SwissCast Shows: Where Swiss Life Meets English Voices

How do you protect your energy when motherhood, business, and the mental load all keep asking for more?

Anna Lianna-Monnier helps women care for their emotional health more intentionally, and in this episode we talk about what burnout can look like in real life, why self-care has to go deeper than quick fixes, and how to stop running on empty while trying to hold everything together.

What Anna shares:

• How becoming a mom, supporting a child with health needs, and going through burnout twice completely changed the way she approached work, rest, and self-care
• Why burnout is not always obvious at first
• How asking for help, getting honest about your needs, and protecting small moments of rest can help you care for yourself without guilt.

This stuck with me:

When Anna says that no one can be mom to your child. That really puts things back into perspective. For mompreneurs, it is such an important reminder that losing momentum in business for a season does not mean you are failing. Sometimes it means you are honoring what matters most right now, and that is a form of wisdom, not weakness.

How do you reconnect with yourself when motherhood changes your body, your pace, your business, and the way you experience desire?

Stephanie Hickey is a sex, love, and relationship coach who helps women take radical self-responsibility for their pleasure, happiness, and relationships, and in this episode we talk about desire, people-pleasing, motherhood, and the slow, honest work of rediscovering who you are now.

What Stephanie shares:

• Why motherhood can force a full rediscovery of your body, your desires, and the woman you are becoming
• How pleasure is not only about sex, but about presence, self-connection, and learning to notice what actually feels good
• Why women who do not know what they desire often struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, and making space for themselves

This stuck with me:

When Stephanie said that some women stop even asking themselves what they desire after becoming mothers. That landed hard, because so many mompreneurs are not just rebuilding a business after baby, they are rebuilding their relationship with themselves.

Why did this podcast need to exist now?

In this very first episode, I’m sharing the story behind Hey Boss Mama, how motherhood completely changed the way I work, and why I felt such a strong need to create a space where mompreneurs could connect, feel less alone, and grow with more support.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Why becoming a mom changed not just my schedule, but my identity, ambitions, and business priorities
• How Hey Boss Mama grew from a podcast idea into a bigger mission around community, support, and shared growth
• Why overwhelm and isolation are such common threads for mompreneurs, even when things look good from the outside

This stuck with me:

I did not just want to hear more business advice. I wanted real conversations with other mom entrepreneurs who understood what it actually feels like to build something while raising a child and carrying the mental load that comes with it.

Next step:

Join the Hey Boss Mama Facebook group and come connect with other mompreneurs who are figuring this out too.
