Ask me a QHello Bright Minds, my guest today is 53 year old journalist Samantha Downes, who last year took up the post of senior news reporter at The Express after many years working freelance. She joined The Express in November after specialising in pensions and investment journalism as an investigative reporter for both trade and national publications including the Financial Times, City AM, and Pensions Expert. She's a mother of two teenage girls and writes about midlife, parenting and money issues for her own substack. She's written two books and has another underway and is also a financial commentator on TV and radio. We met a couple of months ago at the House of Lords at a breakfast hosted by another podcast guest, Baroness Helena Morrissey – episode 102 – to launch a report about the gender ISA gap.I think you'll love Samantha's honesty about returning to employment and her raw self-reflections about ambition. I really could have listened to her for much longer than we had time for and at the end of the episode I share my thoughts on why and how mothers careers come in and out of bloom – and it's not to do with the age of their children.ReferencesThe power of small wins – HBR article by Teresa Amabile & Steven Kramer.

When Leah and her husband decided to start a family, she found herself facing a daunting question: could she balance the career she'd worked so hard to build with the life she dreamed of creating at home? Would becoming a parent mean sacrificing her professional goals, or could she find a way to thrive in both worlds? In this special episode of Everyday Better, Leah brings her most pressing questions about balancing kids and career to three of her LinkedIn colleagues and fellow mothers: Jessi Hempel, host of the Hello Monday podcast, Courtney Coupe, Head of Original Programming and Alyssa Merwin, Vice President of Global Sales Solutions. In their conversation, the women get honest about the joys and challenges of being a working mother. They each share how becoming a parent changed their relationship to and definition of ambition, as well as reflect on how companies can better support working parents. This episode is for anyone who has both caretaking and career ambitions, anyone who feels curious about the existential questions embedded in the choice to become a parent and everyone who wants to show up as a more empathetic and supportive colleague to the working parents in their life.

What if you could forget cravings? Sounds like a fairytale, right? What if emotional eating wasn't a problem but a symptom?Today, Jenn Trepeck dives into the myths, misconceptions, and mindset traps around food, dieting, and emotional eating. Joining Jenn is Dr. Melissa McCreery, psychologist, emotional eating expert, and creator of Your Missing PEACE, to challenge the all-or-nothing holiday mindset and break down the hidden hungers driving your cravings. Together, they'll explore how curiosity (not guilt!) is the key to stepping off the hamster wheel of dieting and creating lasting freedom with food. In this episode, you'll uncover practical ways to navigate the holidays, rethink outdated beliefs, and savor life—cookies and all—without waiting until January to hit reset. Tune in and transform your relationship with food, one bite at a time!The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: [1:50] Dr. Melissa McCreery shares her inspiring story[9:24] Emotional Eating and reasons hidden hunger can drive our cravings[15:11] Dr. Melissa discusses the auto-pilot mentality and asks, “What do you want to savor?”[21:55] Dieting's hidden traps: why it feels like you're running on a hamster wheel[26:44] Unlocking self-awareness: Dr. Melissa introduces the Hidden Hunger Quiz[31:25] Why change feels hard and how to navigate emotions around the holidays[38:54] A sneak peek at the upcoming Nutrition Nugget segment: “Chew.”KEY TAKEAWAYS: Overcoming struggles like overeating, emotional eating, or food-related issues doesn't require a lifetime of self-control, discipline, or constant management. It doesn't require endless discipline or continuous management. Many feel trapped in a cycle of cravings and worry, but true freedom comes from shifting mindsets and reclaiming power over food. It's about living free from the cycle, trusting yourself, and focusing your energy on what truly matters.Emotional eating isn't the problem—it's the symptom. Labeling yourself as an emotional eater might feel like an “aha” moment, but it's often useless. We all eat for a reason, and emotional eating usually points to deeper, hidden hungers—like the need for rest, self-care, or balance. Simply trying to manage anxiety or stress isn't always the answer. It's time to uncover the hidden pangs of hunger driving your cravings and how addressing them can break the cycle for good.Holiday eating isn't inevitable—it's a choice shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. The all-or-nothing mindset during the holidays can feel like a trap: staying hyper-vigilant about food or diving headfirst into a free-for-all. Neither feels good, and both are driven by the beliefs we repeat so often they feel like facts. Challenge those narratives to help you rewrite the story about holiday eating and reclaim control without the guilt or extremes.The hamster wheel of guilt keeps you stuck—curiosity sets you free. When diets fail or holiday eating feels out of control, the instinct is often to blame yourself and push harder. But running faster on the hamster wheel doesn't work. Instead, the antidote is curiosity. Asking why things didn't go as planned—a sudden craving, holiday stress, or shifting routines—opens the door to understanding and real solutions. It isn't about perfection; it's about staying curious, learning from the moment, and choosing the next step forward.QUOTES: [0:00] “We eat for a reason. We always eat for a reason. We overeat for a reason. If you find yourself standing in the pantry staring at the cashews and the peanut butter and not knowing how you got there, there is a reason. And sometimes it's because you're having emotions you don't know how to deal with. “Dr. Melissa McCreery[8:23] “It's amazing to be on the other side of it and experience it and be able to say to someone, ‘It is possible. There is this other place'.” Jenn Trepeck[11:19] “If I'm exhausted, I can have the best tools in the world for anxiety, but I may not have the bandwidth to deal with the situation right now. So it might be helpful to know that I'm emotionally eating because I'm anxious, but actually, what I need is to address my hidden hunger for rest.” Dr. Melissa McCreery[12:53] “Sometimes it's not even the food or the choice to eat it, it's what happens after, and beating ourselves up is worse than the food or the fact that we ate because of emotions.” Jenn Trepeck[23:45] “That hamster wheel thinking kills curiosity, and curiosity is how you solve the puzzle. And this is all just a puzzle. So what's going on? There is a much more powerful question than anything you'll ever get by being hard on yourself in the holidays.” Dr. Melissa McCreeryRESOURCES:Learn more about Healthy Vibe Tribe on Dec 19 at 7pm ETLearn more about Healthy Vibe Tribe on Jan 6 at 8pm ETReady to jump into the Healthy Vibe Tribe?

