    Creating Calm: Organising Your Home, Reducing the Mental Load & Making Family Life Easier with Nada Daher

    07/07/2026 | 47 mins.
    Today's guest is someone whose work I think every parent will relate to. I'm joined by Nada, founder of The Home Order, a professional home organisation company helping families create homes that feel calmer, function better and work with family life, rather than against it.
    Because let's be honest, most of us aren't striving for Pinterest-perfect pantries. We're simply trying to keep on top of the endless piles of laundry, find the PE kit on a Monday morning, stop buying things we already own and feel like our homes are making life easier instead of adding to the overwhelm.
    In this episode, we're talking about far more than organising cupboards. We're exploring how our homes impact our mental wellbeing, why organisation is really about reducing the mental load, and the practical systems every family can put in place to make everyday life run more smoothly.
    Whether you're in the middle of summer decluttering, preparing for back to school or simply craving a reset, this episode is packed with practical advice you'll actually want to put into practice.

    Love, Money & Starting Again: The Truth About Divorce and Financial Independence with Natasha Mahtani

    30/06/2026 | 50 mins.
    Today I'm joined by Natasha Mahtani, a Relationship Strategist and Financial Wellbeing Mentor, and this is one of those conversations that I think every woman should listen to.
    We talk about modern relationships, the realities of marriage and divorce, and why financial wellbeing is something we all need to be paying more attention to — regardless of our relationship status. Because whilst we spend so much time talking about emotional wellbeing, we often don't talk enough about money, financial confidence and the role it plays in our independence, security and future choices.
    Natasha shares her insights on navigating relationship challenges, rebuilding after separation, and why understanding your finances isn't just about numbers in a bank account — it's about empowerment, confidence and creating a life that feels secure and aligned with what you want.
    This is an honest, insightful and incredibly practical conversation that covers everything from relationships and self-worth to financial literacy and starting again after a major life change. Whether you're happily married, navigating a difficult chapter, divorced, single, or simply wanting to feel more confident about your financial future, there's something in this episode for you.
    I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you're going to take so much away from it.

    Whether it's social media, wellness clinics, biohacking podcasts or conversations between friends, it feels like everyone is talking about peptides for everything from better sleep and energy to fat loss, muscle building and ageing well.

    The Truth About Healthy Hair: Colour, Extensions & Living in Dubai with Louise Bailey

    09/06/2026 | 55 mins.
    Hair is one of those topics that seems to come up in every conversation. Whether it's finding a colour that actually suits you, covering greys, deciding whether extensions are worth it, or simply trying to make your hair look a little fuller and healthier, there is so much advice out there that it can be difficult to know what is actually right for you.
    And I think so many women are looking for that balance. We want beautiful hair, but we also want healthy hair. We want colour that looks natural, extensions that nobody can spot, and routines that fit into real life rather than taking hours every week. So today, I wanted to have an honest conversation about all of it — from the biggest mistakes people make with colour and extensions, to how to choose the right shade, maintain healthy hair, and achieve that effortless look that so many of us are chasing.
    Joining me is Louise Bailey, founder of Beauty Club London, who has built a hugely loyal following thanks to her expertise in colour, extensions and hair health. Louise is known for creating beautiful, natural-looking results and helping women feel like the best version of themselves, without the trends or the fuss.

    Why “Having It All” Still Isn’t Working for Women with Stefanie O’Connell

    19/05/2026 | 50 mins.
    Today I’m joined by Stefanie O’Connell - an award-winning journalist who writes about money, power and ambition, and the author of The Ambition Penalty.
    Her work challenges a lot of what we’ve been told as women - that if we just work hard enough, lean in, and push through the imposter syndrome, we’ll get there.
    But the data tells a very different story.
    Stefanie looks at the real cost of ambition for women - financially, professionally and personally  and why so many women are feeling burnt out, disillusioned, and stuck… despite doing everything “right”.
    And as a mum herself, she brings such an important lens to what this actually looks like in real life.

About Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes.I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it.Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything.Mother Tongue isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect. It’s about feeling less alone, better informed, and more grounded in the choices you’re making - whether you’re building a business, raising children, starting again, or simply trying to make sense of the season you’re in.New episodes weekly.Listen in, wherever you are.To get in touch or to find out more about the podcast, please email info@wearemothertongue.com / Instagram @wearemothertongue.Or visit our website: www.wearemothertongue.com
