Why I Walked Away from the 9–5 to Build a Legacy Through Motherhood and Business

Legacy Building Mamas

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Is this really it?”
That was me—ticking all the boxes, climbing the corporate ladder—while quietly breaking inside.

In this episode, I take you deep into my story. The moment I knew the system wasn’t built for us. The day I promised my late mum I’d build a different life—for myself and for my girls.

If you’re a high-achieving woman trying to balance motherhood, business, and self-worth… this one’s for you.

🎙️ What you’ll learn:

• Why success doesn’t have to mean burnout
• The emotional cost of chasing someone else’s version of “having it all”
• What redefining success can look like—on your terms
• Why presence matters more than perfection in parenting and business
