Building A Mumpire Podcast
Wrap up of our first year together on the podcast

Season two of Building a Mumpire felt different in the best way. Bringing Jess in as co-host changed the rhythm, the energy, and the honesty. We stopped overthinking, we hit record, and real conversations showed up. We covered a wide spread of business topics and real life too, from messy weeks and money wobbles to parenting as teenage mums and, yes, “teenage moms” for those searching. It all landed because you, our community, kept listening, sharing, and telling us what you needed.


Leah is packing up for a move, so future plans include a short break, a light refresh, and more of the same straight talk you come here for. Season two became the season wrap-up that proves this show works best as a living room chat, not a lecture. We’ve grown as hosts and humans, and that growth is baked into what comes next.


If this season helped you feel seen, do two things today:

  1. Hit follow so you catch our update posts while we reset.

  2. Tell us your standout moment or the topic you want first when we’re back. Reply to this episode, leave a review, or DM us on socials. Your notes shape the show.


Prefer a queue ready to go? Start with your favourite episode from season two, share it with a mum in business, and tag us so we can cheer you on.

From celebrating personal wins to mapping out new goals, the chat goes deep into what mid-year reflection really looks like as mums running businesses.

What has this business given to you?

What has business really given you, beyond the invoices and calendar chaos?


In this episode of Building A Mumpire, Leah and Jess take a breath and reflect on the deeper shifts they’ve experienced since becoming business owners. This one’s all about perspective - the kind that doesn’t show up in your accounting software, but reveals itself in the quiet moments between client calls and school pickups.


They open up about what time really means to them now, how their confidence has grown in ways they didn’t expect, and why business has become more than just work. From managing homes more efficiently to discovering what really matters, this conversation unpacks the quiet rewards of showing up for your own dream.


There’s no perfect formula, but what you’ll hear is real, grounded, and a little bit encouraging, especially if you’re in the messy middle of building something meaningful.

Let's talk about our closets

Ever looked at your wardrobe and thought, “How do I have so many clothes but nothing to wear?” Yep - same.


Leah and Jess open up about the joy and power of curating a closet that actually works for you. They dive into the decision fatigue that comes from a cluttered wardrobe, how simplifying your outfits can boost your confidence, and why letting go of the “meh” pieces is a small act of empowerment in itself.


They also chat through their own wardrobe clear-outs, prepping for moves, selling on Depop, and the surprising satisfaction of knowing their once-loved clothes are getting a second life.


This one’s not just about fashion - it’s about making space for what matters, feeling good in your skin (and your outfit), and giving yourself permission to keep it simple.


Tune in now to hear how a curated wardrobe can shift your mindset, sharpen your mornings, and bring a little more joy into your everyday routine.


Tell us in the comments - are you team capsule wardrobe or still working through the chaos? Got a Depop story or a fave outfit that gives you instant confidence? We want to hear it. 👇🏻

Accountability but make it worth it

Running a business on your own can feel a lot like parenting — rewarding but also, incredibly isolating at times.


In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the power of accountability — the kind that goes beyond ticking off to-do lists and into real connection, support, and honesty. They share what it looks like to have someone in your corner who just gets it… someone you can be fully transparent with, who’s riding the same rollercoaster of motherhood and entrepreneurship.


From regular check-ins to vulnerable convos and shared wins, this chat unpacks how having the right accountability partner can lift your momentum, boost your focus, and make business feel a whole lot less lonely.


Whether you’re a solo business owner, a mum juggling everything, or just craving more support in your world — this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to do it all alone.


🎧 Hit play and tell us — do you have someone keeping you accountable? Or are you flying solo and feeling the weight?


Drop a comment and let’s open up the convo — we’d love to hear your story.

Charging for consultations and discovery calls

Ever felt weird charging for a discovery call… but also unsure if giving your time away for free is “good business”?


