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.

Motherhood, Ambition & Reinventing Your Life with Camilla Rhuda
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we’re joined by a guest whose journey proves that reinvention doesn’t have to take years - sometimes it starts with one video and the courage to press post.
Camilla Rhuda is a Dubai-based content creator who went from working as a teacher and governess to building a rapidly growing social media platform in less than a year. What began as a creative outlet after becoming a mum quickly turned into a career - with viral videos, brand partnerships, and a community drawn to her honesty, humour and refreshingly real take on motherhood and life in Dubai.
Before content creation, Camilla’s path wasn’t straightforward. She moved to Dubai in 2017, changed careers more than once, and navigated years of fertility challenges and loss before becoming a mother - an experience that shifted her mindset and gave her the confidence to stop doubting herself and finally pursue what she’d always wanted to do
Camilla’s story is honest, funny and deeply relatable - a reminder that you don’t need a perfect plan to start again, and that sometimes the biggest shifts happen when you finally back yourself.
This is a conversation about reinvention, motherhood, confidence, and building a life and career on your own terms.
