  • Why letting go of perfection is the greatest gift for your kids #RediscoverYourself

    Why letting go of perfection is the greatest gift for your kids #RediscoverYourself

    · Mama, what's next?

    -Solo episode-


    Welcome back to Mama, What’s Next? Today, we’re talking about something quite powerful and transformative: vulnerability. It's a great topic particularly so many of us wear masks all the time. We learnt to do that quite early on in our lives, some more, some less. Now, today let's talk about being real.

    Vulnerability is the bridge that connects us to our children, our loved ones, and, most importantly, ourselves.

    Let's explore -

    Why embracing imperfection is key to thriving: Let’s talk about how vulnerability isn’t weakness but a bridge to deeper relationships and a stronger sense of self.Raising resilient children: Teaching kids that it’s okay to be imperfect starts with showing them our own humanity—our fears, mistakes, and doubts.Finding purpose in progress: The story of a mom who reclaimed her passions and found joy again after losing herself in motherhood.The self-care myth: Why focusing on your own growth isn’t selfish but essential. A fulfilled mama is the foundation for a happy, thriving family.Leading by example: Your kids are watching you. When you embrace your true self, they learn to embrace theirs, too.

    I also open up about my own journey of personal growth—reconnecting with who I am and letting go of the idea that I have to do it all perfectly. Vulnerability has been my superpower, helping me rediscover my passions and show my child what it means to be real.

    This episode is your reminder that it’s okay to focus on YOU.

    Tune in and take the next step toward rediscovering yourself, Mama. 

     

    Love, Melie.

    How to attract clients organically and balance motherhood & entrepreneurship as a mom of 4 with Nikki Milne

    · Mama, what's next?

    In this episode I loved learning from Nikki's inspiring journey that took her from a hairdresser to a successful entrepreneur and PR expert in Australia.


    Nikki talks about the challenges she faced while building her business, the importance of resilience, and the mindset required for success.

    She shares her learnings on balancing motherhood with her career and growing a demanding agency and mentoring business, the significance of saying yes to opportunities, and the value of maintaining a clear boundary between personal and professional life.


    As an expert on growing your business via social media she shares her learnings and tips on how to attract clients organically. We also talk about an important business channel we should not ignore - and it's not digital.


    We also talk about the risks associated with sharing children on social media, her flexible her personal approach to work-life balance as a mom of 4, and the importance of scaling a business according to personal needs.

    Nikki teaches women how to see their worth and the significance of understanding one's value in business.

    #MomCareerChange: Von Corporate zur Selbstständigkeit: Wie Margit innere Stärke & berufliche Freiheit nach 50 fand

    · Mama, what's next?

    Ein wundervoll ehrliches GesprĂ€ch fĂŒr alle MĂŒtter, die sich neu entdecken, neu definieren und sich fĂŒr ihre Karriere und Arbeit mehr Sinn, Purpose und Leidenschaft wĂŒnschen. Wir sprechen auch ĂŒber den unglaublich wichtigen Weg dazu sich ehrlich und mutig selbst anzunehmen, mit all seinen Facetten und authenthisch und ehrlich unseren eigenen Weg zu gehen - denn das ist fĂŒr viele von uns nicht einfach.

    In dieser inspirierenden Folge spreche ich mit Margit Weinert, die nach einer interessanten Corporate Karriere nach 30 Jahren den mutigen Schritt in die SelbststĂ€ndigkeit wagte. Bei der Lufthansa vom Check-in zur FĂŒhrungskraft - eine beeindruckende Karriere. Wir reflektieren ĂŒber die Herausforderungen, die das Muttersein mit einer Karriere auf Top-Level bei einem Unternehmen wie Lufthansa verbindet, und wie sie es geschafft hat, innere Sicherheit zu finden und sich beruflich neu zu erfinden.

    Margit teilt ihre Einsichten als Coach und Mutter mit mir:

    Vereinbarkeit: Wie sie gelernt hat, berufliche und familiĂ€re PrioritĂ€ten zu vereinbaren.Die Bedeutung von Selbstbewusstsein und IdentitĂ€t, insbesondere nach einer langen Karriere.Ihre Sicht auf Altersdiskriminierung und die Möglichkeiten eines Neuanfangs fĂŒr Frauen in der Arbeitswelt.