In this episode, Jess and Leah unpack their no-charge consultation approach — and why it actually works really well for them. They dive into how these calls double as a “vibe check” (because let’s face it, no one wants to work with someone they don’t click with), and how connecting emotionally with a potential client upfront can lead to better long-term outcomes.


They also talk about giving value straight away, not holding back on tips during a discovery call, and how that can actually lead to more trust — and more bookings.


This chat is real, a bit raw, and a reminder that not all business strategies need to look the same. You can prioritise connection and run a profitable, efficient business.


🎧 Tune in now and have a think: Is your consultation process really working for you?


👇🏻 After the ep, we’d love to know:

Do you charge for your consultations? Why or why not? Let’s talk it out in the comments.

Photoshoots - do you need them?

Ever looked at your Instagram and thought, “This doesn’t really feel like me anymore”?


In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into why professional photography isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a smart move for building a strong, consistent brand that actually reflects who you are right now. From awkward first shoots to finding the confidence to show up online, they share how personal growth can shift your branding, and why showing up with intention (and quality images!) can make all the difference.


They also chat through how often to book a shoot, how to make the most of your time (hint: bring a friend for extra content), and why your imagery should feel like you — not a version of yourself you don’t even recognise.


Whether you're still using that same headshot from three years ago or you’re planning your next shoot, this convo will give you a fresh way to think about branding, imagery, and showing up in your business.


🎧 Tap play and get ready for some real talk about confidence, content creation, and investing in yourself — in a way that feels good.


👇🏻 Once you’ve listened, we’d love to know:

How do you feel about showing your face in your brand? Love it? Avoid it? Somewhere in between? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

Using EOFY to overhaul your operations

Ever feel like the end of the financial year sneaks up on you while you're still juggling school drop-offs, client calls, and meal planning?


In this episode of Building a Mumpire, Leah and Jess get down to business—literally. With their no-BS approach and a dash of mum humour, they dive into how to tackle the end of financial year (EOFY) like the powerhouse you are. From planning and reflection to leveraging tech like AI, they unpack the systems and mindset shifts that can help you take control, not just survive.


Leah and Jess don’t hold back as they share their own experiences navigating EOFY chaos while building their empires. They chat about what’s worked (and what hasn’t), the power of investing in the right things (yes, even during sales), and why understanding your numbers is key to making smarter decisions. Spoiler alert: AI isn’t just for tech bros—it’s a legit game-changer for small biz mums too.


This episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and that signature Mumpire encouragement to do things your way. Whether you're a spreadsheet queen or just trying to make sense of your receipts, Leah and Jess remind you that reflection and planning can give you the clarity (and confidence) to level up.


Listen now for a relatable, motivating convo that’ll help you wrap up the year with intention—and set yourself up for an even better one ahead.

How saying No has opened us up to saying Yes to the right things

What if saying “no” opened more doors than saying “yes” ever did?

​

In this episode of Building a Mumpire, Leah and Jess get brutally honest about the power of saying no—and how that simple word can completely shift your business and your mental load. They share raw moments of overcommitting, ignoring red flags, and chasing all the things... only to realise that constantly saying yes can slowly lead to burnout.

​

As mums and business owners, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing everything for everyone. But what if protecting your time, energy, and headspace actually helped your business grow? From learning to slow down and check in with yourself, to letting go of income that doesn’t align—this chat is full of “yep, I’ve been there” moments.

​

You’ll hear how creating space (not just in your calendar but in your mindset) can lead to better choices, clearer boundaries, and more aligned opportunities. Because sometimes the best way forward is to pause, take a breath, and stop doing things just because you can.

​

🎧 Tune in now and tell us in the comments or our DMs — what’s something you’ve said no to recently that felt like a win for your wellbeing?

Mamamia article

Ever caught yourself scheduling a catch-up with a friend like it’s just another task on your never-ending to-do list? 


Leah & Jess get real about how modern female friendships have become more transactional than intentional—especially for women juggling businesses, families, and life.


