#137 - Pinterest For Nine Years Then Motherhood Changed Everything — On Identity Shifts, Matrescence and Integrated Ambition - Tamara Hinckley
She had THE career but then she became a mother and something shifted. Tamara Hinckley spent nine years at Pinterest. She tried interviewing for similar roles and realised somewhere in that process that she no longer wanted what she had been chasing. Motherhood had quietly rewritten what she was actually ambitious for. This episode is about that rewriting. What happens when a high achieving woman becomes a mother and discovers that the version of success she built no longer fits the person she is becoming. The humility of admitting that something you helped build is no longer working for you. And what integrated ambition — ambition across a whole life rather than just a career — actually looks like in practice. In this episode: → Leaving Pinterest after nine years and what motherhood clarified → Matrescence and the identity shift that changes what you are actually ambitious for → How cultural background shapes the definition of success you inherit — and the work of rewriting it on your own terms → Stopping being the CEO of your own household and what genuine equal partnership actually requires → The mentor question that changed everything — when are you going to feel ready For the woman in an enviable role who cannot shake the feeling that something no longer fits. Maybe motherhood just made it impossible to keep work and meaning in separate rooms. Follow us on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/mambition-podcast/

Moments #66- Why I Wash The Dishes The Night Before — On Mental Load, Morning Routines and Sending My Kids To School With Good Vibes - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
Motherhood as the art of doing it so well that nobody notices you are doing it at all. Our school morning routine with a 3 and 5 year old is fairly calm. Because someone is behind the scenes orchestrating it all. It takes careful planning, decisions made the night before and timing everything correctly. We do not talk enough about the mental load of this. In this episode: → Time as dominoes — why each thing needs to happen at a certain moment so the next thing gets its moment too → Why I wash the dishes the night before even when I am exhausted — and what it gives back the next morning → The walk to school, the music, the pace — and why setting the tone matters more than I can explain → Where this comes from — and the morning I am trying to give my children that I did not have myself For the mother who is already doing all of this and has not yet named it. You are holding the frame. 💛 🎙️ Mambition Moments — powered by cold coffee and running on fumes. Just like you.

#136 - The Village, Intergenerational Bonds, Great North Run and Raising Curious Children
Alex and Tiffany are back for a catch up! We talk about the Great North Run, cheering loudly in public and the particular joy of embarrassing your children. About the village, the support that makes this all possible. And about raising curious children without pushing them toward a specific path — just creating the conditions for discovery and watching what sticks. In this episode: → The Great North Run — medals, cheering and future embarrassment → The village and why intergenerational bonds matter more than we say out loud → Raising curious children without directing their futures → Alex's Substack — on writing, self doubt and putting yourself out there → Finding the platform that actually fits rather than doing everything → You do not have to thrive all the time. Surviving is enough. For the mother who is in a season that is simply hard right now. That is okay. You are doing enough. 💛

Moments #65 - On Children, Confidence and Building Competence Outside The Classroom - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
My 5 year old son ran the Great North Run for Kids on Saturday. He loved it. But I only discovered that he loved running when I took him for a run a year ago. He loved it. He said mummy let us go again. Now he keeps up with me. I also started playing music in the mornings. My daughter catches a lyric from a song we played earlier and repeats it after school like she has been rehearsing it all day. Neither of them was told what to love. They were just given the space to find it. In this episode: → Why school is too narrow in its definition of smart — and why building competence outside the classroom matters → Creating the environment for discovery — how small moments reveal what your children are made of → Paying close attention as a form of love — and what I missed not having my own mother do that for me → The legacy I want to leave them — not just the grades or achievements, but the ability to see themselves learn to do a thing For the mother who is already noticing things in her children that nobody else has named yet. Trust what you see.

#135 - Why Your Confidence Has To Come Before Your Wardrobe - Style, Motherhood & Investing In Yourself Morgan Wider
Before Morgan Wider became the woman behind The Worthy Wardrobe, there was her mum. And the thread between that maternal influence and how she developed her own relationship with style, identity and being seen is one of the most interesting places this conversation goes. Morgan is an image consultant, stylist, speaker and author working with professional women on the two things that actually change how you show up — confidence and a wardrobe formula that works for the life you actually have. She is also a stepmum to Joy. Direct in her own style. Learning every day to adapt to a daughter who is beautifully, completely the opposite. We talk about all of it. In this episode: → The maternal influence that shaped Morgan's relationship with style → Why confidence has to come before the wardrobe — and what happens when women get that the wrong way round → The guilt of investing in yourself as a mother when every instinct says spend it on your children instead → Recognising that you are worthy of being seen → Watching your parents become grandparents and what that kind of love teaches you → How motherhood refines your ambition rather than ending it For the mother who has been putting herself last for so long she has forgotten she was ever first. This is not just about what you wear. It is about who you believe you are when you put it on. And that is a much deeper conversation.

