Are you a mother yet you still don't feel completely fulfilled with life?
Do you have ambitions that you know are waiting to be discovered but need more guidance and support to get there?
Perhaps you're ready for a change but not quite sure what?
Is your inner voice yearning for wisdom and advice from other people who have walked in your shoes?
If so, you're in the right place. Kate Moryoussef, Wellbeing and Emotional Freedom coach and mother to four children, hosts The Ambitious Mum podcast talking to different women about how ambition and motherhood change and evolve during the many stages of our lives.
The conversations offer honest, compassionate, vulnerable, authentic and supportive life, career, spirituality, wellbeing and parenting wisdom and insights - as well as challenge the unspoken realities women face - into the expectations and pressures of balancing the demands of leaning into our ambitions and being the mothers we aspire to be.
Each guest will offer their perspective about how their own evolving ambitions have impacted their lives and what they continue to learn during this process.

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.

Getting curious about your own inner beliefs and what you think to be "true" about yourself.
Joining Kate today is Shelley Bosworth, an ex-corporate, straight-talking, women’s mindset coach.
After turning 40, experiencing a health scare and personal loss, Shelley decided that she wanted ‘more’ and set about changing her path. She now helps ambitious female business owners take back control of their life and break free of their self-limiting beliefs to step into the ‘more’ they have always dreamt of.
During this episode, hear Shelly and Kate discuss limiting beliefs, how they could be holding you back and the different ways they show up. They also discuss normalising and sharing how you really feel about your inner beliefs and how it's attached to your self-worth - Shelley reminds us that we have full control over our own beliefs and thoughts.
Also hear about DiSC profiling, what this test is and how it can really benefit not just your relationship with yourself, but those closest to you and even your working relationships
Connect with Shelley via her Website, Instagram and her Facebook Group for women.

If you feel creatively blocked or deprived, this episode may inspire you to take stock and chase your creative desires. Choosing to leave your lucrative banking career to follow your dream at drama school, alongside having two small children, seems pretty crazy but for Esther Wane it was the best thing she ever did.
Creativity can be hard to identify with, or at times feel way out of reach. Today's guest, creative coach and storyteller, Esther Wane helps to unlock that sense of creation and purpose within people.
Esther's soul searching began following a difficult emotional time after having her children and leaving her corporate job. She then began following her own purpose and training as an actor after leaving her corporate career gave Esther what her daughter described as a "glow-up".
During this episode, Kate and Esther talk more about:
? It's about those small choices you make to reach your purpose
? Ask what do I want to do next?
? Giving up self-doubt for over a year - and how that led her to a successful blog
? The harder and darker experiences of motherhood
? The concept of "The Creative Hero’s Journey"
? Living life as your heroic self and moving past obstacles that prevent you from living a life more aligned to a purpose
? How we grow and learn as humans in small yet monumental ways
? Allowing creativity to flow in all areas of your life - not just through art
? How creativity pops in when we have quieter minds, such as driving or in the shower - notice these moments
? If we stop for long enough, we do know more than we think - we don't need to know the whole journey, just the next step
? The joy is in the process and making conscious choices along the way
? Living authentically can make the process fun, without always focussing on the outcome
? Learning on the job, honing in on the joy and the 'why' and trying not to focus on the how
? Notice who and what inspires you
? Gratitude and what genuinely matters to us
? Use your vision board with intent, but without specifics
? Using meditation, however that looks like to you

