Continuing its mission to empower and uplift mums juggling the demands of motherhood and business, season five of the podcast promises fresh insights and practical advice to help mums at every stage of their founder journey.

With a growing community of ambitious women tuning in each week, this season offers even more insights, featuring candid conversations with industry leaders and real-life stories that will resonate with entrepreneurial mums across the UK and beyond.

The number of female owned businesses in the UK has grown by 169.8% from 2016 to 2020. In 2021 29% of women considered starting their own business. 9 out of 10 women need flexible working so they can create careers that reflect their priorities and the realities of family life.

Hosted by Caroline Marshall, Founder of Upsource, a Virtual Assistant agency and mum to two small boys, the Bump to Business Owner podcast offers a much-needed platform where motherhood and successful business intersect. Season five features interviews with business leaders like community founder Lea Turner, healthtech founder Dr Dupe Burgess, and a forthcoming conversation with serial entrepreneur and confidence ambassador Lauren Currie OBE. Real women share how they have created a thriving business without compromising on their family life.

“Season 5 of the podcast promises to be the best yet,” said Caroline Marshall. “The female founder community is growing, despite the challenges we face. Our mission is to support mums and business owners every step of the way, in both their motherhood and business journey. This season has more inspirational, real, women, more actionable business advice and more community insights.”
