One of the most powerful things you can do as a leader and mother is build a team around you, because it really does take a village, both in work and in life.

In this episode, I’m joined by my village: the women behind the scenes of my business.

– Lauren (my Online Business Manager)
– Lauren “Lozza” (my Executive Assistant), and
– Laura (my Podcast Manager)

for an honest, practical conversation about how we work together as a high-performing remote team.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking…

“It would take longer to explain it than to just do it myself.”

“I can’t let anyone see the mess behind the scenes.”

“I need support… but I don’t even know where to start.”

“I’m the bottleneck, and I’m exhausted.”

…this episode is for you.

This isn’t a polished “perfect team” story. It’s a real behind-the-scenes look at how a remote team can run smoothly (without endless meetings or rigid bureaucracy) and with trust, humanity, and high standards.

You’ll come away with practical ideas you can apply immediately, whether you already have a team, you’re hiring your first support, or you’re simply craving a better way to work.

Press play and come away with…

– The 5 building blocks of a high-performing team – brought to life with real examples

– A simple blueprint for communication, processes, and shared ownership

– Insight into how to creata structure that feels freeing (not rigid)

– What to do when plans change, mistakes happen, or capacity disappears

– A reminder that support isn’t a weakness, it’s a success strategy

If you’ve been carrying too much on your own, this one is for you.

Listen now – and if it resonates, share it with a fellow working mum who needs to hear this today.
