microsoft have introduced stricter email rules.
✅ What domain authentication actually means (without the jargon).
✅ How to set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders.
✅ Why 'info@' email addresses are getting flagged and what to do instead.
✅ How my own emails and clients’ deliverability improved after sorting this out.
