This week I’m joined by the brilliant Tania Fielding from Little Luxe Marketing, a mum of two, ex-corporate marketing director, and now a passionate advocate for women using their skills, experience, and stories to build businesses that feel aligned.
Tania’s journey into entrepreneurship started like so many of ours do, with that moment of sitting on maternity leave wondering: What do I even do now? Who am I outside of the job I used to have? She talks openly about that professional identity crisis, the imposter syndrome that hits after years away from the workforce, and the tiny courageous moment that changed everything for her.
In this conversation we go deep into:
What it actually feels like to rebuild your career after kids
The confusion, the overwhelm, the “should I even send this email?” moments and how she slowly rebuilt her confidence through small steps.
Using your corporate skills in a new way, without starting from scratch
Tania shares how everything she thought she left behind in corporate actually became the foundation for her new business.
Why work/life balance isn’t 50/50 and what she aims for instead
We talk non-negotiables, structuring work around family rhythms, calendar boundaries, and why balance is really about seasons, not percentages.
The imposter syndrome spiral and her advice for getting out of it
Including her beautiful “confidence → clarity → conquering” framework.
The reality of starting from home with little ones underfoot
The overwhelm, the comparison, the urge to do everything and why starting small is the real secret.
What she sees coming for marketing in 2026
Community, human-first connection, and why personal brand isn’t a scary word.
Her one piece of advice for every mum starting out
(Be kind to yourself, it’s powerful.)
This conversation is grounding, encouraging, and such a beautiful reminder that you don’t need a clean slate to start a business - you already have a wealth of experience that transfers directly into your next chapter.
