In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, Jools explores how the five people you spend the most time with are quietly shaping your standards, mindset, and even your career decisions.

After being quoted in the Sunday Times and experiencing a moment of comparison, Jools unpacks a powerful reframe: it’s not about after-school clubs or external success. It’s about the traits and behaviours being normalised in the rooms you occupy.

Drawing on neuroscience-informed coaching principles and inspired by Tara Swart’s work on social influence and mindset, Jools shares a practical visual exercise to help you:

• Identify the five people influencing your thinking
• Recognise which traits you are unconsciously mirroring
• Spot where comparison is body data, not failure
• Curate your environment to support expansion instead of self-doubt
• Make more intentional, sovereign decisions

This episode is for high-functioning mothers who feel successful on paper but quietly restless, and who want to stop shrinking and start designing their next chapter with intention.

Manifesting, in this context, isn’t magic. It’s design. It’s about choosing the rooms that raise your standards.

Stop calling it burnout.

What if you’re not exhausted because you’re doing too much…
but because you’re building a life that doesn’t actually fit.

We’re told to hustle. Set SMART goals. Push harder. Optimise everything.

And then motherhood hits.
And suddenly the goals that once felt powerful feel hollow. Heavy. Like another thing to carry.

In this episode, I’m gently but firmly challenging the burnout story.

Because sometimes it isn’t burnout.

It’s misalignment.

It’s building goals that look impressive on paper but don’t feel safe in your body anymore.

I’m sharing my Soul Goal framework, rooted in NLP and behavioural science, to help you design goals that feel aligned with your values, your energy and your season of life.

Not ego goals.
Soul goals.

Goals that expand your life instead of squeezing it.

You’ll hear:

• Why traditional goal setting ignores motherhood completely
• The difference between burnout and chronic misalignment
• How to design the feeling first, before the strategy
• The neuroscience behind sensory visualisation and why it rewires motivation
• A simple three-step framework you can use this week

It’s about designing a life that feels like you again.

Because you don’t need more pressure.

You need more purpose.

Ever feel exhausted even when you’re doing all the “right” things?
If rest still isn’t touching your tiredness and you can’t remember the last time you felt genuinely energised, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing one simple but powerful habit that restores energy when sleep, rest, and productivity hacks are not working. Inspired by Brené Brown’s work on play and my own realisation that I’d quietly stopped doing it, this episode introduces a practical tool you can use immediately to refill your emotional tank and reconnect with yourself.

This is not about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding why play is not optional, especially in motherhood, and how reintroducing it changes how you feel, think, and show up.

You’ll hear:

• Recognise why you can feel exhausted even when you’re resting

• Identify what play actually means for you, not for anyone else

• Learn how to create small, realistic “play pockets” in everyday life

• Understand why play restores energy faster than pushing through

• Explore how modelling play gives your children permission to keep their joy

Feeling stuck in life or work? If you feel unfulfilled, confused, or like something doesn’t fit anymore, this episode will help you understand why.

Feeling stuck isn’t a failure it’s often a signal. In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, we unpack the real reason so many mums feel stuck after motherhood, especially in their careers, identity, or sense of direction. More often than not, it’s not a lack of clarity it’s avoiding a change you already know you need to make.

I share a personal moment when I realised I wasn’t actually stuck at all I was choosing comfort over fulfilment. If you’ve been overthinking, waiting for the right time, or telling yourself “now’s not the moment,” this episode will help you see what’s really keeping you in place and how to move forward without burning everything down.

You’ll hear why feeling stuck is often a sign you’ve outgrown your current life, how waiting for clarity keeps you looping, the difference between fear and intuition, why comfort can quietly block change, and one simple question to sit with this week if something feels off.

If this episode resonated and you want support navigating a path less travelled, I've got you. Head to www.mamasflightpath.com to see ways we can work together

If you’re a mum who looks fine on paper but feels quietly misaligned inside, this episode is for you.

From the outside, your life works. You’re coping. You’re juggling work, kids, money, and responsibility.
But inside, something feels off and instead of clarity, you’re stuck procrastinating, overthinking, and telling yourself you can’t change anything right now.

