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.

The Mum Juggle & Brand Building with Nikki Martin and Karen Dougall from Palm Living
In this week’s episode we have the pleasure of speaking to two lovely ladies who saw a gap in the market, and in 2020 created a company where they design, manufacture and deliver beautiful, bespoke luxury furniture.
Having previously worked in the fashion industry for many years, their products ooze European minimalist, style but at affordable prices.
These business owners are also mums and today we discuss everything from the mum juggle, starting your own business and how to manifest what you want!
Tip: Less is more!
Product: Esmae cloud chair is a firm favourite and great for feeding in nurseries.
