Transitions don’t just happen at big milestones.
They happen quietly, subtly, and often more often than we expect.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on transitions — in motherhood, in business, and in life — and why even positive or expected changes can feel destabilising.

Yes, this conversation is timed around the return to school, but the heart of this episode is much bigger than that. It’s about what happens any time life shifts, routines change, or the season you were in no longer fits the one you’re stepping into.

In this episode, I explore:


Why transitions — even welcome ones — can feel emotionally and energetically unsettling


How changes in routine affect our focus, capacity, and sense of rhythm as mums in business


The pressure to “move on quickly” or be productive as soon as a transition happens


Why finding your rhythm again isn’t instant — and isn’t meant to be


How to gently reorient your business and workdays after any season of change

This episode is for you if you’re navigating a shift, whether that’s back to school, a new business phase, changing family needs, or simply realising that the way you were working before no longer feels right.

It’s a reminder that transitions deserve space. That rhythm returns through awareness, not force. And that you’re allowed to meet each new season with intention, not urgency.
