The Business Mum Compass: Helping new mum entrepreneurs beat impostor syndrome, build confidence and grow with purpose.

Marie Carrillon

Details

Welcome! I’m Marie, a mum, entrepreneur and former corporate girl who left a successful career to build something of my own. The Business Mum Compass is the podcast for mum entrepreneurs, mom entrepreneurs and mums in business who are building something they believe in while navigating motherhood, impostor syndrome, self-doubt and the fear of being seen. Through honest solo episodes and conversations with women who’ve built businesses from the ground up, we talk about what entrepreneurship really looks like: how to build confidence, trust yourself, show up online, develop a stronger business mindset and keep going when you have no idea if it’s going to work. My mission is simple: to help more mothers believe they are capable of building something of their own — without waiting to feel ready, confident or qualified first. And The Business Mum Compass goes beyond the podcast. Through our live events for mums in business, we bring women together in real life to connect, learn from other founders and build the kind of community that makes entrepreneurship feel a little less lonely. If you’re building your business between school drop-offs, self-doubt and big dreams, you’re in the right place. New episodes every Tuesday.
