Today’s episode is featuring a mumma of 2, biz mumma of 3, a mentor and friend of mine, Rochene Hawley (Ro).

Ro knows first hand what it’s like to do things differently and be in the firing line of a lot of criticism, judgment and comments from those around her as she navigates life on her terms.

I have always been inspired by Ro at her ability to hold her own, even when those around her disagree, and I know this can be particularly tough on mothers.

Many of us can hear our inner knowing - those little inklings inside that say “hey, do this, move there, leave that job”
Yet we shut them down, ignore them and do the total opposite.. Even when we want to follow the voice.
