100 episodes! Built in stolen moments while juggling motherhood, career, and life going completely sideways.

What you'll hear:

→ Why we started recording in dressing gowns with no idea what we were doing (and why waiting for "ready" means never starting)

→ How the podcast became a catalyst for everything else - weight training, travelling, self care.

→ Why marriage and children aren't the summit - and what happens when you realise those are roles, not your identity

→ "Ageing out of a lifetime of social choreography: stopping performing, setting boundaries, protecting peace unapologetically

→ Making peace with looking like a beginner publicly - that's the price of entry

The truth: Small projects don't stay small. They become the foundation for everything else you build.

Starting 2026 with proof: you're capable of more than you think. You just have to show up.

My 3-year-old daughter turns every nurse appointment into a fact-finding mission.

And I've been seeing this nurse for weeks.

First appointment: "What's that?" (pointing at tattoo)Next visit: "What's that?" (pointing at freckles)By week four: We know she's half Chilean, moved from Canada at 11, has two teenage kids.

Not because I asked. Because my daughter hasn't learned to mind her business yet - and she forces me to pay attention alongside her.

I used to think being polite meant keeping professional distance. But those social rules - don't stare, don't ask, mind your business - they make us polite and incredibly lonely.

In this episode, I'm discussing what we lose when we learn to be professional everywhere. Why the rules that make us polite also make us strangers. And what happens when we give ourselves permission to be curious again.

My daughter won't stay this way forever. Eventually she'll learn the rules too.

But for now? She's teaching me to see people again.

What happens when motherhood doesn't just change you - it completely redirects your life's work?

Pamela Aculey is the creative-tech founder behind MIXD Reality - the UK's first inclusive augmented reality picture book.

But first, she was a mother being dismissed in appointments, watching her autistic son Walter disappear in a world that wasn't built for him.

In this conversation:

→ How her mother's refusal to accept the status quo gave her the blueprint for advocacy

→ The moment she stopped trusting professionals and started trusting herself

→ Her own autism diagnosis and how it reframed everything

→ The invisible labor of fighting to be believed about your own child

This isn't inspiration porn. This is what happens when frustration, love, and refusal to accept invisibility collide.

If you've ever felt dismissed or like you're juggling too much while trying to change something broken - this will remind you why your mission matters.