    Key takeaways

    Margit betont die Wichtigkeit der inneren Sicherheit.Die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf ist eine Herausforderung.Ein akademischer Abschluss kann TĂŒren öffnen.Frauen ĂŒber 50 haben es in der Karriere oft schwerer.Margit hat durch ihr Masterstudium viel gewonnen.Die richtige Zeit fĂŒr VerĂ€nderungen ist entscheidend. Altersdiskriminierung ist ein reales Problem in der Karriere.Frauen können auch nach 50 Jahren neue Wege gehen.Ein starkes Netzwerk ist entscheidend fĂŒr den beruflichen Erfolg.Der Abschied von einer langen Karriere kann emotional herausfordernd sein.Coaching kann Frauen helfen, ihre IdentitĂ€t zu finden.Frauen neigen dazu, ihre eigenen BedĂŒrfnisse zurĂŒckzustellen.Es ist wichtig, die eigene Sauerstoffmaske zuerst aufzusetzen.Empathie ist eine StĂ€rke, die Frauen in der Karriere nutzen können.

    Wir sprechen ĂŒber ihre bewusste Entscheidung, ihre beruflichen Werte neu zu definieren, und wie sie ihre Kinder zu selbstbewussten Individuen erzogen hat. Ein wundervoll ehrliches GesprĂ€ch fĂŒr alle MĂŒtter, die sich neu entdecken, neu definieren und sich fĂŒr ihre Karriere und Arbeit mehr Sinn, Purpose und Leidenschaft wĂŒnschen.

  • Ich bin arbeitslos

    Ich bin arbeitslos

    · Mama, what's next?

    Ehrlichkeit und AuthentizitÀt zahlen sich aus.

    In dieser Episode erkunde ich mit Recruiterin Sarah Ann Johnson die kraftvolle Rolle von AuthentizitĂ€t und Offenheit auf dem beruflichen Weg. Sarah teilt, wie ein ehrlicher LinkedIn-Post, in dem sie ĂŒber Fehlentscheidungen und ihre eigene Arbeitslosigkeit sprach, eine ĂŒberraschende Welle an UnterstĂŒtzung und Jobmöglichkeiten auslöste. Wir sprechen ĂŒber die Angst, als gescheitert wahrgenommen zu werden, und warum gerade die Verletzlichkeit uns stĂ€rken kann. Sie erzĂ€hlt, wie sie ihren Weg zu einem erfĂŒllenderen Job gefunden hat und was wir alle daraus lernen können, wenn wir uns authentisch und ungeschönt zeigen.

    Auch wenn der Sound ab und zu etwas holprig ist – die Technik wollte diesmal nicht so richtig mitspielen - hoffe ich dennoch, dass ihr euch ein paar hilfreiche Anregungen mitnehmen könnt, sei es fĂŒr eigene Erfolge, Misserfolge oder die nĂ€chste Entscheidung auf eurem beruflichen Weg.

    Enjoy & Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

    deine Melie.

    Autonomie, gesunde Aggressionen bei Kindern als Schlüssel zu deiner inneren Freiheit - mit Psychotherapeutin Jana Kuderna

    · Mama, what's next?

    Dein Kind fordert immer mehr EigenstĂ€ndigkeit, und du fĂŒhlst dich manchmal an deine Grenzen gebracht? Heute sprechen wir darĂŒber, warum diese Phase nicht nur fĂŒr dein Kind entscheidend ist, sondern auch eine unglaubliche Chance fĂŒr dein eigenes Wachstum birgt.

    In dieser Folge von Mama, What’s Next? habe ich die großartige Jana Kuderna zu Gast, eine erfahrene Psychotherapeutin fĂŒr Kinder und Jugendliche. Gemeinsam tauchen wir in die herausfordernde Phase der kindlichen Autonomieentwicklung ein – eine Zeit, die sowohl fĂŒr MĂŒtter als auch fĂŒr Kinder spannend und intensiv ist. Jana erklĂ€rt, wie die kindliche Seele unermĂŒdlich nach EigenstĂ€ndigkeit strebt und warum es fĂŒr MĂŒtter so wichtig ist, in dieser Phase ihre eigenen ungelösten Themen zu erkennen.

