Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour

Bethany Webster is back on the podcast, and if you've been around for a while, you know how much her work has impacted me personally.
Bethany is the author of Discovering the Inner Mother and is known for her work around the Mother Wound and the complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters.
Her work has been transformational for me in dealing with my own relationship with my mother, and there's something about the way Bethany talks about this stuff that I always find so healing.
In this episode, we talk about:
The Mother Wound and complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters
Where some of these dynamics come from
Jealousy between mothers and daughters
The Shame women can feel when they don't have a positive relationship with their mom 
How unmet needs from childhood can show up in adult relationships 
Why so many women feel like they need to do everything for everyone else 
Our worry about saying no or not meeting everyone's needs
Burnout, boundaries and asking for help 
Letting go of pressure
What happens when your definition of success changes 
This is such an honest conversation about our relationships with our mothers, the ways those relationships can continue to affect us as adults, and what it looks like to start doing things differently.

Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, is on the show today to talk about something so many women are feeling: the mental load of keeping a household running.
And before you think, a house manager sounds bougie and completely unattainable... don't judge this episode before you hear it.
We talk about:
What a house manager actually does
The invisible labour women carry at home
The guilt and judgment that can come with outsourcing
How to figure out what you actually need help with 
What a house manager costs and ways to make it more affordable 
The things I personally outsource that women have judged me for
Why getting support at home can impact your business, relationships and life

Even if you never hire a house manager, this episode will make you think differently about what you're carrying and what you could stop doing yourself.

Colleen Freeland, founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, is on the show today. Colleen helps high-achieving women change their relationship with alcohol without shame, surrender or the idea that the only option is to never drink again.
In this episode, we talk about:
Mommy wine culture back in the covid days
Using alcohol as a way to cope
Why cutting back isn't just about willpower
Mindful and responsible drinking
Emotional regulation and paying attention to what you actually need
Colleen's strategies for hangovers
The pressure women are under
What Colleen learned from AA and why she began questioning the disease model of alcoholism
What changing your relationship with alcohol can look like without necessarily cutting it out completely

This was such an honest, eye-opening conversation, and I think a lot of women will see themselves in parts of it.

What if nothing is actually wrong with your life… but you still know you want something different?

In the first episode of Permission, I'm talking about reinvention, starting over at 40, and what it really looks like to walk away from a successful business and identity you've outgrown.

I'm sharing why I left the stepmom niche after almost a decade, the financial and ego hit that came with changing direction, and what this season is teaching me about money, work, getting older and figuring out what comes next.

Because you don't need to hate your life to want to change it.

And you don't need to have the entire next chapter figured out to start.
Welcome to Permission. I'm so glad you're here.
