Ask Me Anything - Celebrating 4 Years of the MWH Podcast


Pop the champagne ’cause the Mums With Hustle Podcast is celebrating 4 years of the Mums With Hustle Podcast with another episode where Karl, my husband, is interviewing me with questions my listeners emailed in!Today’s podcast episode is going to be a little cheeky and off the cuff since I had no idea what questions I was going to be asked.

So without further ado, let’s get into it!KEY TAKEAWAYS:>>[0:22] I’m honestly a bit scared to be coming to you from the studio today because apparently Karl and my sneaky assistant, Lara, hi-jacked my inbox requesting that you send in any questions you may have so that Karl can interview ME!>>[2:53] Can you believe that it has been four incredible years since starting the Mums With Hustle Podcast? I’m so grateful and very thankful for every single one of you listening to this podcast, for leaving reviews, and for being a pivotal part of the Mums With Hustle community.>>[4:40] Hannah from @themindsetmama asked, “How did you decide podcast over blog? What made you just launch into it with full faith in yourself?”I actually had a blog and podcast when I first started! I decided that I would post a blog and podcast once a week, so I had committed to doing two pieces of core content every week.
After about two years, I leaned into the content that I enjoyed creating the most which is the podcast! It’s my preferred communication style in general because it builds a relationship much quicker.From day one, I focused on “how is this action going to help the most amount of people?”>>[7:49] Sandra from @hashtaginstaprints asked, “What does Tracy do to stay on top of her mental health?”Looking after my mental health is a top priority for me because a few years ago I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, mild depression and acute stress.
Every single day, I always do something very small just for me. Once a fortnight, I like to go and get my hair washed and blow dried. Karl is really good at giving me an uninterrupted coffee.I dove deep into understand who I truly am at a soul level, not who I think I’m supposed to be for other people. I also continue working towards knowing what my core needs are as a human, and I setboundaries.>>[10:27] Melanie from @forevertoyshop wants to know, “What should someone never do on an Instagram Stories post?”I love being a business rebel and shaking things up by just being you.
Don’t be something you’re not and don’t think you have to play a certain roll.Something I really cringe at is when people name or shame other businesses or customers. It’s not a good look to get ranty! Ask yourself, “Is this the best way to go about this?”
Be yourself. Be authentically. If you’re on Instagram for business, then know why you’re there.>>[13:16] Karen asked, “What has been the most challenging experience in business so far?“There are so many challenging experiences! Every time you add something new that leads to growth feels, it will feel so hard and heavy.
Having to say goodbye to people on your team, really hurts. But it’s a part of stepping into your role as a leader.Sometimes projects don’t come to fruition because there are red flags or your intuition pops up and it’s telling you it isn’t right.
Being willing to make tough calls in your business.>>[15:28] Mel from @fortheloveofsorted_mel asked, “Do you ever have days where everything is “too hard” and you want to be alone for a hot minute? If so - what do you do?”I totally do, and I always give myself that time! As I’ve said before, I only have three things on my to-do list per day.
It’s really necessary to give yourself time away and time to chill, so when you come back you have more clarity.I know that there are times in the month when I’m feeling supercharged and I can run the world. There are days when work feels difficult,
