Three Non-Negotiable Foundations for Combining Motherhood and Business Successfully with Milo Meldrum

What if hitting rock bottom was actually the beginning of everything? It’s often in these moments that we learn our greatest lessons.

For my guest, Milo Meldrum, she used it to build a thriving business that honors her season of life, even while she was sharing a one-bedroom flat , whose lounge she birthed her baby in!

In this episode, I sat down with the grounded and glowing Milo, a creative entrepreneur and mama of two, who turned her lowest moment into the launchpad for her now-thriving tallow skincare business.

Milo first started making her own tallow whip four years ago, to help with stretch marks from her first pregnancy, and then as a nappy rash cream for her son. When she couldn’t find anyone selling it in New Zealand, she saw the gap in the market and decided to start her own business.

If you’ve ever felt torn between building your dreams and being present for your babies, Milo brings the kind of quiet wisdom that will show you it’s possible to do both beautifully and on your own terms.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The exact moment Milo declared “this is my rock bottom” and decided to take action
  • Her three non-negotiable foundations for combining motherhood and business successfully
  • Why she locks herself out of social media when parenting (and how it transformed her presence)
  • The daily structure that lets her run a thriving business in just 3 hours a day
  • How giving up the blame game became her secret weapon for taking control of her life

Key Takeaways from the LifePilot podcast:

Rock bottom is a choice, not a circumstance. You get to decide when you’ve had enough and take action.

Foundation first, business second. You can’t build anything meaningful if you’re depleted and disorganized.

Boundaries create presence. Being fully here for your family means being fully focused on your work.

Discipline equals freedom. Structure and systems give you the space to show up authentically.

Three hours of focused work beats scattered effort. Quality over quantity when you’re parenting and creating.
