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.

How to Use AI to Make Work, Life & Motherhood Easier with Shweta Scott
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we're talking about something I think so many of us know we should be getting better at... AI.
Because if you're anything like me, you've probably opened ChatGPT, asked it to write an email or caption, thought, "this is useful"... and then carried on doing almost everything else yourself.
But what I'm quickly realising is that AI can do so much more than that.
When you're juggling work, family, appointments, emails, meal planning and the million little things constantly taking up space in your head, AI can actually become an extra pair of hands. From managing your inbox and organising your calendar to taking meeting notes, planning meals and even helping run parts of your business, it's about finding ways to make everyday life feel that little bit easier.
And I think that's why today's partnership feels so fitting. Today's episode is proudly sponsored by M&S and celebrates the new Body by M&S collection. Because when we're already juggling so much, feeling comfortable and supported in what we wear should be one less thing to think about. The collection has been designed for real women living real lives, helping us feel comfortable, confident and supported through all the different stages our bodies go through.
Joining me today is AI expert Shweta Scott, who has worked in tech and AI since 2019 and now helps mums, founders and businesses understand how to make AI genuinely useful in their everyday lives.
Shweta shares how she uses AI as a "second brain", the difference between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, the tasks we should probably stop doing manually, and how to get AI to actually understand you rather than constantly giving you generic answers.
We also explore the other side of AI: how we keep our creativity and human connection in an increasingly AI-powered world, what happens when we rely on it too much, and what all of this could mean for the way our children learn in the future.
So if "learn how to actually use AI" has been sitting on your to-do list for months, this is a really good place to start.

SHOW NOTES:
This episode of Mother Tongue is proudly brought to you by the new Body by M&S collection.
Our bodies change so much throughout our lives - through pregnancy, motherhood, hormones, work, exercise and everything in between - but how often do we stop and think about whether what we're wearing underneath our clothes is actually working for the body we have today?
The newly relaunched Body by M&S collection has been designed for real women living real lives, combining comfort, innovation and confidence with pieces created to support you through every stage of life.
Because feeling good isn't about perfection or changing your body. It's about finding pieces that make you feel comfortable, supported and confident in your own skin, so you can spend less time adjusting what you're wearing and more time focusing on what actually matters.
Visit the M&S website [ https://www.marksandspencer.ae/en/fashion] or your nearest store to discover the new Body by M&S collection.