In this episode, they unpack why so many friendships start feeling like check-ins rather than genuine connections and how the pressure to always “do something productive” can suck the joy out of simply being with your people. They also touch on the impact of social expectations, why alcohol seems to be at the centre of every get-together, and how to create real, lasting memories without waiting for a ‘special occasion’.


If you’ve ever wondered why friendships sometimes feel exhausting instead of energising, this one’s for you. Let’s redefine what meaningful connections actually look like.


💬 How do you prioritise quality time with friends without making it feel like another obligation? Let’s chat in the comments or send us a DM!

Imagine running a service-based business when a natural disaster hits—clients waiting, bills piling up, and your entire routine flipped upside down. In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the chaos, stress, and survival tactics of navigating business after a crisis, reflecting on the impact of Cyclone Alfred in Southeast Queensland and how they managed to juggle work, mental health, and client expectations while dealing with real-life disruptions.


They get real about the anxiety and guilt that comes with not being able to show up 100%, the pressure to keep things moving, and why over-communicating with clients is key. Plus, they share practical lessons on resilience, buffer days, and self-care strategies that help in managing business when the unexpected happens.

Growing a business and raising a baby

Motherhood, Business & The Reality of Survival Mode


Ever feel like you’re constantly juggling—and dropping—the balls of parenting, business, and just being a human? You’re not alone. In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the real, unfiltered journey of raising teenage kids while running a business, reflecting on how their parenting styles have evolved, the weight of survival mode in those early years, and how self-identity shifts through it all.


From late-night feeds to late-night business decisions, they talk about the different ways mums navigate the chaos, why there’s no “right” way to parent, and how respecting each other’s journeys makes all the difference. Because whether you’re knee-deep in nappies or negotiating with a moody teenager, the challenges are real—but so is the growth that comes with them.

What building a team as a solopreneur looks like?

Building a Team That Works: The Real Talk on Growth, Support & Productivity


Running a business while being a mum? It’s no small feat. You’re juggling school runs, client calls, never-ending emails, and somewhere in between, trying to build a team that actually works.


In this episode, Leah and Jess break down the reality of team building—without the sugar-coating. Because let’s be real: growing a team isn’t just about hiring people. It’s about building a structure that fits you, investing in personal development, and creating a work environment where everyone thrives (without you micromanaging every step).


They’ll talk about why team dynamics should never be one-size-fits-all, why communication and accountability actually drive retention, and how to stop wasting time on tasks that don’t move the needle. Plus, they’ll dive into what a team can really look like in a service-based business—because spoiler alert, it’s not always a full-time staff sitting in an office.


In this episode, we cover:

🤎 How team structures vary (and why there’s no ‘right’ way)

🤎 The real key to keeping great people on your team

🤎 Why support networks matter more than ever for mums in business

🤎 The power of personal development in leadership

🤎 How to let go of low-impact tasks and focus on growth

What are your plans for marketing in 2025?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫


Marketing is evolving—again. And in 2025, it’s no longer about pushing out polished, sales-driven content. This year, it’s all about authenticity, personal branding, and content that actually connects.


In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the marketing shifts we’re seeing in 2025, breaking down why traditional strategies just aren’t cutting it anymore. Instead of chasing trends, they explore how building genuine relationships, showing up as you, and making content fun again are the real game changers.


From personal branding to content creation hacks, they share practical ways to market your business without feeling drained. They also get real about the pressures of social media and why community support is the key to navigating the chaos.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ Why personal branding is your strongest marketing tool.
✔ How ‘show, don’t tell’ is reshaping content creation.
✔ Why carousels and relatable content outperform polished B-roll.
✔ The importance of enjoying the content you create.
✔ How collaboration and community support make marketing easier.


This isn’t just another chat about marketing—it’s a reality check on what actually works (and what doesn’t) in 2025. If you’re tired of guessing your next move, this episode is for you!