“If I couldn't fail and I was living without this limiting belief, what would life look like?”
Could your procrastination and anxiety be caused by ancestral trauma? Kate's guest this week is Heather Sharples, a spiritual coach who helps mothers to break the cycle of inherited beliefs.
Hear Kate and Heather discuss how ancestral trauma can manifest as depression, anxiety, self-sabotage and generally "playing small". And learn how you can move beyond limiting beliefs.
The pair also delve into the huge topic of the mother wound, honouring the strength our mothers gave us and Heather gives practical modes of inner work that can allow you to heal the mother wound for your own children and family.
Heather and Kate also talk about:
→Collective mother wound - patriarchal beliefs that have been passed on
→Planetary mother wound - what is happening across the world as women
→Personal mother wound - generation to generation of self-sabotage or feelings of not feeling enough or worth enough
→ Suppressed inherited trauma being passed on over seven generations, the notion of epigenetics
→ Fear of abandonment and rejection, with this leading to abandoning our authentic selves
→ People pleasing
→ Breaking cycles of self-sabotage and the power that gives the next generation
→ Healing by resting
→Judging ourselves and how our children watch us all the time
→ Can we choose to see what strengths we have inherited from our mothers?
→ Where are our needs not being met?
→ How to allow our frustration to rise to show us where we need to change
→ How can we delegate to free ourselves from the pressure?
→ Are you a martyr to motherhood, full of resentment?
→ How the need for ancestral healing can be masked as depression and anxiety
→ How the notion of life 'happening to us' needs to be flipped

This week's episode is a special one as Kate chats to her good friend and former boss, Suzy Glaskie. After knowing each other for 16 years, this conversation is all about their shared experience of starting afresh when your previous career doesn't align with your heart anymore.
Despite her lifelong interest in holistic practices, after graduating from university Suzy became sidetracked from this with a long career in PR, which on the surface went from strength to strength. After having her children, Suzy even started her own PR company, alongside her husband, which grew rapidly and successfully yet when she looked around the office she knew this wasn't what she wanted forever.
This is where Suzy's holistic awakening took shape and after doing a reiki session with her very poorly father, she hit a turning point where she decided to leave her business - the very next day.
Kate and Suzy's talk about her long-time interest in wellbeing which then led her to retrain as a functional medicine lifestyle coach and launch her business, Peppermint Wellness, where she is now helping people from all walks of life in preventive health and emotional wellness.
Together Suzy and Kate talk about:
How health coaching is all about connection, gentle steps and hand-holding
The power of a daily gratitude practice
Creating a journal practice and using the writing to solidify our gratitude and desires
The importance of incorporating lifestyle prevention and wellness into our daily lives
The beauty of spending time in nature, however that looks like to you
Feeling misaligned with work and using this knowledge to leverage a new chapter in your life
Subtly imparting health knowledge and wisdom to children without turning them away.

"I felt like women had settled and I just wanted to say - you can redefine your life. You can come back to your dream."
In this wonderful episode of The Ambitious Mum Podcast, Kate is joined by author, speaker and founder of "Meant For More", Stephanie Hendrick.
During this conversation, listen to Kate and Stephanie discuss how children model parents' behaviour and how our attitude and actions around our own dreams impact them as they grow up. They both talk honestly about the process of realising ambition and addressing the fear around the word "purpose".
Stephanie tells us how she sensed the small universal nudges for several years that she wasn't living out her dreams and then, the final and clear nudge came from a conversation with her daughter on the way to school. Despite knowing she had more to offer, Stephanie then realised that time seems to speed up even more with kids and she wanted to fulfil her dreams before it was too late.
During this chat, we touch on:
▶️ Navigating everyone questioning her as she decided to walk away from her successful business
▶️ How purpose and passion can look so different to everyone
▶️ Very often at the beginning clarity isn't there
▶️ She advises to just take the first step, start small
▶️ Lean into the passion that's fuelling your creativity
▶️ Take small actionable steps to help inspire and have practical implementable goals
▶️ How a simple blog then turned into her book.
▶️ All she focussed on was serving ambitious women and mothers who believed there was more to their lives
▶️ Building a business on your own can be hard while navigating self-doubt, self-belief, being knocked back
▶️ Breaking down passion and purpose and all the nuances that come with these 'big' words
▶️ Exploring what are we good at/ what are we passionate about
▶️ Fear of failure and fear of judgement when changing direction. Yet the perceived failures only encourage resilience
▶️ Leaning into the uncertainty

