The Motherhood Shift; Tia Harris on her Coaching Business, Becoming a Mum and Living Authentically

In this twentieth episode of My Kind of Business, Alex is joined by Tia Harris – a Shropshire-based mum, coach and creator of The Motherhood Shift.

Tia shares her powerful journey from corporate leadership into the world of coaching, where she now supports women in one of the most transformative seasons of life: motherhood.

They explore how her childhood experiences shaped her business decisions, what it took to step away from a successful career, and how becoming a mum cracked her wide open to a new way of living and working. Tia is passionate about helping women redefine who they are, without shame or pressure to “bounce back” – and this conversation is full of warmth, honesty and inspiration.

If you’re navigating change, growing a business alongside motherhood, or craving a deeper sense of self-connection – this episode is for you.