In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, I share why procrastination isn’t laziness or a motivation problem it’s a self-trust issue. And why so many working mums feel stuck not because they need to do more, but because they’ve been trying to do it all.

This is a practical tool episode for mums who want change without burning their life down.

• Why mums who juggle everything often feel the most disconnected from themselves

• How “doing it all” quietly erodes self-trust

• Why procrastination is fear disguised as logic

• A simple way to reconnect with your inner voice (your inner mentor)

• How to make small, aligned changes without quitting your job or blowing everything up

This episode is for you if:

• You’re a working mum or school-run mum who feels stuck or behind

• You look successful on the outside but misaligned on the inside

• You want change, clarity, or direction without burning it all down

• You’re tired of overthinking and want to trust yourself again

If this episode spoke to you, share it with a mum who looks fine on paper but knows something inside needs care.

Ever find yourself saying yes when every part of you wants to scream no?

If you’re a mum who feels exhausted, resentful, or disconnected from herself , this episode is for you.

In this Mama’s Flight Path tool episode, I’m sharing a simple but powerful coaching technique called Meet Your Inner Toddler. It’s designed to help people-pleasing mums reconnect with their needs, set boundaries without guilt, and stop over-explaining their no.

Inspired by a very real moment of overwhelm (and a sunrise that changed everything), this episode will help you understand why people-pleasing happens, how it’s linked to safety and conditioning, and how to start listening to the part of you that already knows what you need.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why people-pleasing isn’t about being “too nice”

• How your inner toddler acts as a compass for honest boundaries

• A simple check-in you can use before saying yes

• How to say no without guilt, justification, or burnout

• One reflection to take with you this week

This episode is for mums who are done putting themselves last — and ready to protect their energy without becoming “selfish”.

What One Conversation Taught Me About Designing a Life On Purpose

So many women don’t feel lost they feel quietly unfulfilled. And that’s often harder to name.

In this conversation, I sit down with Dr Giselle Goodwin to explore the question so many women are afraid to ask out loud:
Can we really have it all AND what does that even mean?

This episode planted the seed for how I now live, work, and design my life and it’s the reason I’m now running a retreat with Giselle.

If you’ve achieved what you were “supposed to” but still feel a pull towards something more meaningful, this conversation might be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

• Why fulfilment isn’t about doing more

• The difference between success and meaning

• How purpose becomes clear when you stop forcing answers

• Why alignment matters more than ambition

If this conversation stirred something in you and you feel ready to explore what on purpose looks like for your life, I’d love to invite you to our Thinking Space Luxury retreat I’m hosting with Dr Giselle Goodwin, in the Algarve!

📩 Message me directly or book a connection call https://calendly.com/hello-mamasflightpath/new-meeting

we will be back on schedule next! Till then, stay Flocking Fabulous darling!

Ever found yourself rolling into a new year feeling pressure to fix, decide, or have it all figured out ? When what you really need is a pause?

If you’re a mama who’s tired of setting goals from guilt, comparison, or survival mode… this episode is for you.

This New Year’s Day episode of Mama’s Flight Path is a gentle invitation to do things differently.

Instead of jumping straight into goals or resolutions, I’m slowing things down and sharing the six reflection questions I’m asking myself as I step into 2026, questions that helped me process a year of huge change, redundancy, identity shifts, and choosing a more aligned way of living and working as a mama. Scroll to the bottom for the questions 👇🏼

I also introduce a simple but powerful idea from psychology: choosing one guiding word for your year and I share why my word for 2026 is Magic.

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about noticing who you’re becoming — and choosing what you want to carry forward.

• The 6 reflection questions every mum needs before setting New Year goals (scroll down for the 6 questions 👇🏼)
• Why New Year’s resolutions don’t really work for mums
• How redundancy forced me to reconnect with who I actually am
• The difference between borrowed goals and soul goals
• Why comparison drains your energy — and how to step away from it
• How choosing one word can guide your entire year
• What “Magic” means to me and how language shapes the life you create
