    Acknowledging what has been built here.
    During this one-off, finale episode, Kate reflects on the imparted wisdom of her guests from season three of The Ambitious Mum Podcast.

    Kate talks about everything from our long-standing and limiting beliefs to recognising when we’re out of alignment and how this shows up in our bodies.

    Hear as she shares how these conversations have shifted her view during the pandemic and what increased self-awareness has gifted her during this time. She also acknowledges how making space, choosing more rest and creating time out, actually helps us create the lives we want and not what we think we should be doing or being.

    Kate also shares her gratitude for the community surrounding The Ambitious Mum and what the podcast has become.

    Kate Moryoussef is a Wellbeing/EFT coach and mum to four children, also newly diagnosed with ADHD (an explanation and NOT a label she's keen to point out!) who is passionate about helping women to improve their emotional and physical wellbeing, rediscover their inner voice and spirituality, tap into their expansive potential, fulfil their desires and realise themselves outside of the overwhelm, inner pressure and family dynamic.

    17: How our inner beliefs can either propel or hold us back
    Jul 13 2021
    Getting curious about your own inner beliefs and what you think to be "true" about yourself.

    Joining Kate today is Shelley Bosworth, an ex-corporate, straight-talking, women’s mindset coach. 

    After turning 40, experiencing a health scare and personal loss, Shelley decided that she wanted ‘more’ and set about changing her path. She now helps ambitious female business owners take back control of their life and break free of their self-limiting beliefs to step into the ‘more’ they have always dreamt of.

    During this episode, hear Shelly and Kate discuss limiting beliefs, how they could be holding you back and the different ways they show up. They also discuss normalising and sharing how you really feel about your inner beliefs and how it's attached to your self-worth - Shelley reminds us that we have full control over our own beliefs and thoughts.   Also hear about DiSC profiling, what this test is and how it can really benefit not just your relationship with yourself, but those closest to you and even your working relationships

    Connect with Shelley via her Website, Instagram and her Facebook Group for women.   Kate Moryoussef is a Wellbeing/EFT coach and mum to four children, also newly diagnosed with ADHD (an explanation and NOT a label she's keen to point out!) who is passionate about helping women to improve their emotional and physical wellbeing, rediscover their inner voice and spirituality, tap into their expansive potential, fulfil their desires and realise themselves outside of the overwhelm, inner pressure and family dynamic.

    16: Creating the lives we want, one small step at a time
    Jul 9 2021
    If you feel creatively blocked or deprived, this episode may inspire you to take stock and chase your creative desires. Choosing to leave your lucrative banking career to follow your dream at drama school, alongside having two small children, seems pretty crazy but for Esther Wane it was the best thing she ever did.  
    Creativity can be hard to identify with, or at times feel way out of reach. Today's guest, creative coach and storyteller, Esther Wane helps to unlock that sense of creation and purpose within people.

    Esther's soul searching began following a difficult emotional time after having her children and leaving her corporate job. She then began following her own purpose and training as an actor after leaving her corporate career gave Esther what her daughter described as a "glow-up".

    During this episode, Kate and Esther talk more about:

    🔑 It's about those small choices you make to reach your purpose
    🔑 Ask what do I want to do next?
    🔑 Giving up self-doubt for over a year - and how that led her to a successful blog
    🔑 The harder and darker experiences of motherhood
    🔑 The concept of "The Creative Hero’s Journey"
    🔑 Living life as your heroic self and moving past obstacles that prevent you from      living a life more aligned to a purpose
    🔑 How we grow and learn as humans in small yet monumental ways
    🔑 Allowing creativity to flow in all areas of your life - not just through art
    🔑 How creativity pops in when we have quieter minds, such as driving or in the shower - notice these moments
    🔑 If we stop for long enough, we do know more than we think - we don't need to know the whole journey, just the next step
    🔑 The joy is in the process and making conscious choices along the way
    🔑 Living authentically can make the process fun, without always focussing on the outcome
    🔑 Learning on the job, honing in on the joy and the 'why' and trying not to focus on the how 
    🔑 Notice who and what inspires you
    🔑 Gratitude and what genuinely matters to us
    🔑 Use your vision board with intent, but without specifics
    🔑 Using meditation, however that looks like to you

    🗣 How mouth breathing activates our fight or flight mode

  • 13: Healing our mother wound and ancestral lineage

    13: Healing our mother wound and ancestral lineage
    Jun 29 2021
    “If I couldn't fail and I was living without this limiting belief, what would life look like?”  
    Could your procrastination and anxiety be caused by ancestral trauma? Kate's guest this week is Heather Sharples, a spiritual coach who helps mothers to break the cycle of inherited beliefs.

    Hear Kate and Heather discuss how ancestral trauma can manifest as depression, anxiety, self-sabotage and generally "playing small". And learn how you can move beyond limiting beliefs.

    The pair also delve into the huge topic of the mother wound, honouring the strength our mothers gave us and Heather gives practical modes of inner work that can allow you to heal the mother wound for your own children and family.

    Heather and Kate also talk about:

    →Collective mother wound - patriarchal beliefs that have been passed on
    →Planetary mother wound - what is happening across the world as women
    →Personal mother wound - generation to generation of self-sabotage or feelings of not feeling enough or worth enough
    → Suppressed inherited trauma being passed on over seven generations, the notion of epigenetics
    → Fear of abandonment and rejection, with this leading to abandoning our authentic selves
    → People pleasing 
    → Breaking cycles of self-sabotage and the power that gives the next generation
    → Healing by resting
    →Judging ourselves and how our children watch us all the time
    → Can we choose to see what strengths we have inherited from our mothers?
    → Where are our needs not being met?
    → How to allow our frustration to rise to show us where we need to change
    → How can we delegate to free ourselves from the pressure?
    → Are you a martyr to motherhood, full of resentment?
    → How the need for ancestral healing can be masked as depression and anxiety
    → How the notion of life 'happening to us' needs to be flipped 
    → How internalised trauma can manifest in physical illness and by healing our ancestral pain       You can connect with Heather via her Instagram and Facebook

  • 12: Aligning with your heart over your head

    12: Aligning with your heart over your head
    Jun 22 2021
    This week's episode is a special one as Kate chats to her good friend and former boss, Suzy Glaskie.  After knowing each other for 16 years, this conversation is all about their shared experience of starting afresh when your previous career doesn't align with your heart anymore.

    Despite her lifelong interest in holistic practices, after graduating from university Suzy became sidetracked from this with a long career in PR, which on the surface went from strength to strength. After having her children, Suzy even started her own PR company, alongside her husband, which grew rapidly and successfully yet when she looked around the office she knew this wasn't what she wanted forever.

    This is where Suzy's holistic awakening took shape and after doing a reiki session with her very poorly father, she hit a turning point where she decided to leave her business - the very next day. 

    Kate and Suzy's talk about her long-time interest in wellbeing which then led her to retrain as a functional medicine lifestyle coach and launch her business, Peppermint Wellness, where she is now helping people from all walks of life in preventive health and emotional wellness.

    Together Suzy and Kate talk about:

    • How health coaching is all about connection, gentle steps and hand-holding
    • The power of a daily gratitude practice
    • Creating a journal practice and using the writing to solidify our gratitude and desires
    • The importance of incorporating lifestyle prevention and wellness into our daily lives
    • The beauty of spending time in nature, however that looks like to you
    • Feeling misaligned with work and using this knowledge to leverage a new chapter in your life
    • Subtly imparting health knowledge and wisdom to children without turning them away.
