Balanced Mum Academy®
Take back your life Balanced Mum Academy® is for ambitious working mums who want to feel like themselves in the life they've worked so bloody hard to build - rather than disappearing somewhere under everything it takes to hold it together. Know what matters to you. Trust yourself enough to choose it and have more of yourself available for the life you actually want to be in.
Be in the room with your kids without the background track running.
Close the laptop and actually be done.
Make a decision without spending the next three hours wondering whether you've let somebody down.
Know when work needs more of you. When your family does. And when, actually, you do.
Without every choice feeling like you're failing somewhere else.
You probably already know quite a lot about what you'd like to change.
You've tried holding boundaries. Protected drop-off. Told yourself you're going to stop checking work in the evening. Maybe even changed your hours.
And some of it probably helped.
It just didn't change what happens when everything feels important again.
The email comes in.
Somebody needs something.
Work gets busy.
The week goes slightly feral.
And somehow you're back being the woman who absorbs it all.
That's the bit we work on inside Balanced Mum Academy®.
Not another set of rules about what a balanced working mum should do.
BMA helps you hear what matters to you underneath everybody else's volume, trust your judgement again, and actually follow it when real life tests you.
So you can keep the drive, keep the capability, keep the career if you want to...keep the parts of this life you love.
And have more of yourself available to actually live it.
Balanced Mum Academy®
A six-month supported programme for working mums who want to feel like themselves inside the lives they've worked bloody hard to build.
You don't need another person telling you to hold your boundaries…
You need to understand why the boundary that made perfect sense this morning suddenly feels wrong when somebody needs something from you.
Why leaving the email unanswered feels heavier than answering it.
Why somebody else's disappointment can make you question a decision you were perfectly happy with five minutes earlier.
Why, when everything feels important, your own sense of what matters can become surprisingly difficult to hear.
This is why the things you've already tried haven't created the shift you expected.
There is nothing wrong with working fewer hours, having boundaries, getting more organised or protecting time for yourself.
They can all help.
But changing the arrangement doesn't automatically change what happens inside you when real life kicks off.
Because by this point, responding to what needs you has become incredibly well practised.
So even when you KNOW what you want, the old response can get there first.
You can have the part-time contract and still work 50 hours.
You can block out the afternoon and give it away when somebody needs you.
You can close the laptop and spend the evening carrying work around in your head.
You can say no and spend two hours wondering whether you should have said yes.
That's why I created the Whole YOU Framework.
We work underneath the decision - strengthening your sense of what matters to you, loosening the beliefs that make choosing differently feel so loaded, and building the skills to actually live by your answer when real life gets involved.
How we do that
The Whole YOU Framework builds with you, so you never have to trial and error your way through again
KNOW YOURSELF
When everything feels like it matters, you give yourself to it before you can process if that’s what you want
Work. Children. Your relationship. Home. Other people's expectations.
BMA helps you get clear on who you are now and what matters to you now.
Not what mattered before children or what you thought your career should look like ten years ago.
You. Now.
So when work, your children, somebody else's expectation and the thing you need are all competing for your attention, they stop automatically carrying the same weight.
You can tell what actually matters here.
TRUST YOURSELF
Knowing your answer is one thing, still believing it when somebody wants something different is quite another.
So we don't start with holding boundaries you’ve never been able to or massive changes that feel like too much right now, we start with the small, ordinary moments that make big difference to you…
Until you can make the choice and leave it made - without spending the evening reopening the case in your head.
NAVIGATE YOUR ACTUAL LIFE
I'm not going to tell you work should always come second.
Sometimes you give work everything. Sometimes you leave it waiting. The difference is that you know why you've chosen it.
That's what balance looks like here.
Not everything getting an equal share of you.
You knowing what you want to give.
Having done life this way for years doesn't mean this is simply who you are. It means you've had years of practice.
Changing how you live doesn’t need to become a new part-time job called Working On Myself.
“I can really focus on my little boy”
Stopping working when you’re not getting paid to work is one thing, but the ability to switch off the noise and KNOW that you’re ok to spend your weekend with your kids is absolutely priceless.
“It's been a complete shift of mindset overall..”
This is what’s possible when you build your confidence to live differently - no blowing up your life, just the support to make the small changes that make a big difference.
You don't have to become a different woman to have a different life.
This bit matters, because perhaps you like being ambitious.
You like caring.
You like being somebody people can rely on.
You like being good at what you do.
You worked bloody hard to become this woman.
Of course you don't want change to mean losing her.
It doesn't.
BMA isn't about making you care less. It's about giving you more choice over where that care goes.
You can be the woman who pulls something extraordinary out of the bag when it genuinely matters > Without every problem becoming your personal mission.
You can care enormously about your career > Without work automatically getting first refusal on your time, attention and headspace.
You can adore your children > Without believing being a good mum means absorbing everyone else’s needs before you get to take a breath
The capable woman gets to stay. She just doesn't have to be on permanent standby.
