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.

From Burnout to Balance with Sana El Banna

Today we’re diving into something that has honestly blown my mind - gut health. I recently did three tests with Precision Wellness: the Gut Chex, Nutri Chex, and a Functional Blood Test. The results were eye-opening. We found that my gut was out of balance, the supplements I’d been religiously taking weren’t even being absorbed, and I might not actually be coeliac after all.
So I had to get the brilliant Dr. Sana from Precision Wellness on the podcast to break this all down. We’re going to talk about why gut health is such a game-changer for mums, how stress and exhaustion show up in our bodies, and what therapies — like red light therapy, IVs, and more - can actually help us feel human again.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, doing all the right things but still not feeling better, this episode is for you.
