In this episode, we dive deep into the mindset work that helps you move through fear and resistance as a business owner. Fear often hides behind procrastination, avoidance, and self-doubt, blocking your path to achieving the big goals you’ve envisioned. But what if you could transform fear into a catalyst for growth?

In this episode I discuss:

• How to identify and unpack your fears 
• Why getting to the root cause is essential, why fears exist and how they connect to past experiences, patterns, or inherited beliefs
• The importance of shifting the role fear plays in our life: how to neutralize fear, accept its presence, and still take bold action toward your goals
• Discover how to cultivate self-worth and unshakable confidence that can withstand criticism, judgment, and vulnerability
• Turn fear into a motivator by anchoring your vision as bigger than your fear.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear often shows up in surprising ways, from procrastination to imposter syndrome, fear of judgment, or fear of failure.
• Addressing the layers of fear helps you uncover its root cause—whether it’s societal conditioning, childhood experiences, or other triggers.
• Resilience grows when you stop trying to eradicate fear and instead learn to live alongside it, befriending it as a teacher.
• Your vision must be more powerful than your fear to propel you forward.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re a mom balancing motherhood and a growing business
• You’ve set big goals but feel stuck due to self-doubt or hesitation
• You’re ready to embrace courage, take action, and elevate your business while honoring your values

Join me as we unpack the fears that hold us back and learn how to move forward with confidence and clarity.

With love,

Sallyanne shares her expertise on creating a fulfilling life after divorce, addressing financial and emotional barriers, and setting up sustainable pathways to independence—especially for mothers navigating the dual challenges of leaving a partnership and building a business.

Key discussion points include:

• Why Women Are Leading the Shift in Relationship Dynamics: Sallyanne shares trends in cis-hetero relationships, where women are increasingly initiating separation and reasons for this.

• Strategic Preparation for Leaving: Learn how to build a financial and emotional safety net before exiting a relationship, from ensuring visibility of shared assets to starting or scaling a flexible business that honors family priorities.
• Overcoming Financial and Emotional Challenges: We dive into the fears many mothers face when leaving a partner—lost autonomy, parenting as the primary caregiver, and managing finances alone—and explore actionable steps to navigate these hurdles confidently.
• The Role of Self-Care and Clarity: Sallyanne emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, understanding personal values, and staying grounded during high-conflict negotiations. She also discusses how clear boundaries and compromises can ease separation processes while protecting your emotional well-being.
• Reframing Guilt and Motherhood: We discuss the pervasive guilt mothers feel about choosing themselves, revealing how prioritizing self-fulfillment can ultimately create a healthier environment for both mothers and their children. Sallyanne shares touching reflections from her adult daughter, who expressed pride and admiration for her mother’s decision to choose herself. This candid exchange highlights how modelling self-respect and resilience can have a lasting positive influence on children and offers a reframe for this motherhood guilt.
• Finding the Strength to Leave: For mothers wrestling with the decision to stay or go, Sallyanne provides reassurance that choosing oneself is not inherently selfish but a path to creating a more fulfilling and stable future for the entire family. There are ways to shape-shift what "family" looks like and re-write the rules for yourself. 
• Practical Advice for Navigating Separation: From managing emotions to setting boundaries, Sallyanne shares actionable strategies to approach

This episode is a detailed breakdown with ideas and examples for moms at different stages of business to design their ideal maternity leave experience.

In this episode we discuss:

• How to plan your marketing so that when you return from maternity leave you can hit the ground running
• Dividing your marketing into pre-scheduled, delegated and automated 
• Changing your relationship to and cadence of social media marketing so that it works for you in your new season of life (without the stress of "HAVING TO" consistently post)

• Systems and structures that hold your business together so that you don't have to be burdened by everything alone
• Team roles and my suggestion for at least one investment that is so worth the ROI in my opinion

Planning your maternity leave as a business owner can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategy, it becomes an empowering process. In this episode of The Mothered Business Podcast, I share my personal journey of preparing for maternity leave as a mom, business owner, and coach. Drawing on the expertise I have had in helping countless clients design customized maternity leave plans, I openly offer how I thought about strategizing my own leave as well as actionable strategies for mothers balancing entrepreneurship with impending motherhood.