Balanced Mum Academy® is where this becomes how you actually live.
You won't be handed the Whole YOU Framework and left to figure out how the hell to apply it between work, school pick-up and a mountain of school admin in the evening.
You're supported while you make the changes in your actual life.
Inside BMA you'll get:
1. The complete Whole YOU Framework
Short sessions and exercises to help you understand yourself, what matters now, and what's happening when old patterns take over.
You have lifetime access, so you can come back to it at any time.
2. 10 live group coaching sessions
Bring the real moment you keep repeating.
The boundary that wobbled.
The fear of what ‘they’ might think if you say no, or say yes.
The decision you made and now can't stop second-guessing.
We work with your actual life, and what you need to feel more of the good bits.
3. Weekly skill-building and office hours
In between the sessions you’ve go the Private group to ask me anything and build the skills we all need to juggle our crazy lives - in short prompts that take less than 4 mins a week.
4. One private 1:1 with me
Dedicated space to go deeper into the blocker that's particularly sticky for you.
5. BMA grounding practices
Short 2-5 minute practices for the moments when knowing what you want and being able to access it feel like two very different things.
6. Private community support
With other capable working mums doing this work alongside you.
Plus two additional months of support after the core curriculum ends
Because real change gets built by living it. Not by disappearing for a week and finding yourself, only to lose her again a week later.
“But I genuinely don't have time for another thing.”
Good. BMA wasn't built for a woman with loads of spare time. I know you don't have three spare hours every Sunday to light a candle, open a pristine notebook and devote yourself to Personal Development. This has to work inside the life you've already got. The Whole YOU sessions are short (nothing over 15 minutes). The changes happen in the moments already happening: - When you're about to say yes before checking your capacity. - When you've closed the laptop but your head is still in the meeting. - When you need an hour and immediately start thinking about who else might need it more. - When somebody asks for something and you feel yourself automatically taking responsibility. That's where we work.
Real working mums. Real lives. Real change.

Balanced Mum Academy is for you if...
You've reached the point where you don't want another tip or hack to be more organised. You know enough, you’ve tried enough. You can see some of your patterns while you're actually doing them and still find yourself thinking: Why the bloody hell did I do that again? (hello answering emails at 9pm instead of watching Bake Off) You want support to change how you actually live, show up and feel in your life without throwing away your career or losing your personality. You want to know what matters to you now and feel confident enough in your own judgement to act on it. You’ve spent long enough giving everything to work, and leaving the dregs for your family (and nothing for you), you want considerably more say in how much of you everything gets.
Hi, I'm Roz
I spent twenty years leading inside companies including Mars, Diageo and Danone. I loved my work. I loved my kids. And somewhere between the two, I was disappearing. At one point I had a 20-hour contract. I was working 50. Turns out having fewer hours written on a piece of paper doesn't change the woman working them. I knew I needed boundaries. I knew I needed to switch off. I knew where the bloody laptop button was. What I didn't understand was: Why was it so hard to do what I already knew I wanted to do? That question changed everything. I started looking underneath the behaviour - at why effort had become my answer, why leaving things undone felt so difficult, and why being needed, useful and capable carried so much weight. I took the neuroscience-backed tools I'd already used successfully and rebuilt the approach around what I'd discovered had changed once motherhood and years of responsibility entered the picture. That became the Whole YOU Framework. And it's the work I now do inside Balanced Mum Academy® - helping brilliant working mums hear themselves again, trust what they hear, and have more say in how they actually live their lives.

FAQs
How is Balanced Mum Academy® different to what I've tried before?
If you've tried reading self-help books or doing yoga to 'fix' yourself, this is different. The Whole YOU Framework combines deep understanding of what matters to you and what you need, with building the skills to prioirtise it. Plus you get to explore everything in 1:1s or Group Coaching so you don't end up jumping into a one-size ifts all solution.
If you want to know if it's a good fit for you, fill out the application form and we'll get back to you in the next 2 working days. Application Form for next available cohort
How long do I need to complete the YOU powered Framework?
You get lifetime* access to the content hub to work through the 10 modules - if you join a guided support cohort you'll be walked through each module over 16 weeks (excluding school holidays)....and all exercises and worksheets are downloadable, so you can come back to them in your own time.
After the Group Coahcing ends, you get a further 2 months support to embed the skills and continue your momentum - and there is an option to extend after that if you'd like further support.
I have questions. Can I speak to someone about Balanced Mum Academy® before I join?
Absolutely! I'm always happy to talk with wonderful working mums about what's really going on for you and how I can support you.
During the enrolment window you can book a free call with me and we can talk it through 1:1. There's no sales pitches and no pressure - just a chat.
It's not in my interest to have members who wont benefit from this incredible resource, so I'll never recommend Balanced Mum Academy® if it isn't right for you.
