In this special milestone episode Alex gets personal — about what it actually took to build Mambition, the partnership that made consistency possible and what this podcast has genuinely meant for her own life.

It started as a platform. It became something more.

A way back to herself after a career that knocked her sideways.

Two years in, here is what she knows:

→ Ambition isn't one size fits all→ The system is stacked against us — and knowing that changes everything→ Figuring out your own version of success and protecting it fiercely is the whole game

For anyone who has ever kept showing up — not because they had it all figured out, but because somewhere underneath the uncertainty they knew stopping would cost them something they couldn't afford to lose. 🎙️

We spend so much time thinking about what we teach our children. This episode flips that entirely.

My 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son have quietly, consistently and completely without knowing it been teaching me things I spent years trying to learn.

About confidence, curiosity, forgiveness, presence, friendship and joy.

In this episode I share 10 things my children do better than me — and what every mother can learn from paying closer attention to the small people she is raising.

Because motherhood isn't just about raising children.

It's about being raised by them too.

→ Making friends without overthinking it→ Asking for what you want without apologising→ Living fully in the present moment→ Forgiving quickly and moving on→ Finding joy in the smallest things→ Never saving the best for a special occasion

For the mother who sometimes forgets that the greatest leadership course of her life is already happening — right in her own home.

In the 1990s she lied about working from home.

Not because she was ashamed. Because working from home as a young mother wasn't considered real work.

Thirty years later — her kids are grown, she has four grandchildren, and she is just getting started on her next chapter.

Adrian Miller is a writer, Content Alchemist and grandmother who has lived the full arc of ambitious motherhood. And what she has to say about it — looking back from the other side — is some of the most honest and grounding wisdom we all need to hear.

In this episode:→ The lie she had to tell — and how COVID normalised what she was doing thirty years ago→ The working mother vs stay at home mother divide — then and now→ What grandparenting teaches you that parenting never could→ What children actually need to see from ambitious mothers — and it isn't perfection→ Ambition at every life stage — why it doesn't end when the kids grow up, it evolves

For the mother who is in the thick of it right now and needs to hear from someone who has been there, come out the other side and is still building something magnificent.

The long view changes everything.

This is the episode I almost didn't record.

Because life has been full lately. Really full. And sometimes showing up feels like one thing too many.

But that's exactly why I did.

Because Mambition isn't something I do when I have capacity. It's something that gives me capacity. And there's a difference.

In this episode I talk honestly about the never ending juggle — and what actually makes it possible to keep showing up even when everything is stretched.

For the mother who is wondering how anyone finds the capacity for anything beyond survival right now.

You don't need more time. You need to know what fills you.

And then protect it fiercely. 💛

She was the only girl on her rugby team.

And twenty five years on a pitch became one of the most important foundations of her life.

Not because of the sport itself. But because of what it built. The ability to receive feedback pragmatically. Without making it personal. To extract what's useful and leave the rest. To show up regardless.

Laura Jenkins is a commercial litigation partner at Stewarts. Two children. Full time.

What does it actually takes to stay at the top when the world quietly expects you to step back?

In this episode:→ How rugby built her foundation for receiving feedback — pragmatically, without making it personal→ What it took to stay at partner level after having children — and the reframe that made it possible→ The culture shift that happens when senior people are visibly human — why normalising life outside work benefits everyone→ Why motherhood made her a sharper lawyer and a more open minded human

It's a story about the foundations that don't show up on a CV — and carry you further than anything that does.

I did these things before I had children. At the time I had no idea how much they would matter.

The solo trips. The career risks. The financial discipline. The comfort I built with my own company. None of it felt like preparation. It just felt like living.

But on the other side of becoming a mother — I understand something I couldn't have understood then. Everything I built before my children arrived became the foundation I didn't know I was laying.

In this episode:→ Solo travel — on going your own way before you know where you're going→ Career risks — why making my career fluid early means motherhood never had to box me in→ Financial discipline — the habits I built in my 20s that serve me even more now→ Learning to enjoy my own company — and why that changes everything as a mother→ Investing in myself — because there is a version of me outside of motherhood that is equally worthy of the journey

For the mother who is glad she lived fully before she had children — and is living fully because of it.

She didn't know she had ADHD until she became a mother.

Not because motherhood caused it. Because motherhood exposed it.

The sleepless nights, the relentlessness, the sheer volume of what is required — all of it revealed something that had always been there but never had anywhere to hide.

So she went looking. And what she found changed everything — for her and for her children.

In this episode:→ What motherhood exposed that years of coping mechanisms had hidden→ The ADHD diagnosis — and what it felt like to finally have language for it→ Building a life that works for your brain rather than against it→ Why the label isn't the point — understanding yourself is→ How she is giving her children the language to understand themselves — not as disadvantaged but as different.

And how that same lens is teaching them to recognise and celebrate difference in everyone around them.

For the mother who has ever felt overwhelmed in a way she couldn't quite explain.

And for anyone who has wondered whether understanding themselves differently might change everything.

Nobody tells you that motherhood will make you more yourself. Not less.

More confident. More direct. Less embarrassed. Less interested in wasting time on things that don't matter. More willing to lie down on a stranger's picnic blanket — metaphorically speaking. My 3 year old does it literally.

This episode is about the growth that sneaks up on you. The version of yourself that motherhood quietly builds while you're busy building your family.

In this episode:→ Why I now have strong opinions about a good thermos flask→ The gym replacing going out — and why that brings me the same amount of joy→ Dropping the filter when it comes to people — and what my 3 year old taught me about that→ Why I genuinely believe nothing good is happening after 9pm and I am completely at peace with that→ How motherhood rewired my self awareness, my spending, my confidence and my relationship with time

For the mother who thought she was losing herself — and found out she was just getting started.
