#EP101 - Three Things I'd Tell Myself Before Starting My Business As A Mum Entrepreneur

What would you tell the version of yourself who was too scared to begin? If I could go back to the woman who was dreaming of starting a podcast, building a business, and creating a life on her own terms, I'd tell her so much more than "keep going." After 100 episodes, I've realised the biggest lessons weren't about podcasting at all. They were about courage, resilience, and learning to trust myself before anyone else did. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: ✨ Why you need to push the door instead of waiting for permission. ✨ Why showing up consistently is what creates momentum, even when progress feels slow. ✨ Why trusting yourself is the most important investment you'll ever make. Whether you're just starting your business as a mother in business or mum entrepreneur or you're feeling stuck along the way, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to feel ready to build something extraordinary. Sometimes, all it takes is one more step forward. 🤍 + SIGN UP TO THE BUSINESS MUM COMPASS Newsletter : https://mailchi.mp/11e3ae1e8bfb/lucky-last-sign-up [https://mailchi.mp/11e3ae1e8bfb/lucky-last-sign-up] + FOLLOW THE PODCAST on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/luckylast_podcast/profilecard/?igsh=c2t0cHVyeTdmNnQ1] + This podcast is for mum entrepreneurs, mum in business and women in business who start their business and want to build confidence, overcome limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome and fear of being seen so they can confidently sell their knowledge online with purpose.

It's an honest conversation about what it really looks like to build something from nothing—and the reminders I needed to hear just as much as I hope you do.

#EP99 - Why Mum Entrepreneurs Can’t Stop Comparing Themselves (Nervous System Explained)

This is a quick voice note from Marie on The Business Mum Compass Podcast, sharing a simple but powerful reframe for mum entrepreneurs who find themselves stuck in comparison, self-doubt, or overthinking while building their business.

In this voice note, you’ll learn: * Why comparison is often a nervous system response, not a confidence problem * How it can quietly affect your consistency, motivation, and clarity * A simple reframe to help you come back to your own lane and stay grounded If you’ve been feeling behind or constantly comparing yourself while building your business, this short episode will help you reset and refocus.

#EP98 - Why Mum Entrepreneurs Struggle With Comparison (It’s Actually a Nervous System Response)

What if your comparison problem isn’t about confidence but your nervous system trying to keep you safe? In this episode, Marie explores why comparison is one of the most common struggles for mum entrepreneurs and why it often has nothing to do with mindset or confidence. Instead, comparison is often a nervous system response. When you see others ahead of you, your brain can interpret it as threat rather than inspiration, leading to shutdown, overthinking, procrastination, or emotional overwhelm. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why comparison is often a nervous system response, not a mindset flaw * How social media can trigger shutdown and self-doubt without you realising it * What to do to regulate, refocus, and stay in your own lane as a mum entrepreneur Marie also shares a powerful reminder that your journey cannot be compared to someone else’s timeline, you’re building your own path, at your own pace. If comparison has been affecting your confidence, consistency, or clarity in business, this episode will help you reframe it and move forward with more calm and focus.

#EP97 - Why Mum Entrepreneurs Struggle With Consistency (It’s Actually Decision Fatigue)

What if your consistency problem isn’t about discipline but about decision fatigue? This is a quick voice note from Marie on The Business Mum Compass Podcast, sharing a powerful reframe for mum entrepreneurs who feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or like they “can’t stay on track” in their business. In this short episode, Marie explains how constant daily micro-decisions—around family, life admin, and emotional load—can drain your mental capacity before you even start your work. What looks like procrastination or lack of discipline is often actually cognitive overload. In this voice note, you’ll learn: * Why inconsistency is often linked to decision fatigue, not lack of discipline as a mum entrepreneur * How mental overload shows up as procrastination, scrolling, and avoidance * How to start designing your business around energy and simplicity instead of willpower as a mum entrepreneur If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or frustrated with yourself, this episode will help you see things differently—and with more self-compassion.