Moments #64 -Another Year —On Birthday Anxiety, Loss, Gratitude and Finding Hope When Life Is Hard - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
My birthday is coming up. And this typically comes with anxiety. The internal voice that asks — are you where you should be? Have you done enough? Another year has passed. What have you got to show for it? I know that voice well and I know where it comes from. Loss warps your relationship with time. You stop feeling like time is infinite. Birthdays become a reminder that another year has gone and the clock is still running. This episode is a reflective one. For anyone who is struggling right now I wanted to record something honest about the complexity of finding peace and hope when life is full and heavy. In this episode: → Where birthday anxiety comes from and why it has followed me for years → How loss changes your relationship with time and what I have learned about sitting with that → Gratitude without silencing yourself — you can appreciate your life and still say it is a lot → Grace for yourself — why I am more the type who needs gentleness than hardness Another year. I am learning to greet it with more grace. And if you are struggling to find peace right now — this one is for you. 🎙️ Mambition Moments — powered by cold coffee and running on fumes. Just like you.

#134 - Back To School Reflections — On Time Warps, Fleeting Friendships and Designing A Summer You Actually Enjoy
Alex and I are back reflecting on the summer holidays that have somehow came to an end. Six weeks of keeping the children entertained, going on adventures, meeting strangers at parks and soft plays, making fleeting friendships that lasted an afternoon and somehow meant gave us something. We both made a deliberate choice to prioritise time with our children this summer. And to also make sure we got something out of it too. In this episode:→ How we kept the kids entertained → Why we both deliberately stepped back from work and made peace with that choice→ The fleeting friendships our children made — and what those short term connections teach them about people→ Designing a summer you actually enjoy and the sacrifices that make it happen And now we are back to school wondering how we ended up here so fast. That is the parenting time warp. And we cannot un-see it.

Moments #63 - The Summer That Felt Long Then Suddenly Short — A Back To School Reflection - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
The kids go back tomorrow. Six weeks that felt endless at the start and gone in what felt like an instant at the end. Though I know it was long — there were days that felt like we had too much time and not enough to fill it with. That is the time warp of summer holidays.. And I think it tells you something important about this season of life. In this episode: → The time warp of parenting that I simply can't un-see → Stepping back from work during the summer holidays. Not making it a priority and trying to make peace with that — after a lifetime of work being central to who I am. →Looking after myself and how that is woven into the chaos For the mother who is sitting at the end of summer wondering where it went. Perhaps it went exactly where it was supposed to?

#133 - The Mental Load, Identity Shifts and Building Something Purpose Driven Alongside Motherhood - Kathryn Hatcher
The summer camp spreadsheet. The INSET day gap. The colour coded calendar nobody else in the house understands. If you know, you know. Kathryn Hatcher is the founder of Camply — a platform helping busy parents find, plan and coordinate summer camps and school break childcare without the overwhelm. She spent 15 years in consulting and leading complex high stakes projects. Now she is applying that same lens to the problem she was living every single day as a working mother of two. But this conversation goes much deeper than camp logistics. We talk about matrescence — the identity shift that comes with becoming a mother and how it quietly reorients everything you once believed about your life, your work and what actually matters. And about what happens when that shift pushes you toward something more purpose driven. Something that feels aligned with who you are becoming rather than who you were before. In this episode: → The invisible mental load of summer camp and school holiday planning — and what it is really costing working mothers → Matrescence and the identity shift motherhood triggers whether you are ready for it or not → How becoming a mother changed what Kathryn believed about money, success and what a good life looks like → Why purpose driven work hits differently once you have children For the mother who has achieved everything she was supposed to and is quietly wondering if she is allowed to want something different.

Moments #62 - I Finally Like The Person I See In The Mirror — On Self Acceptance, Self Worth and The Journey To Get Here - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
If I met myself at a party I think I would want to sit down and have a conversation. And I think I would walk away thinking — wow, that person is really something. For someone who spent years being insecure, this is major. This episode is about self acceptance. The kind that holds both things at once — knowing you are a work in progress and still liking the person you are right now. I talk about the practical things that built my confidence. And I talk about what sits underneath all of that. Keeping my own word to myself. Doing hard things. Sitting in uncomfortable seasons. The faith that has carried me. And ultimately learning that I do not need to be perfect to be valued. In this episode: → The difference between self acceptance and perfection — you can hold both at the same time → The practical things that built my baseline confidence → What actually got me here → What self acceptance gives you in your work, your parenting and your ambition I am a work in progress. I am also enough. Both things are true. And getting to that place has been the most worthwhile journey of my life.

