About this podcast
🎙 Thriving & Surviving — the unfiltered podcast for women doing it all.
Hosted by Grace and Ella, two single mums, business owners, and professional multitaskers, this is where real talk meets chaos. From juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship to keeping the social life alive, staying fit, and refusing to lose the “party girl” spark — nothing’s off limits.
Expect honesty, humour, and a reminder that you can be thriving and surviving — even when you’re running on coffee, dry shampoo, and ambition.
