Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes.
I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it.
Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything.
Mother Tongue isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect. It’s about feeling less alone, better informed, and more grounded in the choices you’re making - whether you’re building a business, raising children, starting again, or simply trying to make sense of the season you’re in.
New episodes weekly.
Listen in, wherever you are.

Modern Motherhood, Values & Boundaries with Harriet Mandak
Today on Mother Tongue, I’m joined by someone who will be very familiar to many of you - Harriet Mandak. Harriet is a coach and mentor who specialises in helping women uncover their values, set boundaries, and create healthier habits and routines that truly support their lives. She’s been on the podcast before, and every time she joins us the response from our community is incredible.
Harriet is also a mum of three, and she’s about to celebrate a milestone 40th birthday - so there’s no better moment to sit down with her and talk about what modern motherhood really looks like today. In this conversation, we’ll be diving into values, boundaries, burnout, routines, and the lessons Harriet has learned in this season of life.
I know you’ll come away from this episode with so many practical insights and gentle reminders that you are not alone in this journey.
