How do I know if I'm ready to return to work after maternity leave? Can I *really* make all the pick-ups, drop-offs AND get to work on time? Am I ready for that promotion? How do I balance managing a large team and demanding kids? Is now the right time to start my own business? Can I flourish in a part-time job?

  • Love these podcast!

    I have just listened to my first of your podcast - an interview with Amanda Henderson ‘Thread HR’. Such an authentic discussion, with a generosity of sharing an honest story.

  • Fantastic first episode

    After following Elizabeth on LinkedIn for a while, I saw her post about her podcast, super excited to listen. Little did I realise just how much Lianne’s story resonated with me. It made me feel so much less alone. Fantastic advise from both of them during the podcast too. Looking forward to hearing more episodes!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Divorce Costs More Than You Think (Unless You Do This…)
Q: What is the core problem your platform is solving in divorce proceedings?
It's about making the financial side clearer, faster, and more affordable by giving clients a judge's opinion early in the process and helping them agree on finances before the dispute escalates to full litigation.
BONUS EPISODE: LinkedIn & Offline Networking: Unlock Hidden Opportunities
Q: Can the headline be types of roles versus actual current job title, especially where your job title might be a bit more specific to your employer's need?
It's best to use words that match what recruiters are searching for, focusing on target roles and searchable keywords rather than internal, obscure titles, so you appear in the right searches and attract the right opportunities.
The Bold Mission to Empower 100,000 Women by 2035
Q: How did Anaïs transition from corporate to coaching while sustaining her income?
She pursued coaching qualifications in parallel with her job, planned a gradual transition with a concrete timeline, and started freelancing to build client base while maintaining financial stability.
BONUS EPIOSDE: CVs & Interview Prep- Stand Out and Get Hired
Q: Would you add out of work roles? (e.g., governor roles) and where should they go on the CV?
If highly relevant to the role, include them near the top; if only partially relevant, place them under a broader 'other work experience' section or closer to education to avoid overshadowing core experience.
Show Up & Shine: How to Break Free from Self-Doubt
Q: What would you say to somebody listening who feels there is too much competition or that others are doing it better than them?
Reframe by viewing competition as evidence that success is possible, emphasize collaboration over competition, reach out to more advanced peers for learning, and lean into your own unique voice and path.
