In this season finale, we open up about what’s happening behind the scenes of Collectively in 2026.

Monica shares a major life event – the reason behind us ending this first season and pushing pause.

Marijke shares how she juggles running a business while raising a family, and the biggest lessons her kids took away from their recent trip to visit her charity in Cambodia.

This episode is all about how your business can ebb and flow through the seasons of your life. It’s a raw and refreshing discussion about the realities of parenthood and business ownership.

Inside we cover:

• Redefining the meaning of success - getting really granular about what that means for you, not just at each stage of your business but at each season of your life.
• How parenthood can make you a better business owner and a more empathetic marketer.
• How building and contributing to communities can help you manage your business and family commitments, while contributing to others.

This episode is released as part of a global Podcasthon - raising awareness of charities and causes worldwide. It is dedicated to Marijke’s charity, Dara Children’s Trust.
