introducing Francesca Hodgson, Professional and Personal Coach and Business Mentor at www.weareambition.ventures 

francesca is a mobster and mum to Oliver (age 11) and Harry (7). Oliver is a gamer and has SEN needs with Autism and ADHD, Harry is the complete opposite and is sports mad, a keen footballer and tennis player. 

AS a mum who has co-founded a successful tech business (whilst on maternity-leave) and had careers in big, fast-paced companies, francesca really understands the juggle that comes with trying to build the life and future we personally want, as well as being that ‘great’ mum we all strive to be for our children. it’s not easy.

Francesca is on the same Building journey as us all and so we are delighted that she will be guest-blogging for the mob each month, sharing her wealth of insights, experience, tips and advice to introduce mobsters to the concept of coaching and how to cultivate mental clarity, as well as how to start building your own business venture.

With each post, she’ll also recommend something worth reading, listening to, or watching that aligns with these themes, or that she has found inspiring.

From francesca:


”my mission is To help millions of people to create clarity of mind”

My top failure: Hiding my 2nd pregnancy from investors and not taking maternity leave.

What I am most proud of other than my kids: My scholarship to Cambridge University to complete a Masters in Business Administration.

free life coaching TIPS & GUIDANCE

BY Mob member, LIFE COACH & BUSINESS BUILDER, STACEY DOW

For me, financial security means freedom. Freedom from the worry which comes from a lack of money and freedom to choose the life I want to create for myself and my family, now and in the future
— Stacey Dow
From December 2023 to February 2024, our Instagram social posts were taken over by @staceydow, the mobster in our community who is building her Life Coaching business.

Stacey has been sharing her insights, tips and tricks, to support you mobsters out there with the change you want to make.
The Takeover may be over, but don't worry, we have collated Stacey’s insights below. All content by Stacey is free for you to absorb, and the aim is to give you a taster of how coaching can help you move forward from where you are now, to where you want to be.
If 1-1 coaching is of interest, Stacey offers a free discovery call. Click the button below to find out how Stacey can help you.
By investing in you mum, you are taking steps to creating an even more amazing future for you, and your family. And with The MOB by your side, a future you can feel more financially secure in.

why coaching?

  1. Take more, better and smarter actions. You set the goals you really want
  2. Have a balanced life which works well because you designed it
  3. Make and keep more money. You are worth more than you’re making 
  4. Reach for more, much more, and not be consumed by the process
  5. Make better decisions for yourself, and your business or career because your focus is clear
  6. Have a lot more sustainable energy, no more just chugging along
Sound good? Listen to this episode by Life Coach Stacey Dow to find out more.

what’s your passion & purpose, mum?

Reflect on your current life situation and ask yourself these questions: 
  1. Is this really what I want to be doing?
  2. Does it fit with my new outlook on life?
  3. Is it really what I want?
If your answers to these questions are that you’re not sure, or no, don’t worry, you’re not alone. 
Listen to this episode for top tips by Life Coach Stacey Dow.

In the context of building financial security, mum, this can be a tricky subject because the need and pressure to have a regular income, will often trump and block us from embracing our true values and passion. At the end of the day, paying the bills is a non-negotiable, right? This is when having a Life Coach supporting you through difficult dilemmas and big decisions like this, really is invaluable. 

build a bigger future

If you're looking for inspiration, but maybe are not quite ready to financially invest in a 1-1 Life Coach, another great place to start, is a workbook created by The MOB called Build A Bigger Future, you can find out more here. The aim is to help you get unstuck and discover what your bigger future can look like. 
By the end of this workbook, you should have zoned in on what you want to do and this is where you can use your MOB community to work out the next steps. A great place to start is the weekly hangouts, or if you're not local, drop us an email. 
Alternatively, if at this point you want to dig even deeper into your work, why not get in touch with Life Coach Stacey. Stacey offers a free discovery call. Click here to see how 1-1 Life Coaching with Stacey Dow can help you take next steps.

love your job, but not your boss?

