Emily Osmond uses this episode to share a personal business decision: she's taking maternity leave from her weekly podcast to prioritize family time during the first year of her second son's life. Having found the weekly production schedule - coordinating recording around feeds, naps, and finding creative energy - particularly challenging during her first son Lando's infancy, she's giving herself permission to pause the show this time around. While the podcast will go on hiatus with no set return date, Osmond emphasizes she'll remain active in her business through other channels: her online courses and resources at emilyosmond.com, Instagram engagement at @emilyosmond, and speaking and hosting at various events. This episode serves as a candid reminder to her audience that sustainable business ownership includes making choices that align with life circumstances - a theme consistent with her show's focus on building a business "on your terms."
No, she's continuing to run her business and support solopreneurs through online courses and resources at emilyosmond.com, plus Instagram and speaking engagements - she's only pausing the weekly podcast.
Emily hasn't decided on an exact return date but is planning to take a break for approximately 6-12 months of her new baby's life.
Finding the time and creative energy to produce weekly longer-form content while coordinating around feeding schedules, naps, and household quietness was most stressful.
Her online courses and resources are available at emilyosmond.com, with free resources accessible at emilyosmond.com/free.
Our reviewer’s read on each dimension, with quotes from the episode.
This episode contains zero actionable insights for B2B operators - it is a 3-minute personal announcement about a maternity leave hiatus with no tactical, strategic, or educational content whatsoever.
I have a little update for me about the podcast, and the title of this episode should give it away.
There is no original thinking present; the episode is a brief personal update and sign-off, ending with a recycled catchphrase rather than any argument or idea.
connection over perfection, my friend, you have got this and we'll speak soon.
There is no guest - this is a solo host monologue announcing a podcast break, with no practitioner expertise or operator experience demonstrated in the content.
Well, hey there, and welcome back to the show. I have a little update for me about the podcast
The only concrete details are personal logistical ones (baby due mid-to-late July, firstborn is 22 months old); there are no business metrics, named examples, frameworks, or data of any kind.
He's due mid to late July
I'm intending to take the first six to 12 months or so of baby to be his life a little slower with work than I did with our firstborn
This is a brief solo monologue with no interview, no questions, no follow-ups, and no substantive dialogue - the format precludes any conversational craft entirely.
for now, it's a see you later to the podcast.
Computed from the transcript - who did the talking, and the words that came up most.
A little update from me about the podcast! I’m expecting our second baby boy in just a couple of weeks time, at the time of recording this podcast (he is due mid to late July), and I’ve decided this time round to take a break from the podcast. I’m intending to take the first six to 12 months of baby-to-be’s life a little slower with work than I did with our first-born son (who is now almost 22 months old). One of the tasks that felt most stressful and hardest during that first year of my first-born son’s life was finding both the time and creativity to produce weekly longer form content - which is this podcast. So this time round, I’m giving myself permission to take a break from the podcast! I haven’t decided when I will start it back up with new episodes, but of course, you’ll be the first to know. I’ll still be supporting solopreneurs and small business owners via my online course and resources, which you can explore at emilyosmond.com/programs and I’ll be staying active on my Instagram at @emilyosmond, along with continuing to speak at and host events.

I have a little update for me about the podcast, and the title of this episode should give it away. I'm expecting our second baby boy in just a couple of weeks' time at the time that I'm recording this. He's due mid to late July, and I've decided this time around to take a break from the podcast. I'm intending to take the first six to 12 months or so of baby to be his life a little slower with work than I did with our firstborn, who's now almost 22 months old.
And, oh, he's so fun. One of the tasks that felt most stressful for me and just the hardest during that first year of my firstborn son's life, Lando, was finding the time and also really the creativity to produce this weekly longer form type of content that is the podcast from mapping out the episodes finding a time that coordinated between feeds and naps and a time when the house was quiet And really like I said that fresh burst of creativity and fresh ideas. So this time around, I'm giving myself permission to take a break, to take a break from the podcast.
And I haven't decided when I will start it back up with new episodes, but of course, you will be the first to know. I'll still be running my business and supporting solopreneurs for business owners via my online courses and resources, which you can explore at emilyosmond.com for such programs.