#132 - The Mental Load Is Real — On Invisible Labour, The Default Parent And The App Built To Fix Family Admin - Therese Wynn-Davies
Why is it always mum who knows what day non-uniform day is? Therese is the founder of Hey Ladybird — an AI powered app that turns school emails, WhatsApp messages and permission slips into an organised family calendar. She built it because she was living the problem every single day. In this episode we talk about the mental load and the invisible labour that falls disproportionately on mothers — from being the default school contact even in two parent households, to the way women's bandwidth quietly gets consumed by unpaid family admin instead of career growth. In this episode: → The story behind Hey Ladybird and how it actually works → Why mums become the default parent for school and childcare admin even when that was never the plan → What the mental load is really costing women's careers → Founder lessons from building parenting tech and raising millions for charity → How to reframe criticism and use a backhanded compliment as fuel For the mother who is holding all the information in her head right now and wondering why it always seems to be her.

Moments #61 - Why I No Longer Tie My Confidence To How I Look — On Motherhood, Image and Self Worth - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
Pre-mum me wore heels a lot because I tied a significant part of how I felt about myself to how dressed up I was. Motherhood changed that. First out of necessity then out of choice. Jumpsuits, trainers, and somewhere across 3 to 5 years of motherhood the casual dressing stopped feeling like a compromise and started feeling like exactly enough. But there is more to it than just the clothes. In this episode: → The jumpsuit era — optimising to get out of the house with two small children and how that accidentally started everything → Why living in a social media vacuum has been one of the most quietly powerful things for my confidence → What happens when you stop comparing and start actually liking yourself → Why confidence that is not dependent on what you are wearing is a different kind of confidence entirely → What I want my daughter to observe — it is good to look your best, but do not lose yourself in the process It started out of necessity and somewhere in between I found a version of confidence I did not know I was missing.

#131 - 6 Experiences Before Motherhood That Shaped The Mother I Am Today - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
Not every lesson that shapes you as a mother happens after you become one. This episode is my top six experiences from before motherhood that I now recognise as the foundations of the mother I am today. → Solo travel → Quitting my job and navigating a career pivot → Solitude → Losing my mum at 9 → Frugality with money → Heartbreak Motherhood blows everything wide open. The rules change. The priorities shift. And suddenly you are back to basics in a way you never expected. But you are not starting from scratch. You are anchored by everything you quietly lived before they arrived. That is why these six experiences matter to me.

Moments #60 -My 3 Year Old Asks For Everything. I Learned To Do The Same — On Asking, Fear and Unlimiting Yourself - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
My daughter asked to go inside a woman's house I had just finished a professional shoot at. My immediate instinct was absolutely not. That is odd and a bit much. She got really upset. And knowing my daughter, really upset has only one destination. So I knocked on the door and asked. The woman said yes. My daughter asked without knowing that asking can be scary. No history of rejection. No internal calculation of whether it was reasonable. Just the ask. I have that history. And I am asking anyway. In this episode: → Why children ask without fear — and what we lose when we stop doing the same → The difference between asking without evidence and asking despite it → Jia Jiang's rejection theory and what deliberately seeking no teaches you about the ask → What my children's unlimited asking has done to my own inhibitions For the woman who has talked herself out of the ask before she has even opened her mouth. This one might change that. 💛

#130 - The UK's First Parent Discount Platform — How She Engineered Cubbi, Pitched Dragons Den Pregnant and Secured £50,000 - Olivia Davson
She walked into the Dragons Den at 9 months pregnant. She walked out with £50,000. Her son arrived a week later. Olivia is the co-founder of Cubbi — the UK's first discount platform for new and expecting parents. But this episode is not just about the Den moment. It is about everything that came before it and the conviction that carried them through when nothing else could. In this episode: → Pitching Dragons Den at 9 months pregnant — the decision, the room and what happened next → What it actually cost to build Cubbi before anyone was watching → The sister dynamic — building something this significant with someone you trust → The free coffee that got a new mother out of the house for the first time all week → What motherhood gave her as a founder that she could not have had otherwise → Starting before you are ready and why conviction matters more than timing For the mother who is paying attention to the threads quietly coming together in her own life. Sometimes the timing that looks wrong is exactly right.

