'Do Your Thing' with Tamsin Williamson

What happens when the life you thought you were building blows up?In this episode, I'm joined by coach, author, entrepreneur and mum of four, Claire Adamou, for a powerful conversation about divorce, reinvention, and finding your way back to yourself after life's biggest challenges.Claire shares her deeply personal journey through divorce and the difficult years that followed - from feeling completely broken and overwhelmed, to rebuilding her confidence, reclaiming her identity, and creating a life that feels more aligned and joyful than ever before.But this conversation isn't only about divorce.It's about what happens when we outgrow a version of ourselves.It's about learning to trust ourselves again.And it's about finding the courage to build a new chapter, even when we can't yet see exactly what it will look like.During this lively and deeply honest conversation we explore...How easy it is to lose yourself beneath the roles we play as womenWhat it takes to rebuild self-trust after a major life transitionThe possibility, growth and freedom that can exist on the other side of a hard chapterThroughout the conversation, Claire offers an honest reminder that reinvention rarely happens in one brave leap.More often, it happens through a series of small decisions to keep moving forward, even when the path ahead isn't clear.If you've ever found yourself questioning who you are, wondering what's next, or navigating a chapter that feels far from the life you imagined, this episode is a hopeful reminder that endings can also be beginnings.And sometimes the chapters that break us open are the very ones that bring us back to life.MORE ABOUT CLAIRE:Visit Claire's website HEREFollow Claire on Instagram, Tiktok and FacebookBuy Claire's book, 'Life After Divorce: From Surviving to Thriving' HEREABOUT YOUR HOST - Tamsin Williamson•Find out about my signature coaching and mentorship programme, The Gateway >> HERE•Find out about my 90-minute Springboard Session Experience >> HERE•Book a FREE 30-min discovery call with me to explore working together >> HERE•Download my FREE GUIDE - '20 Ways To Claim Your Comeback' >> HEREWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let’s throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.

What if joy wasn’t something you had to earn?And what if the reason it feels so far away isn’t because you’re doing it wrong - but because your body doesn’t feel safe enough to receive it?In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Danielle Brooker - Motherhood Joy Coach, speaker, and mentor - who helps Mums break free from exhaustion, ditch the pressure to ‘do it right,’ and expand their capacity for joy without self-sacrifice.Danielle offers a radical reframe: that true, sustainable joy isn’t found in more bubble baths or 'perfect' to-do lists. It’s found in the body, when our nervous system feels safe enough to soften.Together, we explore:Why so many mothers feel stuck in survival modeHow nervous system regulation is the missing link in accessing lasting joyWhy “just think positive” culture can leave women feeling unseen and unsupportedDanielle’s personal story of burnout and what it really means to “do your thing” in alignment with joyPractical, embodied ways to begin reconnecting with joy - even amidst the chaos of MotherhoodWe also talk about Danielle’s free online retreat happening from 20–23 May 2025 -  Mama Joy Ignite - a soulful, spacious event for big-hearted, ambitious mothers ready to reconnect with themselves, break free of the mess, and ignite their joy.Along with 18+ other inspiring experts I’m honoured to be a speaker at this retreat too - leading a juicy, soul-deep conversation and visualisation to help you lighten the maternal mental load.🎟️ Click here to grab your FREE ticket to Mama Joy IgnitePODCAST REFERENCES: Freedom From Busy by Danielle Brooker The 6 Human Needs - Tony Robbins TED TalkMaslow's Hierarchy of NeedsFIND OUT ABOUT DANIELLE BROOKER: Visit Danielle's website HEREFollow Danielle on Instagram HEREEmail Danielle on danielle@daniellebrooker.com to discuss anything that resonated from this episode!ABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON (THE PARENTHOOD COACH): Find out how to work with me HEREBook a FREE 30-min discovery call with me HEREFollow me on Instagram HEREWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let’s throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.

This week I’m sharing an AMAZING chat with Zoe Duce all about how to maintain meaningful relationships in Motherhood.  Zoe is a connection expert who runs a business called MoveThru helping mums rebuild their friendships, romantic relationships, and social lives after having children. She understands the loneliness and disconnect that can accompany motherhood and offers practical tools to revive meaningful relationships.It’s no secret that Motherhood can shake up our relationships big time - mainly because our relationship with OURSELVES goes through such a significant transition, causing an inevitable ripple effect on our wider circles and dynamics.However, rather than surrendering to the social challenges Motherhood can throw at us, Zoe passionately champions an alternative approach - one where we get to honour our most important relationships WHILE also honouring ourselves as Mothers. YUP - it doesn’t have to be a choice! This conversation is packed full of gold, where Zoe shares all sorts including: The challenging impact that Motherhood had on her social life and relationship - and how she navigated her way throughThe reasons we can find it so difficult to invest time in our relationships alongside raising our kidsWhy it is SO important to maintain meaningful relationships as a MumSome answers to the million dollar question: How do we do it???? I have a feeling that Zoe’s words will help so many of you feel both very seen in your reality as a Mum, but also energised and hopeful that there IS absolutely another way. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ZOE DUCE:- Follow Zoe on Instagram HERE and LinkedIn HERE- Visit Zoe's website and find out how to work with her HERE- FREE Masterclass: Get At Least ONE Social Outing Per Month HERE- Join Zoe's FREE WhatsApp community, MoveThru Mums HEREABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON:- Find out how to work with me HERE- Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to explore working together HERE- Follow me on Instagram HERE- Join my email community - The Parenthood Retreat - HERE and receive a FREE mindfulness audioWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let’s throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.

Most Mums I speak to know the feeling of the 'Invisible Maternal Load' all too well - and yet often they feel the weight of it before they truly understand what it is. At times, it can feel utterly inescapable for us as Mums where we feel so weighed down by the never-ending ticker tape of mental, emotional and domestic responsibilities we're wading through, day in day out. A load that they often feel nobody else in the family truly understands, recognises or appreciates. But while feeling utterly overwhelmed by all of the to-dos and needs whirling round our heads - we can also simultaneously resign ourselves to believing that this is just how Motherhood is. Subsequently leaving us feeling EVEN more frustrated, unfulfilled, stuck - and even resentful - which isn't ever going to be any good for anyone. BUT HERE'S THE THING: that belief you're holding onto is BULLSH*T and there is 100% another way! And I want you to know that it is absolutely possible for us to break free from the draining, disempowering shackles of this invisible maternal load - and feel a whole lot lighter, more liberated and empowered in ourselves and how we show up in our daily lives. But first we need to understand the often unspoken intricacies of this 'invisible maternal load' phenomenon so we can tackle it head on! And during this episode I hope to help enlighten you on this topic, so you can start making those important first moves to lightening that load for yourself. During this episode I explain: - What the 'Invisible Maternal Load' is - The often unspoken reasons WHY so many Mums are affected by it  - A fresh perspective to adopt around the your relationship with the 'Invisible Maternal Load'- How to start breaking free from it's power, and do things differentlyPODCAST REFERENCESFor more information about Eve Rodsky's Fair Play Method click HEREABOUT ME!
