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.

The Truth About Healthy Hair: Colour, Extensions & Living in Dubai with Louise Bailey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hair is one of those topics that seems to come up in every conversation. Whether it's finding a colour that actually suits you, covering greys, deciding whether extensions are worth it, or simply trying to make your hair look a little fuller and healthier, there is so much advice out there that it can be difficult to know what is actually right for you.
And I think so many women are looking for that balance. We want beautiful hair, but we also want healthy hair. We want colour that looks natural, extensions that nobody can spot, and routines that fit into real life rather than taking hours every week. So today, I wanted to have an honest conversation about all of it — from the biggest mistakes people make with colour and extensions, to how to choose the right shade, maintain healthy hair, and achieve that effortless look that so many of us are chasing.
Joining me is Louise Bailey, founder of Beauty Club London, who has built a hugely loyal following thanks to her expertise in colour, extensions and hair health. Louise is known for creating beautiful, natural-looking results and helping women feel like the best version of themselves, without the trends or the fuss.
