6 Podcasts for Working Mums: Career, Motherhood and Everything in Between
Picture this: you finally get a second to listen to a new podcast.
Maybe you’re going for a walk. Driving somewhere. Folding laundry. Or perhaps you’ve somehow managed to claim ten uninterrupted minutes to yourself.
And then you realise you don’t actually know what to listen to.
You start searching.
There are so many options.
You remember someone recommending something interesting a few weeks ago, but of course, you didn’t save it anywhere.
And before you know it, you’ve spent your precious listening time searching for a podcast rather than actually listening to one.
It happens to me far too often. 😂
So, I’ve put together a list to save for later.
These six podcasts explore motherhood, careers, ambition, career goals, identity, parenting and some of the bigger questions that can emerge as our lives grow fuller.
Some will make you think.
Some might make you laugh.
Some may introduce you to a perspective you hadn’t considered before.
Here are six podcasts worth having on your radar:
1. The Mambition Podcast
The Mambition Podcast is about motherhood for women who love deeply and dare greatly.
It explores the idea that ambition and raising a family can coexist, including all the complexity, tension and possibility that can come with trying to hold both.
Hosted by Tiffany Scott and Alex Morgan.
2. Women’s Business
Women’s Business explores women’s relationships with work and the career paths that shape us.
From early memories of work and first jobs to career advice, or the lack of it, the conversations follow women’s professional journeys through to where they are today.
Hosted by Nicky Denson-Elliott.
3. No Parental Guidance
No Parental Guidance brings unfiltered, laugh-out-loud conversations about parenting.
My go-to antidote to the impossibly polished world of Instagram parenting, this podcast makes space for the messier, funnier and more honest side of raising children.
Hosted by Louise Boyce and Hannah East.
4. Unlearning with Laura
Unlearning with Laura features heartfelt conversations about letting go of what no longer serves us.
The podcast explores how we can live with more purpose, freedom and clarity while raising the next generation of emotionally intelligent and conscious humans. Something that will resonate with the millennial mums out there!
Hosted by Laura Styles.
5. House of Voltage
House of Voltage is where quiet rebels reclaim their lives. Perhaps you did everything you thought you were supposed to do: built the career, ticked the boxes, showed up and worked hard. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering: Is this really it? This podcast explores what happens next.
Hosted by Zoe Greenhalf.
6. The Belonging Project Podcast
The Belonging Project Podcast is for working parents navigating their careers and finding their voice as leaders alongside parenthood. The conversations explore career growth, leadership, identity, belonging and the many shifts that can happen when we become parents.
Because parenthood doesn’t mean our professional growth stops. But it can change how we think about ambition, success, capacity and the kind of life and work we want to build.
Hosted by me, Fiorenza Rossini.
Save this list for later!
The next time you find yourself with a little listening time and absolutely no idea what to put on, I hope this list gives you somewhere to start.
And if you have a podcast recommendation that belongs on this list, I’d love to hear about it.
I’m always looking for the next one to add to my own saved list. 🎧
