I'm Fine (but...)

Rose Gibson - BabyBeats

I’M FINE (But…) is the podcast for women who look like they’ve got it all together but secretly feel like something’s missing.

Hosted by Rose Gibson, founder of BabyBeats, women in business mentor and Amazon bestselling author of I’m Fine, The Truth About Becoming A Mum (That No One Warns You), this is where real conversations happen about ambition, identity, motherhood, business, freedom and the pressure to “be fine” while carrying everything.

This is a podcast for mums who are working, female entrepreneurs and ambitious women across the UK who are building businesses, rebuilding themselves and navigating motherhood alongside career growth.

If you’re balancing mum life and business, questioning your next move, craving more flexibility or wondering how to build a business around your family without losing yourself, you’re in the right place.

We talk about:

• Women in business UK and the reality behind the highlight reel
• Motherhood and career identity shifts
• Female founders and building a business without burnout
• Personal development for women who want more
• Mindset, boundaries and redefining success
• Women’s mental health and the invisible load
• Career change for mums who refuse to settle

Expect:

Honest, unfiltered conversations
Founder stories without hustle culture pressure
Permission to want more without apology
Laughter, truth bombs and the occasional “oh thank God it’s not just me” moment!

No fluff.
No perfection.
No pretending.

Just real women, real stories and honest conversations about building businesses, balancing family life and becoming the version of you that doesn’t have to shrink.

If you’ve ever thought,
“I’m fine… but I want more,” this podcast is for you.
