Episode Motherhood, Miscarriage & the Myth of Balance: Running a Business While Raising a Family with Holly from Wonderlust Events Cover

Motherhood, Miscarriage & the Myth of Balance: Running a Business While Raising a Family with Holly from Wonderlust Events

TRIGGER WARNING: Miscarriage and pregnancy loss How do you run a business while navigating motherhood — especially when life doesn’t go to plan? In this deeply honest episode of In The Making, I sit down with Holly to talk about the reality of running a business while becoming a parent — and the emotional journey that comes with it. Together, we share the conversations that so many business owners have quietly behind closed doors — from pregnancy planning and miscarriage to maternity leave, returning to work, and navigating the constant juggle between career and family life. This episode includes a trigger warning for pregnancy loss, as Holly openly shares her experience of miscarriage and the emotional impact of navigating grief while continuing to run a business. It’s a conversation rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and the importance of speaking about topics that often feel difficult to say out loud. We also talk about the reality of parenting while running a business — the mental load, the guilt, the pressure to “balance it all,” and the truth that balance often feels impossible. At its heart, this episode is about reassurance — that you’re not alone, and that behind the scenes, many of us are navigating the same challenges.

Rewriting the Rules: Building a Category-Defining Bridesmaids Brand with Katie from Rewritten

What happens when you spot a gap in the market — and decide to build the thing that doesn’t exist? In this episode of In The Making, I’m joined by Katie, co-founder of Rewritten, the bridesmaids and occasionwear brand that helped redefine what modern bridal parties wear. Katie shares the story behind building a brand that challenged tradition — moving away from the outdated, one-style-fits-all bridesmaid dress and creating something more contemporary, wearable, and design-led. From sketching their first collection and launching with just a handful of styles, to navigating partnerships, scaling a product-based business, and expanding into international markets, this episode gives a real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow a fashion brand from idea to global recognition. We also talk honestly about the realities of running a business with a co-founder — navigating friendship, challenges, disagreements, and personal hardships while protecting the future of the brand.

Episode No Grit, No Pearl: Burnout, Business Collapse & Finding the Strength to Rise Again with Victoria Percival Cover

No Grit, No Pearl: Burnout, Business Collapse & Finding the Strength to Rise Again with Victoria Percival

What happens when everything you’ve built feels like it’s falling apart — and you’re not sure you have the strength to keep going? In this episode of In The Making, I sit down with jewellery designer and founder Victoria Percival for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast to date. Victoria shares the reality behind building a fast-growing brand — from early success to one of the most difficult periods of her career. After a major retail partnership unexpectedly collapsed, she was left facing overwhelming financial pressure, letting go of her team, and navigating the emotional toll of keeping a business alive when everything felt uncertain. What followed was burnout — the kind that leaves you exhausted, questioning everything, and wondering whether to walk away entirely. But this episode isn’t just about hardship. It’s about resilience, rebuilding confidence, and finding the strength to rise again — even when you feel completely depleted. Victoria shares the powerful moment that changed everything: a client stepping forward to invest in her business, giving her not just financial support, but the belief she needed to keep going. At the heart of this episode is her powerful philosophy: No Grit, No Pearl. A reminder that growth, success, and transformation are rarely easy — but the hardest seasons often shape who we become.

Hiring Your First Team Member — How to Know You're Ready

Hiring your first team member is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as a business owner — but how do you know when it's actually the right time? In this solo episode of In The Making, I’m sharing my honest experience of hiring inside my own business, including the signs that told me it was time to grow my team — and the mistakes I made along the way. We talk about the difference between feeling overwhelmed and being genuinely ready to hire, how to recognise when your business has reached capacity, and what to consider before bringing someone into your business. If you're a wedding professional, creative entrepreneur, or service-based business owner, this episode will help you understand when hiring makes sense — and how to approach it with confidence.