It’s easy to say, but no one should be miserable at work. And loving your job, but not your boss is actually more common than you think. 
But this can put us in a difficult position when we think about building financial security. Do you stay because it pays the bills, and financially you're okay? Or leave and put your financial security *potentially* at risk? 
Wait, before you throw in the towel or go into dilemma meltdown, watch this video by Life Coach Stacey Dow for some really great steps that you can take to try and make your situation better.

have you had your disc profile done yet?

If you haven’t, this is also worth checking out. DISC is a behavioural insights tool that shows you your natural strengths, and gives you insights into the type of work you excel at. DISC also shows you how to work with anyone (yes, even that really annoying Jo at work) to create amazing relationships and results. Click here to find out more.

how to go for the stuff you want most.

Do these statements resonate?
  1. I really want to start something new / go for a promotion, but I can’t do that until I have this…
  2. I need to do it this way, or it’s just not possible
  3. If I can’t make it a huge success then it means I am going to be a huge failure
This all or nothing thinking can really hold you back, Especially when considering financial security and the pull many of us experience between earning a salary and family commitments.
If the above resonates with you, you’re not alone. Listen to this episode by Life Coach Stacey Dow for her top tips to move forward and go for the stuff you really want.

thinking about starting something new?

In this episode, Life Coach Stacey Dow shares 4 steps that you can take now, to help you build a new chapter. And in turn, form part of the crucial building blocks to support your journey to feeling financially secure.

get clarity on your future mum:

Whether you want to create a buzzin' social and family life, a strong sense of health and wellness for yourself; or a powerful and successful business, if you’re looking for more support on goal setting, this could be just the tool you need. 

“THERE’S JUST NO TIME…”

Hands up if you feel like there's just not enough hours in the day. 
We can tell you mum, you are not alone in feeling this way. In fact, this is one of the top reasons people give as to why they're not going after what they want. And the knock-on effect is huge. Reaching your goal, whether that's financial security or something else, will feel unachievable and if something seems unachievable, our motivation, inevitably, drops. And we don't want that.
So if this reason resonates, give this episode a listen. Life Coach Stacey's advice may surprise you...

are there things in your day-to-day life that p*ss you off mum?

How about, a cluttered wardrobe? Messy work surfaces? An overwhelming inbox? Several to-do lists? Maybe not eating as healthy as you’d like, or wearing clothes you don’t feel good in? 
If any of this resonates, then you need to listen to this episode with Life Coach Stacey Dow. Because when we stop tolerating these annoyances in our day to day, we free up time and headspace to really focus on the important things, like building financial security, and dedicating time to the things we enjoy doing most. Stacey tells us how…

want to feel less stress, less anxious and less overwhelm?

If the answer to this is yes, then you need to build your reserves, because building reserves has a direct impact on your resilience. And when you're on the wild journey of motherhood, building amazing things for you and your family's future, resilience is a key survival tool.  And that’s exactly what Life Coach Stacey Dow talks about in this episode. 

how to make good decisions mum.

Life is full of decisions, and the decisions we make, directly impacts the quality of our life and the results we get. 
In this episode, Life Coach Stacey Dow talks about how our emotional state is really important in order to make good decisions. Have a listen to hear Stacey’s tips on this.

HOW TO MAKE FEELING LIKE A FAILURE FEEL GOOD.

Failure is not failure
It’s time to want to fail
It’s time to try to fail
It’s time to intelligently fail

Stacey Dow share’s how to do it so you can have a fantastic chapter ahead

“COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY”

“Comparison is the thief of joy…so make sure you make yours safe” Theodore Roosevelt

In this episode, Stacey Dow shares the 'how to' for joy protection.

PS The MOB have got you covered with the last tip - we are a tribe ready to lift you up! 

Why do we talk about comparison when building financial security? If your mind is clouded with unhelpful thoughts, you can’t focus on the stuff that matters for your future. Focusing on your strengths, priorities and opportunities to build, needs your focus.

Thinking about what others do and don’t do, get’s you nowhere good.

You focus on you Mum, and there’s going to be great stuff ahead.
