Ready to stop living on someone else's timeline?
This week we sit down with Holly, who at 35 made a decision that didn't just change her family planning - it rewired her entire approach to life, career, and going after what she wants.
This isn't just about solo motherhood - it's about the courage to create the life you want instead of waiting for it to happen!
In this episode of Mambition Moments, Holly shares her journey from corporate employee waiting for "the right time" to solo mum and entrepreneur who decided to make her own timeline.
From navigating pregnancy alone during COVID to building her VA business so she could be present for every school drop-off, this is about choosing presence over perfection.
From learning to ask for help as a fiercely independent woman to embracing unlimited income potential over corporate ceilings, this episode is packed with actionable insights for any ambitious mum ready to stop waiting and start creating.
Perfect for ambitious working mothers who are tired of living by other people's timelines, feeling stuck in corporate structures that don't honour your values, or wondering how to build something that works around your family - not the other way around.

Ready for a challenge that'll push you out of your comfort zone?
We are sharing our bold September plan - a skinny dipping adventure that's about so much more than just taking a dip.
This isn't just about being brave in the water - it's about embracing what makes us squirm! 💪
In this week's Mambition Moments, we're diving deep (pun intended) into why we're choosing discomfort, how facing our fears can transform us, and why September is the perfect time to do something that scares us a little.
From body confidence to breaking free from self-imposed limitations, this episode is all about the magic that happens when we step outside our safe spaces.
Perfect motivation for your Monday morning - whether you're planning your own comfort zone challenge or just need a reminder that growth lives on the other side of fear.
