EPISODE 9: It Takes a Village: Finding Support (Even When You Think You Have None)

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums with Jazmin Pursell

Who’s in your village—and how can you support someone else’s?

In this episode of Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums, Jazmin dives into the timeless saying “it takes a village to raise a child” and explores what that means in today’s busy, individualistic world. Sharing a personal story about parenting through illness, she opens up about a moment when she had to push past pride and ask another mum for help—and how that small act reminded her of the quiet power of community.

Jazmin also reflects on a formative experience from high school: a meal-drive program where families anonymously cooked for others going through tough times. It was an early lesson in compassion, showing how we can make a meaningful difference with something as simple as a home-cooked meal.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why your “village” may not look traditional—but still exists

• How to build a support network without extended family

• Ideas for giving back and supporting others in quiet, practical ways

• Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness

Whether you feel alone or deeply connected, this episode will remind you that support is all around—and we can all be part of someone else’s village too.

EPISODE 8: From Career Girl to Motherhood: My Story at 25🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums with Jazmin Pursell

In this heartfelt solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own journey to motherhood — becoming a mum at age 25, feeling disconnected from friends, and navigating the emotional and financial challenges that came with stepping away from a corporate career.

If you’re currently pregnant, on maternity leave, or thinking about how motherhood will impact your career and identity — this one is for you. I’m sharing how I moved through self-doubt, loneliness, and guilt, and how those early experiences shaped the work I do now to support other working mums.

You’ll hear:

• ​How my pregnancy shifted my friendships and identity
• ​The financial uncertainty I faced without paid leave
• ​Why I chose to study during naptimes and nights
• ​How my values and career goals transformed post-baby
• ​And why you don’t need to have it all figured out

I hope that by opening up, you'll feel seen, less alone, and more supported in your own motherhood journey.

EPISODE 7: Do you have to be super organised to habit-stack?

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums with Jazmin Pursell

Hi lovely professional mums — welcome back to Episode 7!
In this episode of Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums, I’m talking all about habit stacking — and how you can use it to make your health, wellbeing, and personal goals feel a whole lot more achievable.

I share how I introduced habit stacking into my own life during a major health overhaul, and how small, simple tweaks (like prepping my own snacks while preparing my daughters’ lunchboxes) made a huge difference to my energy and wellbeing.

You’ll hear some practical examples, like how you can add movement into your day without overhauling your whole schedule — and why even if you don't think you’re "a structured person," you already have routines that you can build on.

If you've been feeling like it’s hard to make big changes with your already-packed schedule, this episode will show you how to work smarter, not harder — by using what’s already working for you.

Let me know if you try some habit stacking in your own life — I’d love to hear about it and cheer you on!

EPISODE 6: From Stressed to Aligned: 3 Questions to Discover Your Core Values

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums with Jazmin Pursell

Hi lovely professional mums — welcome back to Episode 6!
In this episode of Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums, I’m diving into a topic that can make a huge difference in how we show up in our lives: living in alignment with our values.

I share three powerful reflection questions to help you uncover what really matters to you — and why understanding your values can bring more clarity, joy, and motivation into both your personal and professional life.

You'll also hear a little about my own journey, how I identified my 3 core values (connection, empowerment, and family), and how living in alignment with them changed everything for me.

If you’ve been feeling a bit disconnected, stressed, or unsure what’s next — this episode is for you. I hope it helps you feel more grounded and inspired as you move forward.

Let me know what core values resonate with you after listening — I’d love to hear from you and cheer you on!

EPISODE 5: From Overwhelmed to On Track: Setting Goals That Actually Work

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed with Jazmin Pursell

Hi lovely professional mums — welcome back to Episode 5!

In this episode of Smart, Successful and Stressed, I’m talking about goal setting—specifically how professional mums like us can go from feeling completely overwhelmed to actually making progress on the things that matter most.

I share the three main types of goals I see come up time and time again: health, emotional wellbeing, and career. I also explain why stacking too many goals on your plate at once can leave you feeling stuck (or like you’re failing at everything), and what I’ve learned about choosing realistic, doable goals instead.

If you’ve ever felt like you're trying to do all the things and not quite getting anywhere—this one’s for you. I hope it inspires you to focus on what really counts right now.

Let me know what goals you're working on—I’d love to cheer you on.

EPISODE 4: When Comparison Steals Your Confidence (and Why I Stuck with Zumba Anyway)

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed with Jazmin Pursell

Hi lovely professional mums — welcome back to Episode 4!

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real (and a little funny) story from my very first Zumba class.

Spoiler: I was way out of my comfort zone and almost didn’t go back. I’ll be talking all about comparison — how it creeps in when we’re doing something new, how it holds us back, and how we can reframe it to help us grow.

Whether it’s in your professional life, motherhood, or just trying something new like Zumba, comparison can make you feel like you’re not good enough. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be perfect to keep showing up.

🎥 This episode is also available in video format on my YouTube channel if you’d like to watch and chat along more interactively.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you — DM me and let me know where comparison has popped up in your life, and how you’ve moved through it.

Thanks so much for listening! 💛

🎧 Episode 3: Why being a ‘good mother’ is good enough

In this episode of Smart, Successful + Stressed Mums, we dig even deeper into the expectations modern mothers place on themselves—especially when comparing the idea of the perfect mum versus the good mum.

We explore:

• Why the "perfect mum" is a myth (yes, even for celebrity mums!)

• The emotional and physical resources that shape our daily parenting decisions

• What being a good mum actually looks like (hint: it's not about perfect lunchboxes or perfect outfits)

• A vulnerable story from my own recent recovery from oral surgery that made parenting feel impossibly hard—but still, I showed up

You’ll also hear why “good enough” really is enough, and how this shift in perspective can support not only your mental health, but your confidence and connection with your kids.

This episode is your reminder to release perfection, honour your current capacity, and show yourself some real grace.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to share this with another working or professional mum who could use this reminder.

🎙️ Episode 2: The Perfect Mum Pressure Starts Early (and Sticks Around)

In this episode of Smart, Successful + Stressed Mums, I’m diving deeper into the “perfect mum” myth—where it comes from, how we internalise it without even realising, and how it starts impacting us (and our daughters) earlier than we think.

I reflect on the Netflix doco Martha, and how icons like Martha Stewart helped shape early versions of the perfectionist mum ideal—even before social media. I also share a real-life story from a school photo day gone wrong, and the lingering guilt that came with it (yep, she still reminds me of it to this day!).

This is an honest look at how unrealistic mum standards creep into our daily lives—and why it's time to let go of the pressure to be polished, perfect, and always prepared.

💬 I'd love to hear how the perfect mum myth has shown up in your life. Send me a DM or email—I truly want to connect.
