In this episode, I’m joined by mindfulness coach Lynn McLoughlin, whose journey through motherhood, grief, and personal reinvention will leave you feeling seen and supported.

Lynn opens up about how her son’s separation anxiety at school led her down a path of mindfulness, not just to help him, but to reconnect with herself. We talk about the real, raw side of parenting, navigating the sudden loss of her dad in 2023, and how self-compassion became a lifeline during that time.

She also shares her experience of leaving the corporate world, becoming a stay-at-home mum, and then finding the courage to retrain and start her own business, with the support of women who truly got her.

💬 What We Talk About in This Episode:

  • How mindfulness helped her support her child through anxiety

  • The healing power of self-compassion in motherhood and grief

  • Losing confidence after a career break—and how to rebuild it

  • The importance of women supporting women in business

  • Why it’s never too late to change direction or start something new
