In 2019, a Bid Coordinator to Australia’s top agencies was on maternity leave and thought - God what do people do with all this spare time?

So what did she do? She joined a reality TV series documenting the lives of Melbourne’s wealthy young mums. 

But what people don’t realise is that long before Yummy Mummies ever hit our screens, Iva Marra was out there landing massive IT jobs, and grinding her way out of a childhood where “we can’t afford that” was the norm…

You see the glam, the attitude, the luxury parties but behind all of that is a woman who hustled for her way to success, raised 2 kids, built the lifestyle she never had as a child, and never once asked for permission.

You’ll hear

How Iva faked 20 years of experience and still got hired by a giant tech company

Why she thinks “believe in yourself” is the worst advice out there

The one saying that changed how she views everyone’s opinion of her

How she balances being a mum, running a business, and still throwing parties that go viral

And of course the 40th birthday party that was BIGGER than her wedding… + what went down

… and SO much more.
