2025 wasn’t just another year for mums in business.

It was a year of noticing.
Of questioning.
Of unlearning what no longer fit and slowly becoming something new.

In this final episode for 2025 I’m reflecting on what's being called the Great Awakening of 2025, a collective shift I’ve seen in myself, in the mums I work with, and across the wider business space.

This episode isn’t about predictions or trends. It’s about awareness.

I talk about:


Why so many mums in business felt restless, stretched, or quietly dissatisfied this year


The emotional and identity shifts that happen before outer change


Why clarity often comes after discomfort, not before


And how to approach 2026 with intention instead of pressure

If you’ve felt like something has been shifting beneath the surface this year — in your work, your values, or the way you want your business to support your life — this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and gently look ahead.

Not to rush.
Not to force a plan.
But to trust what’s already unfolding.

✨ What comes next in 2026 doesn’t require a full reinvention, it simply requires awareness, honesty, and permission to evolve.
