Mums Figuring It Out
Mums Figuring It Out is a podcast built on honest, heartfelt conversations about motherhood, identity, growth and the realities of life in between.
Hosted by Jo Alexis and Dr Roxanne M St Clair, the podcast creates space for the conversations many women are already having privately balancing family, careers, relationships, wellbeing, purpose, leadership, change and rediscovering who you are as life evolves.
With warmth, humour, vulnerability and real life reflections, Mums Figuring It Out reminds women that they do not need to have everything perfectly together to keep growing.
Because the truth is… we are all still figuring it out.

Do What You Have to Do: A Lesson in Being Resourceful
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it really mean to be resourceful, not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday life, parenting, and reinvention?
In this heartfelt and deeply human conversation, Roxanne and Jo are joined by Ulvi, a former diplomat, community builder, mother of twins, and passionate advocate for learning, service, and resilience. Ulvi shares her remarkable journey from diplomacy to community leadership, exploring how curiosity, stamina, and a willingness to “do what you have to do” can open doors, even when life looks uncertain.
Together, they reflect on parenting across cultures, the power of community, the transformative impact of parenting courses, and what it truly means to keep going one step at a time. From fundraising for schools to redefining career paths later in life, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical insight.
A powerful reminder that resourcefulness isn’t about having endless energy, it’s about using what you have, giving in small drops, and staying connected to humanity, purpose, and self-belief.
