"Mama, What's Next?" celebrates a world where the way mom founders build businesses isn't a compromise. It's the competitive advantage. For women who are rebuilding, reinventing, or expanding - through business, freelance, or portfolio careers - and need to become visible to do it. We interview female founders who turn the 'Motherhood Advantage' into sustainable, service‑based businesses - redefining career success without performing or hustle - and growth and visibility through quiet, non-performative marketing. Mel Elsbeth talks to mom entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and women redesigning work and business around their actual lives. Often our conversations sit at the intersection of women building meaningful work through portfolio careers, freelance businesses, or founder paths after a major life transition. These are honest conversations about what it actually takes to transition from 9 to 5 or corporate, position yourself strategically, and build a business that respects your capacity as a mother. Stop asking for permission, write your own playbook. Your Way Works (Even if it doesn’t look like everyone else’s). New episodes drop weekly for working mothers building differently.

    Alleinerziehend, Youtube Storyteller 400k, Gründerin einer Schule in Uganda - wie geht das denn bitte? / mit Katja Wolf Peace, Love & Om & Podcasthon
    Mar 16 2026

    Diese Episode ist Teil der 4. Edition des Podcasthon. Podcasthon ist die weltweit größte Podcast-Wohltätigkeitsinitiative, die Podcaster*innen auf der ganzen Welt zusammenbringt, um das Bewusstsein für gemeinnützige Zwecke zu stärken.

    Diese Episode unterstützt den Verein Weltfairbunden.

    Katja von Peace, Love & Om baut seit acht Jahren einen YouTube-Kanal auf — über Menschen, die anders leben. Im Van, in der Jurte, in der Mongolei, neben Nomaden. Über 400.000 Abonnenten folgen ihr heute. Nicht wegen einer Strategie. Wegen echter Geschichten.

    Sie kommt aus dem Fernsehen, aus dem Radio, aus der Welt des Klatsch-TV — und hat irgendwann gemerkt: Das bin ich nicht. Also hat sie alles mitgenommen, was ihr genutzt hat, und den Rest losgelassen. Das Handwerkszeug. Die Neugier. Die Kamera. Und dazu eine kleine Tochter im Camper.

    In dieser Episode sprechen wir darüber, wie Katja als alleinerziehende Mama ein Business aufgebaut hat, das zu ihr passt - ohne sich zu verbiegen, ohne den perfekten Moment abzuwarten. Über Unschooling im Van und warum das nicht für jeden funktioniert. Über YouTube-Monetarisierung und was wirklich dahinter steckt. Und über den Verein Weltverbunden, den sie gegründet hat - weil sie in Uganda eine Schule gesehen hat, die es nicht gab.

    Was dich in dieser Episode erwartet:

    1. Wie Katja als eine der Ersten im deutschsprachigen Raum Vanlife auf YouTube dokumentiert hat
    2. Warum YouTube heute viel schwieriger geworden ist — und was wirklich hinter der Monetarisierung steckt
    3. Wie Schulpflicht und Reisen mit Kind in Deutschland wirklich funktionieren
    4. Was sie jeden Morgen und Abend tut, um als selbstständige Mama nicht im Chaos zu versinken
    5. Wie aus einer Hühnerstelle in Uganda eine Schule mit 405 Kindern wurde

    PS - teilweise suboptimale Audio, wir hatten während des Interviews mehrfach Technikprobleme mit dem Online Studio und haben jetzt das beste rausgeholt. Aber so ist das manchmal, genau dann wenn's drauf ankommt, streikt die Technik.

Tell me your story and build trust: work with me and create your Sunny Chapter EditWhat if the return-to-office mandate isn't about collaboration at all - but about real estate investments and control? This week, we're exposing the truth about why trust is eroding at work, why women are the first to see through it, and how to build your own flexibility before you're forced to react.Companies are demanding you return to the office while simultaneously talking about AI replacing jobs. The math isn't mathing. In this episode, remote work futurist Nola Simon breaks down what's really happening - and how to position yourself ahead of the curve instead of waiting to be managed out.The future of work isn't coming. It's here. And if you're a woman, a mother, or someone building meaningful work without the performance theatre, this conversation matters.Nola Simon, a future of work strategist and remote work futurist, joins the podcast to talk about what's really driving return-to-office mandates, why trust in leadership is breaking down, and how women—especially caregivers and multi-passionate entrepreneurs—are quietly redesigning work on their terms.This isn't about trends. It's about agency, self-trust, and preparing yourself for what's next without waiting for anyone's permission.In this episode, we chat about the future of work for moms:Why return-to-office mandates are really about commercial real estate (not productivity)How trust erosion between employees and leadership is reshaping the workplaceThe hidden pattern women notice first: values vs. behavior gaps in company cultureWhy portfolio careers and flexibility aren't side hustles—they're strategic safety netsHow to practice "everyday futurism" and prepare for change before you're forced to reactThe critical difference between your job title and your actual skill setWhy the most valuable work (connection, ERGs, community building) is still unpaid—and mostly done by womenDon't miss this episode if: You're tired of waiting for work to go "back to normal"You're considering building income streams outside traditional employmentYou're a working mom navigating flexibility, caregiving, and career simultaneouslyYou sense something is off at your company but can't quite name itYou want to future-proof your career without burning outQuick key notes from our interview: Stop waiting for work to go back to normal. Design your own normal. If your job disappeared tomorrow, what would you want your work life to look like? Start moving toward that now.Treat flexibility like a strategy, not a request. Audit your role: which parts truly require you to be in a specific place? Use that clarity to negotiate.Build optionality before you need it. One income stream = one point of failure. Choose one low-pressure way to expand your income and skills this year.Practice everyday futurism. Run scenarios: What if my role changed? What if my company downsized? What skills or income streams would help me feel confident?Trust your pattern recognition—it's a leadership skill. When you notice repeating patterns (disengagement, fear, unclear leadership), use that insight to inform your next move.Separate your identity from your job title. You are more than one role, one company, or one chapter. Your transferable skills travel with you.Build self-trust through small repetitions. Make one decision this month that prioritizes your future self, even if it feels uncomfortable.Connect with my guest: Nola Simonnola@nolasimon.comlinkedin.com/in/nolasimonIf you have a question or need advice, DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loved this episode?

    Turn your story into influence: work with me

    I love to start my Sunday mornings with a lie in, morning coffee in hand, piano playlist in the background, candles, reading my book and enjoying the slowness before I start the day. I love doing that on Sundays.

    I just read the following sentence:

    “Criticism of the project is not criticism of you. You do not equal the project.”

    I am reading these lines on page 47 of the book Purple Cow by Seth Godin. I am getting surprisingly emotional. It’s just a small paragraph in a book filled with observations about creative marketing in crowded marketplaces.

    I am reading… “Being safe is risky”.

    In the book he points out, that we have been raised with a false belief: that criticism leads to failure.

    Just think about the school system or the way you grew up in your family.

    A business that is boring, won’t attract much criticism. It will also not stand out and become highly successful. So, by avoiding negative feedback, by staying safe, I am potentially avoiding success?