    Wir sprechen darĂŒber, wie gesunde Aggressionen bei Kindern ein Zeichen von psychischer Entwicklung sind und wie MĂŒtter, die sich getriggert fĂŒhlen, dies als Chance zur eigenen inneren Befreiung nutzen können. Jana zeigt auf, dass der Weg zur Selbstbestimmung der Mutter der SchlĂŒssel zu einer gesunden Mutter-Kind-Beziehung und zur Förderung der kindlichen EigenstĂ€ndigkeit ist.

    In diesem inspirierenden GesprĂ€ch erfĂ€hrst du, wie du als Mama den Abnabelungsprozess deines Kindes als Möglichkeit fĂŒr dein persönliches Wachstum nutzen kannst – und wie dies die Basis fĂŒr eine stĂ€rkere und klarere Bindung schafft.

    Freu dich auf ein tiefgehendes GesprÀch voller wertvoller Einsichten und praktischer Tipps!

    Themen:

    Autonomiephase: Was passiert mit unseren Kindern und wie gehen wir als Mamas damit um?Gesunde Aggressionen: Warum sie wichtig sind und wie sie unsere Kinder in die EigenstĂ€ndigkeit fĂŒhren.Triggerpunkte bei MĂŒttern: Wie ungelöste Themen aus der eigenen Kindheit uns beeinflussen.Wie wir als MĂŒtter durch die Erziehung unserer Kinder innerlich wachsen können.Enjoy & viel Spaß beim Zuhören! deine Melie.

    If you don't advocate for yourself, nobody else will | Personal Branding with Daniela Sarmiento Part 1

    · Mama, what's next?

    In todays episode I speak with Executive Career Coach and Personal Branding Expert Daniela Sarmiento from Barcelona who shares with me why personal branding becomes increasingly important in todays world.

    Daniela shares her experience in transitioning from working as a recruiter and headhunter to starting her own personal branding and image consulting business. She speaks about helping professionals, particularly those in leadership roles, stand out by improving how they communicate, not just in their CVs but also in person. It's about making sure their personality, leadership, and values shine through in interviews and conversations.

    We explore the challenges women face in the workplace, including self-doubt and the need for mentorship. The discussion highlights the necessity of authenticity, negotiation skills, and the impact of executive presence.

    We also discuss the importance of building a personal brand, especially for introverts who might find it challenging to stand out. She offers guidance on how women can craft a strong personal image that reflects not only skills but also presence and personality. We touch on networking, self-presentation, and the ongoing process of personal transformation, encouraging people to take control of their professional narrative. Often, people are so used to their roles that they forget to showcase their unique strengths, which is crucial for career growth.

    dear mama, it's okay to change your mind. founders f*ckups

    · Mama, what's next?

    Your decisions are only as good as the information you have. As your information changes, so should your decisions.

    New data = new decisions.

    At one point in my career I approached an Australian beauty media company to create a joint venture and launch their business in Europe. I partnered with a very close friend. Which made matters even worse when I started to realize that this is not the right path for me. It became my biggest founders f*kk up. Lots of money down the drain and a very close friendship ruined.

    So why did I no longer want to do it?

    I realized the legal setup was increasingly unideal for me.

    I learnt that my friend and I were not suited for the roles we were meant to take on.

    I learnt that what I was meant to do going forward in the business did not bring me joy.

    So in essence - I learnt A LOT.

    About myself.

    About friendships and work partnerships.

    About strengths in work and business.

    About fluffy ideas and the reality of founding a company.

    I hope you enjoy the conversation.. with myself.

  • How Lia de Feo turned her emotional journey of IVF, surrogacy, and loss into her purpose

    How Lia de Feo turned her emotional journey of IVF, surrogacy, and loss into her purpose

    · Mama, what's next?

    A journey of pain to purpose

    Imagine battling the heartache of infertility, navigating the complexities of IVF treatments, and lastly trusting someone else to carry your hopes for a family.

    Now imagine losing it all. Twice.

    This episode takes you deep into the raw, emotional journey of IVF, surrogacy, loss and grief.

    Hear how Lia struggled to balance her high-pressure career as an executive with fertility treatments and how she moved through unimaginable heartbreak into hope—and why the conversation around workplace support, surrogacy, and IVF is more urgent than ever.

    In todays episode of Mama, what's next? Lia de Feo shares her deeply personal journey through motherhood, fertility challenges, and the heartbreaking loss of her two children. She discusses the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, and the importance of intuition when it comes to our own bodies. We talk about the complexities of surrogacy, and the emotional rollercoaster of IVF that many women have to go through. Lia talks about the need for support and understanding for those navigating similar paths and shares her mission to help others through their struggles.

