Episode 27: Running a Business When Your Brain Has Other Plans — with Charlotte Makes

Marie & Kate Season 1 Episode 27

This week on Mumlife, Mindset & Mayhem, we’re joined by the brilliantly creative Charlotte Carter, the face behind Charlotte Makes on Instagram.

Charlotte is a mum of two, a handmade business owner, a part-time school worker — and she’s also living with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), a severe hormonal condition that impacts her mental health and day-to-day life.

In this raw and honest chat, Charlotte shares:
 → What PMDD really is, and how it affects running a business and family life
 → The practical ways she plans for her low days and protects her mental health
 → How motherhood shapes her business journey
 → Tips for other women navigating business and mental health struggles

Plus, we put Charlotte in the hot seat for a quickfire round where we learn her guilty pleasures and favourite craft supplies (spoiler alert: there’s glitter involved).

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling all the plates while your brain has other plans, this episode is for you.
