With Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy Nutton | Soul to Self® Podcastathon 2026

When did taking a little time for ourselves become something we feel guilty about?

For so many women, particularly mums, looking after everyone else can become second nature. We juggle the family, the work, the responsibilities and all those little things that somehow become ours to manage.

And somewhere along the way, our own needs find their way to the bottom of the list.

In this special Podcastathon conversation, I'm joined by Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy, the women behind Worthy Of, to explore mum guilt, burnout and the importance of remembering that we matter too.

All three women share their experiences of putting others first, reaching burnout and discovering that self-care doesn't have to mean expensive spa days or hours of uninterrupted time.

Sometimes it's ten minutes in the garden with a coffee, a walk without your phone, or simply allowing yourself to say, "I need a moment."

We also explore the importance of showing our children that their feelings and boundaries matter, the confidence that can grow from small acts of self-care, and how the women have built a supportive community around their business.

It's a warm, honest conversation about making room for ourselves in the middle of real life, even when we don't always get it right.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • Why mum guilt can make self-care feel selfish.
  • The experience of burnout and constantly putting other people first.
  • How our sense of worth can become tied to being needed and helpful.
  • The difference between expensive, occasional treats and everyday self-care.
  • Why small moments of care can have a meaningful impact.
  • Learning to say no and communicate our needs without guilt.
  • Modelling healthy boundaries and emotional honesty for our children.
  • Building confidence through community, encouragement and small personal achievements.

Meet the Worthy Of ladies

Worthy Of is a business created by Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy Nutton, three women who believe everyone deserves to feel worthy of care, attention and a little time for themselves.

Their range of easy-to-apply nail wraps is designed to make a simple manicure accessible at home, without needing hours of spare time or an expensive salon appointment.

But for these three women, Worthy Of is about more than nails.

Through their products, small self-care gifts and supportive customer community, they hope to encourage women to make a little more room for themselves in everyday life.