    Ultimately, she reflects on how her own grief and heartbreaking experiences have moved her to connect even deeper with spirituality and explore what deeper meaning her journey could have. Ultimately asking herself the question: can I make something positive, out of my pain? This then led her to advocate for womens reproductive rights in New York and now she work on a book about her own journey and the history of reproductive rights.

    From People Pleasing to Powerful Presence: Comedy as a Journey of Self-Acceptance with Fady Kassab, Part 2

    · Mama, what's next?

    In the 2nd part of our interview, I chat with Fady Kassab, a Sydney-based comedian and creative director with roots in Lebanon. Fady was winner of Australia's RAW Comedy in 2019, shares his journey from the creative industry to the comedy scene, offering a unique perspective on life, identity, and personal growth. Fady also has two kids who lived with him full-time until recently, making him a great example of diving into his true self and exploring his unique true career path while raising kids.

    In this episode, we dive into the intersection of comedy and people-pleasing, exploring what it truly takes to get on stage and make people laugh — and not everyone will laugh. Fady shares his experience with overcoming the urge to please everyone, the pressure of audience reactions, and how comedy can both terrify and heal. He discusses how stand-up comedy seems like the worst place for someone who seeks constant approval, yet becomes a space for ultimate freedom from people-pleasing tendencies. We touch on the challenges of entering comedy later in life, the importance of authenticity, and the unexpected lessons learned from failure, family, and sobriety. Join us as we unpack how comedy can be both an art of connection and a path of self-discovery. Whether you're a performer or just navigating life's stages, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and embrace your own journey.

    Talking Points:

    Comedy and People-Pleasing: How stepping on stage confronts the need for approval.The Double-Edged Sword of Audience Reactions: Balancing the desire for laughter with the reality of divided responses.Authenticity in Performance: Why sharing what’s meaningful creates a unique voice no one can imitate.Life Stories and Laughter: How lived experiences, like family and world events, shape personal and relatable comedy.The Ego and Success: Is there ever an endpoint, or is success just a feeling? Exploring career milestones and self-worth.The Power of Energy on Stage: How presence and mood can transform an audience.Sobriety and the Creative Journey: The role of alcohol in the comedy world and the surprising benefits of stepping away.Professionalism in Comedy: Why reliability and being easy to work with often outweigh sheer talent.Parenting and Emotional Responsibility: The impact of kids' awareness of our emotions and their role in our healing.Comedy as Healing: The unexpected ripple effect of jokes and stories in people's lives.

    This episode offers a thoughtful look at the courage it takes to be vulnerable, not just as a comedian, but as a person.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, spirituality, and the journey of embracing one's true self. Fady’s wisdom, humor, and authenticity shine through as he shares lessons from his life, making this conversation both inspiring and deeply relatable.

    Finding Your Authentic Voice: From Creative Director to Stand-up Comedian - Fady Kassab, Part 1

    · Mama, what's next?

    In this awesome episode, I chat with Fady Kassab, a Sydney-based comedian and creative director with roots in Lebanon. Fady was winner of Australia's RAW Comedy in 2019, shares his journey from the creative industry to the comedy scene, offering a unique perspective on life, identity, and personal growth. Fady also has two kids who lived with him full-time until recently, making him a great example of diving into his true self and exploring his unique true career path while raising kids.

    Career Change From Creative Director to Comedian: Fady’s transition from a successful career in creative direction to pursuing comedy full-time, exploring how his experiences shaped his comedic style and outlook on life.

    Navigating Personal Identity: A section on how life events like the loss of a parent and a divorce led Fady to reevaluate his identity, moving beyond the labels society places on us and embracing the present moment.

    Ego vs. Intuition: Fady discusses the battle between ego and intuition, emphasizing the importance of quieting the mind to listen to one's inner voice. He highlights how intuition is often drowned out by the noisy voice of the ego, which is rooted in past achievements or future anxieties.

    The Power of Now: Drawing inspiration from spiritual teachings, particularly Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now," Fady talks about the importance of living in the present moment and how it can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

    Letting Go of the Ego: Insights into how detaching from the ego’s need for validation through success or material achievements can lead to true inner peace. Fady shares personal anecdotes and advice on how to practice this detachment.

