Bold Moves with Jools Raye

Stuck in Your Career? Stop Asking “What Should I Do Next?”
If you know you don’t want to do this for another 10 years, but you’ve got no clue what you want instead, this episode is for you.
I gave myself three years to work out what I wanted to do next in my career.
Six months later, I was made redundant.
Not quite the plan.
In this episode, I’m taking you back to the moment I realised I’d been building my career on borrowed ground and what happened when the decision I thought I had three years to make was suddenly made for me.
We’re talking about that restless space in between: when you know you’ve outgrown where you are, but you can’t quite see what comes next.
And I’m sharing the question I wish I’d asked myself much sooner:
What skills does my future need?
Because you don’t need to have your whole career change figured out before you start moving. You can start career crafting now.
You’ll hear:
Why being good at your job doesn’t necessarily mean it still fits you

How redundancy changed the way I think about career security

How career crafting and portfolio careers can open up possibilities you might not have considered

Why I started developing the skills my future needed, rather than only the ones my employer wanted

The question to ask yourself when you’re stuck thinking, “What the fuck do I do next?”

Why do so many women suddenly feel desperate for more space?
I'm not talking just bigger homes but Mental, Emotional spac and Breathing room.
In this episode, Jools sits down with interior designer and founder of Home Shape Style, Bex, to explore the surprising psychology behind the spaces we live in and why our homes affect our nervous systems more than we realise.
This conversation goes far beyond cushions and paint colours.
Together, they explore:
🦩why women often start changing their homes when they’re changing internally🦩the emotional impact of clutter, overstimulation and “not fitting” your environment anymore
🦩how motherhood changes the way we experience safety and belonging
🦩why your home is never really “finished”
🦩the hidden connection between identity, nervous system regulation and the spaces we live in
🦩how to create more calm, comfort and autonomy in your home without a full renovation
If your life looks fine on paper but something still feels “off,” this episode will hit deeper than you expect because sometimes the craving for more space… isn’t about the house at all.

This is one my most listened to episodes because finding your path once you have kiddies is a wild ride!
And then returning to work after having children is one of the biggest transitions many women experience, yet it’s rarely talked about honestly.
In this episode of Mama’s Flight Path, Jools Raye sits down with Jessica Chivers, founder of The Talent Keeper Specialists, to unpack why the workplace still struggles to support parents and what needs to change.
They explore the reality many working mothers face when returning to their careers after maternity leave, from identity shifts and guilt to navigating expectations from employers and colleagues.
Jessica shares practical insights on flexible work, compressed hours and how organisations can create environments where parents can thrive instead of burn out.
If you are navigating motherhood and career, or wondering how to redesign your working life after children, this conversation will resonate deeply.
