Motherhood changes everything—your priorities, your identity, your sense of self. Navigating hormonal shifts, balancing self-care, and redefining your purpose can feel overwhelming. But do you really have to lose yourself in the process? Marcia Leone (Not So Mumsy) shares her raw, unfiltered journey of navigating motherhood, solo parenting, and building a thriving business—all while staying true to the woman inside the mother. If you’ve ever felt torn between being a great mom and honoring your passions, this conversation will hit home.

Marcia opens up about the reality of blending motherhood and ambition (because balance? It’s a myth—something every ambitious mother struggles with). We talk about the vulnerability that builds real connection, the self-care non-negotiables that keep her grounded, and why choosing natural, hormone-friendly fashion is more important than we realize. Plus, we dive into the pressures of social media, the power of community, and how she’s helping women reclaim their identity at every stage of motherhood.