Things I share about in this episode:

• Tailored Maternity Leave Plans: How I created a a plan that aligns with my unique needs, business model, values and financial goals. One of the key things I learned through my own process is what I truly desires and how to not make that wrong for myself! It looks different to what I have supported many clients with in their own maternity leave design, and I feel SO good about how mine works for me.
• Financial Strategy: One of the hardest things on a relationship is sleep deprivation and newborn transitions, but adding financial pressure to that is a recipe for disaster. That's why I always focus on financial strategy with clients who are prepping to take time off with their baby, and it was also one of my core focuses for my own leave. Financial stability during maternity leave is a big reason why entrepreneurship can be a conduit for more freedom if you're building your business intentionally. 
• Client Care Systems: I don't have a "passive" business model. In fact, my business is as high touch as it gets. That's why I needed to consider how to design client care while juggling postpartum and maternity leave. I share my insights on renegotiating client agreements and creating schedules that ensure seamless support for clients while allowing for personal time away.
• Team and System Optimization: Expanding support was essential for me! Not just inside my business but also inside my home. I share why the maternity leave I designed for myself is possible and why I think periods like this can actually accelerate growth for business. 
• Balancing Motherhood and Work: This is going to be an evolving process. At the time of this recording, everything was still hypothetical in nature. Giving myself permission to evolve, change anything that's not working in reality, or be flexible around what I anticipate to work well is going to be really important for my health and the success of my work, too. Like I tell my clients, balancing motherhood and business as a CEO requires an open mind, creativity, imaginative reimagining of possibilities and a commitment to listening to that inner voice regardless of the "rules" (either you have made or have been imposed on you).  This is both practical AND a mindset piece. Ultimately, I wholeheartedly believe that m

The concepts of the motherhood penalty, maternal wall, and maternal wage gap are closely interlinked, all centering on the economic and professional challenges that mothers face. This episode is a breakdown of each and how they overlap, including how they show up specifically in business!

In this episode we discuss:

• The Motherhood Penalty as a concept (and the Fatherhood Bonus)
• The Maternal Wall as a concept
• The Maternal Wage Gap as a concept
• Why these systems are entrenched in economic policies and processes, and how they show up in our own businesses (sometimes subliminally)
• The many reasons that motherhood / parenthood often feels so challenging and why you're not wrong for sometimes feeling like things are working against you
• AND the mindset and powerful reclamation we have the opportunity to change cynical patterns for ourselves and future generations 
• Why I am so passionate about creative entrepreneurship and making our own rules as mothers in business

As we reflect on the year behind us and the one ahead of us, I introduce my Pause, Push, and Pace Periods framework, a game-changing approach to planning your year in business. This framework is designed to help you manage energy, avoid burnout, and sustain growth, all while honoring your personal life and family priorities.

This episode is perfect for busy mothers and business owners seeking to create a business model that works with their life, not against it. The Pause, Push, and Pace framework empowers you to honor your priorities, stay consistent, and feel fulfilled in both business and motherhood.

In this episode I discuss:

• aligning business strategies with personal priorities to avoid burnout and create a sustainable workflow
• why recognizing different seasons in life and business helps align goals with energy levels and capacity
• how to think about the challenges of balancing caregiving roles, personal life, and professional goals as a mother in business
• why it's non negotiable to schedule time for reflection, recalibration, and rest
• the way we have come to shame (and should NOT) high-energy, focused sprint sessions for achieving significant milestones in our business (this is key to big growth)
• creating a steady, sustainable rhythm of daily operations unique to YOU

Reflection Prompts for You:

1. What worked well in your business this year, and what didn’t?
2. How can you create a cohesive, growth-oriented, and nurturing year?
3. What steps do you need to take to ensure alignment between your business and personal life in 2025?

With love,

Robyn xo