Today, Dr. Dunni explores the delicate balance between career aspirations and family responsibilities. She shares her personal experiences as both a working and stay-at-home mother, highlighting the emotional and financial pressures that often compel mothers to continue working despite the challenges of childcare and career interruptions. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of creating harmony between work and home life, rather than striving for a strict balance, and encourages mothers to harness the energy derived from their love for their children to fuel their professional growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many mothers face the challenge of balancing their careers and motherhood, often feeling overwhelmed and drained as they try to juggle both responsibilities. The rising cost of living has made it necessary for many families to have dual incomes, which can force mothers to continue working even if they would prefer to stay at home. Childcare can be expensive and complicated, with situations where mothers still have to pay for services even when their children are unable to attend due to illness. Instead of striving for a strict balance between work and home life, mothers should aim for harmony, where both aspects complement each other and allow for personal and professional growth. Practicing gratitude for both home and work life can help mothers maintain a positive mindset, enabling them to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning rather than setbacks. BEST MOMENTS "Finances have become a hot topic in our day and age, especially with the rising cost of living. In those days, it was a situation whereby one person went to work And with that salary, you could feed the entire family. Now, you need two people working to be able to take care of food, clothing, shelter, basic necessities of life." "Delay is not denial." "Harmony comes when you take the energy that you build up from the love that you shower on yourself and your child and the people around you. And you use that generated energy to fuel your passion, your job, your career, your business, your work." "Tapping into the gratitude of whatever situation you're in allows you to see things differently."

Raena Boston is a Co-Founder of Chamber of Mothers, a writer, and a firm believer that “doing it all is a big scam.” This episode covers the topics of motherhood, paid leave, and the challenges faced by working mothers. It delves into the impact of paid leave on the mental health and well-being of mothers, the need for support and advocacy for mothers, and the societal expectations and guilt associated with motherhood. It delves into the need for mothers to push back against these outside world expectations and create space for themselves and their OWN family values. Shouldn't mothers get a moment to take in a reflection of who they want to be as mothers? Especially, after giving birth to child(ren)? Why doesn't our society honor such an important role?

Meanwhile, Lisa and Molly bonded over the shared struggles and joys of being a #boymom.

Check out “Working Mothers,” a poorly-aged second season installment that might rely heavily on misogyny, but it does also have a pretty great Elvis wig for Stephanie!
