Work It Like A Mum

This week, we’re going LIVE with an empowering, honest conversation that every woman considering entrepreneurship needs to hear.

We chat with Rebecca Newnham, founder of Get Ahead, about how building your own business can unlock freedom, confidence, and financial independence, without burning out or losing yourself.

With 15 years of business experience and a nationwide team behind her, Rebecca brings a wealth of wisdom and warmth to this episode.

✨ Why entrepreneurship is life-changing for women
✨ How to know if it's right for you
✨ The practical steps to get started
✨ Real talk about the challenges (and how to overcome them)
✨ Building a business that works around your life

🙋‍♀️ Whether You're:

🔸 Feeling stuck in your career
🔸 Dreaming of being your own boss
🔸 Looking for more flexibility and control
🔸 Ready to turn your skills into something bigger

This episode will help you get clear, feel confident, and take those first steps, without the overwhelm.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Start scrappy. You don’t need the perfect logo or website to begin.
• Freedom is the biggest flex. Being your own boss means designing a work life that actually works for you.
• Money follows clarity. Know your worth, price your time, and have a plan.
• Confidence grows in the doing. That first scary networking event? Just the beginning.
• Support speeds things up. Ask for help. People want to cheer you on.
