Acting is my first love with Jaz | mum of two, actress, hairdresser, make-up artist, marketing coordinator

In this episode of Have It All, I sit down with Jaz – a hairdresser, makeup artist, actress, content creator, marketing coordinator, AND mum of two – for a conversation about what it really means to juggle a creative career, parenting, ambition, and identity in today’s world.

From early morning drop-offs to late-night auditions, Jaz shares the realities of building a multifaceted life while raising kids and navigating a world that often makes ambitious mothers feel like they’re asking for too much. She opens up about the unpredictability of the acting industry, how she and her husband manage the juggle with their shifting schedules, and why support systems and community matter more than ever.

We also unpack the tension many women feel between career and caregiving, the role of social media in shaping (and warping) our expectations, and the question we keep circling back to: can you really have it all – or is it more about having what matters most?

We talk about:

• The reality of work-life balance in creative industries
• Ambition and the quiet judgement mothers still face
• Why support systems matter (and how to build them)
• Social media, identity, and showing up as your real self
• Self-kindness in the chaos of early motherhood
