In this episode of Mumbition, Lucy speaks with Layla Roberts, founder and Chief Organisational Officer of Sydney Concierge, a business dedicated to helping busy professionals—especially working mums—simplify their lives and reclaim their time. Layla shares her journey from discovering her passion for organisation in a call centre to building a thriving business that supports women in easing the mental load. She opens up about the systems she uses to manage work and home life, the importance of community and support, and the lessons she’s learned from helping others—like the power of delegation and the need to act before burnout. From productivity tools to her popular Christmas Concierge service, Layla’s story is a reminder that life is for living, not just surviving. She also shares a special offer for listeners and encourages women to seek help before the overwhelm takes over.

From streamlining referrals to reducing trauma for both clients and frontline staff, the hub exemplifies what’s possible when corporate, government, and community sectors unite around a shared purpose. Ciara and Carla share moving stories of impact, the challenges of building cross-sector trust, and their vision for scaling the hub to ensure no one is left behind.

In this energising episode of Mumbition, Lucy speaks with Mia Fileman and Fiona Johnston, co-creators of Ripple Festival—a bold new genre of business event that fuses entrepreneurship with art, music, and comedy. Born from frustration with traditional conferences, Ripple is a grassroots movement designed to celebrate and elevate small business owners, especially women. Mia and Fi share their journey of building Ripple in public, embracing transparency, risk, and joy, while navigating sponsorships, programming, and partnership dynamics. Their deep values alignment and complementary skill sets have been key to their success, and their advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is refreshingly honest: act fast, validate your ideas with paying customers, and back yourself unapologetically. Ripple Festival isn’t just an event—it’s a thriving community where small business owners can connect, grow, and be seen. As Mia and Fi say, playing it safe is the riskiest strategy of all—and Ripple is for those ready to swing big.

In this powerful episode, Simone Eyles shares her journey from full-time carer to founder of Disinfluencer, the world’s first inclusive stock library and e-learning platform for brands seeking to market with true inclusion. Sparked by her son’s rare disease and her frustration with how disability is portrayed in media, Simone built a business that creates paid opportunities for people with disabilities and neurodiversity. She opens up about the mindset shifts, burnout, and mentorship that helped her move from idea to impact, and how LinkedIn became a platform for breaking stigma and sharing the realities of being a mum, entrepreneur, and advocate. Her story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the untapped power of working parents—and a call to action for brands to include, support, and market to people with disabilities.

In this episode, Lucy chats with Korryn Haines, a tech systems specialist and founder of her namesake business, who helps solo and micro business owners feel calm and in control of their admin and tech. Korryn shares her journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, sparked by an unexpected redundancy and the birth of her first child. She discusses the unique challenges small business owners face when transitioning from structured corporate environments to the often chaotic world of solo business ownership. With a deep love for Google Workspace and a knack for simplifying complex systems, Korryn offers practical advice on building sustainable workflows tailored to individual needs, emphasizing her “core four” pillars: operations, marketing, sales, and delivery. Beyond business, Korryn opens up about the realities of balancing work and motherhood, especially as a neurodivergent parent raising a neurodivergent child. She reflects on the evolving nature of her business and personal life, including her recent ADHD diagnosis and the impact it’s had on her productivity and energy management. From building her own backyard office to navigating school holidays without a local village, Korryn’s story is one of resilience, adaptability, and authenticity. Her insights remind listeners that business isn’t a solo sport—and that embracing imperfection and asking for help are key to thriving both professionally and personally.

Guest: Korryn Haines, Founder Korryn Haines

‍ Key Takeaways

Start Simple: Korryn recommends building systems around four core business areas—operations, marketing, sales, and delivery—as a foundational approach.
Corporate vs. Small Biz: Transitioning from corporate to small business requires a mindset shift; small businesses often lack the built-in support systems of larger organizations.
Tech Confidence Matters: You don’t need to be a tech expert to build effective systems—confidence and curiosity go a long way.
Relearning & Adapting: Korryn is currently in a phase of relearning and recalibrating her business to align with changing personal and professional circumstances.
Neurodivergent Insights: Her recent ADHD diagnosis has helped her better understand energy management and productivity, both for herself and her child.
Boundaries Are Essential: Setting clear boundaries around work hours, especially during school holidays, is key to maintaining balance.
Home Systems Help: Small home hacks like grocery delivery and occasional cleaning support can significantly reduce mental load.
Peer Learning Over Hype: Korryn prefers learning from peer communities rather than loud, one-size-fits-all online voices.
Imperfect Action Is OK: She embraces the idea that business and parenting are messy and that progress doesn’t require perfection.

Substack – Used to follow curated voices and avoid information overload.

How to find more time

Kate Christie

Founder Time Stylers

First Published January 11, 2022

A question we often ask our mumbitious movement is: “what is the biggest challenge in your life right now?” Over the years the resounding response is always, a lack of time, something we’re pretty sure as a business owner you can personally relate to.‍

This week we are revisiting an episode from the archives with Mums & Co Expert Kate Christie, a time management specialist who started her own business after years of frustration trying to balance her busy life as a corporate lawyer with three young children. Kate works with individuals helping them to find 30 + lost hours of time a month, so that they can design and curate their perfect lives.‍

So how can you find another 30 hours in your month? How do you gain the confidence to say no?

And can we really have it all as business owning mums?

Women might be starting more businesses than ever before, but lack of access to capital is the #1 reason we struggle to stay in business. That’s according to data from the Dell Technologies 2023 WE Cities Index report that measures the “fuel” behind the most successful global female founders. At Mums & Co we refer to that “fuel” as livelihood, the systems and processes you have put in place to protect your money and time, so you can focus on the parts of the business you love, while continuing to grow. For most business owners, technology plays a very big role here. Today’s Mumbition guests are both business owning women who have put technology at the forefront of what they do. Karen Joyce, founder of She Maps and Geo Nadir and a member of DWEN, the Dell women’s entrepreneur network. And Tracy Sheen, Mums & Co technology expert and founder of The Digital Guide.

This episode is brought to you by DWEN the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network. For more than a decade, DWEN has brought women entrepreneurs together from around the world to help them connect, scale their businesses, and ultimately succeed.

Amreeta is the founder of Annature, the Australian made and owned alternative to Docusign, and Stacie a partner at PKF, a global accounting firm and proud ambassador of the solution Amreeta has created.

A terrible accident was the catalyst for the two businesses Penny Weber successfully runs today.
