This week we dive into a magical episode with my great friend Donna Hann. Not only does she choose great friends 😂😂, but she also is a rockstar in the business world, and she's turning this expertise to supporting mums emerging into their business journey.

Donna previously owned Dance Kix, and you can learn all about this journey, and her transition to She's in Business right here today. In fact, if you are looking for a business mentor, then Donna currently has the doors open to her Ready to Rise program.

Today I introduce you to Dr Hilary Claire, a clinical psychologist who specialises in nutritional and environmental medicine. She works specifically with mum's to help them move out of exhaustion, depletion and overwhelm, and towards a optimal motherhood. 

She blends nutritional supprot with supporting mums to become healthy and resilienct. She is a rockstar in low tox living, and the strategies you can employ as a busy mum to make this a reality. You can find out more about her at her website, where you can also buy her book, The Motherhood Reset.

This week I get the absolute pleasure of chatting with Lou Duggan. Not only is she a sharp entrepreneur, growing her business Cakes 2 the Rescue exponentially over the last few years, she is also a mum to 3 amazing kids!

Lou Duggan is so proud of the life she is creating, how it shows her girls that they can achieve anything, and is vulnerably open about the role that her business played in pulling her out of the loneliness of motherhood.

I very much loved this chat, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

This weeks episode is with Lauren Oliver, the founder of Mums who Wine.She is a rockstar in the supporting mum's world, and has created a safe, inclusive and connected space for mum's all over Australia to feel connected again.

Mums Who Wine was founded by Lauren Oliver. As a mother of two young boys and working in a high stress, demanding corporate job, Lauren was constantly plagued with "mummy guilt" when she desired time for herself. It shortly became evident that without this time, Lauren was less effective, less nurturing and was slowly losing her identity outside of her role as "mum". Through Lauren's desire to connect with other mothers, she created a facebook group, which eventually became Mum's who Wine. 

We discuss her move from corporate world to this world, and some of the good and the bad of this motherhood gig!

In the final episode of my bite sized 5 Pillars week (welcome to all of the new listeners), I am chatting about the importance of connection.

As humans, we are wired to connect. And to do this, we need to have support around us to make it happen. I jump into some simple ways as mums we can foster connection. 

Knowing that in the last few years this major pillar of health has ultimately suffered (hello lockdowns'), this week I have re-started by Work.Mama.Life.Lounge. A place to connect and be with other working mum's. Here's the link if you want more info.

In episode 4 of this 5 Pillars series, I have a quick chat about sleep. Yes I know, it's pretty laughable, but sleep can tell us so much about our health, our sense of inner stress, and our handle that we currently have on 'all the things'.

You can access my sleep support download at https://www.draliyoung.com/mamasleep

And if you are interested in the Work.Mama.Life.Lounge, the doors are now open (don't worry, they don't shut, but it's a membership for you mama). Go to draliyoung.com/lounge to get more details.

This bite sized episode is all about how to integrate small elements of calm into your day. As I recovered from my burnout journey, one of the greatest learnings was that I didn't need hours of meditation, I just needed to get regular calm into my system. 

These are my hot tips, and also... I open the doors to Work.Mama.Life.Lounge today. You can go and check it out here

This bite-sized episode chats about listening to the season of life that you are in, not 'over-exercising' if you are in high stress or burnout, and making sure that you do exercise that supports your system.

Tomorrow I open the doors to the Work.Mama.Life. Lounge - an online community full of amazing working mum's. You can get a sneak peek here www.draliyoung.com/lounge

Welcome to the week of 5 Pillars. This week I will be dropping a short and sharp episode each day for all of those new listeners that are here from my book, Work.Mama.Life.

Today I am having a brief chat all about Nourish. The first pillar focuses on wholefoods, real food, and finding some balance. It's not about taking all the small things away, but is about having the balance and awareness that supports your sense of eating well.

This weeks episode is a beaut. I first met this vivacious human 12 months ago, and my life is better for it. Victoria is all about supporting families to be their best, and it really shows. This episode we laugh, we chat and we have a hoot. 

The last ten years of Victoria’s life have been spent doing what she loves – working in early childhood education. She has worked across multiple disciplines in before and after school care, long day care, and finally settling into family day care which led her to the path of starting Rainbow Bridge Family Day Care Service in 2013.

Working with her educators, she was faced with their everyday challenges. From this point, her passion grew to help educators release their frustrations around programming and assist them to get the many thoughts out of their heads and onto paper – that’s why she created the Big Hearted Education Planner! Finally, a book that has everything educators need to help them to be completely prepared and express their flair and creativity. We’ve also created a range of courses to support educators in their journey to empower them in being the best educator they can be.

When she is not focused on serving her community of educators, you can find her singing and spending time with her hubby and children.