Moments #59 - Nobody Told Me What To Actually Look For In A Partner — On Support, Village And The Things That Matter When You Have Kids - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
When I was dating I was filtering for career ambition and drive above almost everything else. Nobody told me that the game changes completely when you have children. Because it turns out that what actually determines how you show up as a mother — whether you can work, build something, stay fit, stay sane — is not your own ability. It is your capacity. And capacity is shaped mainly by the support around you. For me that support comes in the form of my mother in law. As someone who lost my own mum young, that village is not just helpful. It carries me. And it made me think about everything I was not filtering for when I was dating. His parents. His level of kindness on a bad day. Whether he could hold the children independently and fully. Whether your parenting styles would complement each other over the long run. Nobody tells you to look for that. But maybe they should. In this episode: → Why it is not ability that determines what mothers can achieve — it is capacity → What I was filtering for when dating versus what actually matters when you have kids → The village, the in laws and why their support changes everything → Why parenting styles that complement each other matter more than shared interests And honestly? I did not plan any of this. I just happened to fall into the right village.

#129 - All Inclusive With Kids — Why Being Surrounded By Other Families' Chaos Is Actually The Best Thing - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
It is not a holiday when you go away with small children. It is a change of location. The chaos comes with you! But our first all inclusive family holiday was actually memorable for the right reasons. It was nice to be somewhere designed for exactly the chaos you are carrying. On the plane my daughter was an official flight attendant helper. She made friends with the family sitting next to her before we had even taken off. By the time we landed she had already lived a full social life. And that was just the journey there. In this episode: → Why being surrounded by other families in full chaotic flow is one of the most reassuring things you can do as a parent → Reading a novel for the sake of it → Why the all inclusive format is one that I am tempted to repeat every single year For the parent who is wondering whether a family holiday is actually worth it. It is. Just not in the way you expect.

Moments #58 - My Daughter Had A Mean Girl Moment — On Group Think, Stepping Back and Raising Resilient Children - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
My 3 year old daughter had a mean girl experience on holiday this week. Every instinct in me wanted to swoop in and fix it. But instead I stepped in gently, with humour, and tried to show her something more useful. As we walked away I told her that sometimes people will be mean. And we practised her stern voice together so she is ready for next time. In this episode: → Fighting the immediate parental instinct to swoop in and fix everything → Why I stepped in with humour rather than to punish or humiliate → The long game — building resilience versus building dependence → Parenting is just trying different things and hoping you land somewhere good enough I do not know if I got it right. But I am hoping I got close enough.

#128 - She Was Made Redundant Because Of Sleep Deprivation. Now She Researches It For A Living — Nicole Ratcliffe
You tried the sleep method and it did not work. That is not your fault. Nicole Ratcliffe knows this better than most. Chronic sleep deprivation after having her child derailed a high-earning career, led to redundancy, and forced her into the most difficult period of her life. What came out of it was a complete reinvention — and a mission to change the way we treat sleep at every level. Because sleep is not a nice to have. It is the foundation that everything else sits on. Your work. Your relationships. Your ability to show up as a parent. Your mental health. When the sleep goes, everything else quietly starts to follow. In this episode: → How sleep deprivation ended Nicole's career and what she built from the wreckage → Why the sleep industry is solving the wrong problem — and why one size fits all advice was never going to work for your family → The research connecting sleep deprivation to parental depression across 1,000+ parents → Why sleep health needs to be treated like a seatbelt — non-negotiable and built into the system For the ambitious mother running on empty and wondering why everything feels harder than it should. This might be why.

Moments #57 - On Letting Go, Self Forgiveness and The Only Way To Actually Enjoy Parenting - Tiffany Sanya Scott
The passport arrived. One day before we left. 😅 Living on the edge or what? Maybe the passport situation was not just a stressful logistical nightmare. Maybe it was a lesson I clearly still needed. Because the truth is, parenting humbles you constantly. Even with the best plan in place, things will go wrong. And the only way to actually enjoy this season — really enjoy it, not just survive it — is to let go of the need for everything to be perfect. Including yourself. In this episode: → Closing the passport loop → Why self forgiveness is not optional in parenting, it is essential → How shortening the gap between a mistake and moving on changes everything → What our children learn from watching us handle things going wrong → Why grace is something you must give yourself over and over again For the parent who is still being a little too hard on themselves. You are doing your best and it is enough.