Nehanda Truscott Reid is a Holistic Wellness Coach and founder of the Soul Mama Journey. When corporate life began to seriously clash with Nehanda’s values and the way she wanted to live during her first pregnancy, she realised that the hustle of her 'masculine' corporate job no longer aligned with where her soul was.
As she progressed throughout her pregnancy, Nehanda then began searching for a more spiritual connection and presence as she entered the journey of motherhood.
Kate and Nehanda discuss how the structures of modern life and the pressures of getting back to our pre-baby life once we give birth is disconnecting women from the sanctity, sacredness and magic of birth and motherhood.
They chat about how and why Nehanda is reclaiming ancient ways of feeling connected and resonant and focusing on being a mother rather than performing motherhood.
Together, Kate and Nehanda also talk cover:
✨ Sacred motherhood and reconnecting with ourselves and our community
✨ Reclaiming the sanctity of ancient motherhood
✨ The mother wound and how that shows up
✨ The healing womb space and what is 'womb wellness'
✨ Breaking ancestral and societal patterns
✨ Health and wellness disparities for women of colour
✨ Making wellbeing more accessible for all women
✨ The need for women of colour in the wellness and coaching space
✨ Decolonising motherhood
✨ Yielding - resistance to trusting in the power of rest and balance
✨ Tuning into the divine
✨ Making intentional and conscious choices to heal, learn, be aware
✨ Being triggered by our children and how to reframe these situations
✨ Being empowered by our female hormones

“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.
Isobel has provided some free resources for The Ambitious Mum Podcast audience:

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.
Kate Moryoussef is a Lifestyle & Wellbeing/EFT coach helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) mothers find more calm, balance, health, passion, creativity and clarity in their lives. By using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) in her coaching practice, Kate guides more women to rediscover their inner voice, 'tap' into their expansive potential, fulfill their desires and realise themselves outside of the overwhelm, inner pressure and family dynamic. She is also a mum to four children and hopes to write her own book someday!

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.

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

Seeing the results of passion and pursuit - how to realise your dream business idea during a pandemic!
Kate’s guest this week is the founder of The Woolf’s Kitchen, food writer, cook and mother of three, Dominique Woolf.
18 months ago Dominique came to Kate feeling unable to get her Thai inspired food idea off the ground - fast forward to April 2021 and The Woolf’s Kitchen spicy and tangy sauces and nut ranges are now stocked in the illustrious Selfridges Food Hall.
During the episode, entrepreneur and mother, Dominique shares with Kate the steps she took to see her passion project go from strength to strength, the goal setting and visualisation that saw her launch her sauces in June 2020, during lockdown with her three kids (then aged 3, 4 and 5) at home and no childcare.
The Woolf's Kitchen has recently been featured on BBC Breakfast, in The Independent (best hot sauces 2021), The Metro, The Times, Stylist Magazine’s Style List and This is Money amongst others. Now on a roll, Dominique is expanding her range and is working on two new spicy condiments.
Here's Dominque's post on Linked In that Kate mentions:

“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.

"Parenting is so much more emotional than it used to be"
Dr Siggie Cohen is Kate's guest on The Ambitious Mum podcast this week. California-based Dr Siggie is a child and parent specialist and an expert in aiding families to work through their issues as a wider family unit.
She explains to Kate how we can create space between what we want for our children, while also allowing the flow of life to happen. Siggie teaches parents to cope and practice more resilience so that they feel they don't have to shield and protect the children from all of life's unavoidable situations.
The pair also discuss parenting guilt, how to re-focus the way we view our working time and parenting time so that we can feel more positive and less emotional about the balance, as well as enjoying the experience of being a parent even more.
If you would like to contact Dr Siggie you can do so via her website where she has incredible free resources: https://learn.drsiggie.com/

Reflecting, remembering and re-centring.