    Health and Well-being: A discussion on the importance of treating the body with love, rather than through a lens of societal expectations or self-criticism. Fady touches on how his approach to food, exercise, and mental health has evolved over the years.

    Spiritual Growth and Mindfulness: Fady introduces listeners to spiritual teacher Muji and the concept of living without being trapped by thoughts or emotions. He explains how mindfulness and meditation have played a crucial role in his personal development.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, spirituality, and the journey of embracing one's true self. Fady’s wisdom, humor, and authenticity shine through as he shares lessons from his life, making this conversation both inspiring and deeply relatable.

  • Get Unstuck and Thrive: How to Reclaim Your Power and Embrace Change

    Get Unstuck and Thrive: How to Reclaim Your Power and Embrace Change

    · Mama, what's next?

    In todays episode, I share my personal journey through a challenging week. I've come to realize that despite the difficulties and the feeling of being stuck or obligated to live for others, we actually have the power to choose our own paths and make changes in our lives.

    Even when it feels like we have no options, we always have some form of choice. Our bodies often push us to listen when we ignore our inner voice, manifesting through pain or discomfort. I emphasize the importance of connecting with our true selves, embracing our authentic journey, and allowing ourselves to evolve.

    Life is hard, and it's easy to get caught up in roles and personas that no longer serve us. But it's never too late to rediscover what makes us feel alive and to step into our true selves. I encourage you to take this moment to embrace who you are becoming, and to give yourself grace and compassion. Remember, tomorrow is a new day with the potential for change.

  • Ideale Business Positionierung fĂŒr Scanner & Multi-Passionierte: Die Kunst der Vielseitigkeit

    Ideale Business Positionierung für Scanner & Multi-Passionierte: Die Kunst der Vielseitigkeit

    · Mama, what's next?

    In dieser Episode tauchen wir in die faszinierende Welt der Scanner und multi-passionierten Unternehmerinnen ein. Wie positionierst du dich, wenn du nicht nur eine, sondern viele Leidenschaften hast? Ich spreche mit Sandra Reekers, Trainerin und Coach fĂŒr Scanner Persönlichkeiten im Businessbereich.

    Ist es wirklich notwendig, eine Nische zu finden, oder gibt es auch andere Wege zum Erfolg?

    Wir sprechen darĂŒber, wie du deine Vielseitigkeit in eine kraftvolle GeschĂ€ftsstrategie verwandelst, die nicht nur funktioniert, sondern dich auch wirklich erfĂŒllt.

    Entdecke, wie du genau ein Business aufbaust, das all deine Interessen vereint und trotzdem Klarheit und Fokus hat. Schalte ein und finde heraus, wie du als Scanner Unternehmerin erfolgreich sein kannst, ohne dich einzuschrÀnken!

    Sandra erzĂ€hlt von ihrer eigenen beruflichen Reise und wie sie verschiedene Interessen und Talente in ihr Business integriert hat. Sie betont die Bedeutung von Spaß und Freude bei der Arbeit und ermutigt dazu, den eigenen Interessen zu folgen. Sandra erklĂ€rt verschiedene Positionierungsmodelle fĂŒr Scanner-Persönlichkeiten, um ihre Vielseitigkeit zu nutzen und dennoch eine klare Ausrichtung zu haben. Sie ermutigt dazu, sich nicht in der Paralysierung der Vielfalt zu verlieren, sondern aktiv nach Lösungen zu suchen. Sie betont, dass man sich nicht auf eine Sache festlegen muss, sondern verschiedene Bausteine in sein Business einbringen kann.

    Sie empfiehlt die Verwendung eines Projektkompasses, um den Fokus zu behalten und gleichzeitig FlexibilitĂ€t zu ermöglichen. Sie weist darauf hin, dass es wichtig ist, auf die eigene innere Stimme zu hören und sich nicht fĂŒr andere zu verbiegen. Wenn man seine Interessen nicht auslebt, kann dies zu Unzufriedenheit, Erschöpfung und sogar körperlichen Symptomen fĂŒhren. Umso wichtiger ist es sich UnterstĂŒtzung und Inspiration zu suchen, um den nĂ€chsten Schritt zu gehen und ein erfĂŒlltes Leben zu fĂŒhren.
