Selma Nicholls: Motherhood, Representation & Building Looks Like Me
When Selma Nicholls’ daughter Riley-Ann asked, “Why doesn’t anyone look like me?”, it sparked an idea that would grow into Looks Like Me — an award-winning casting agency and movement championing authentic representation across advertising, television and film. In this episode of Milk & Mummies, Raychel sits down with Selma to talk about the motherhood story behind the mission. They explore representation and belonging, building a purpose-led business, creativity, ambition, burnout and why creating meaningful change and making money don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Selma also reflects on how motherhood has changed her definition of success, the responsibility that comes with creating change through content, and what she hopes her daughter will ultimately take from the life and legacy she is building. An honest conversation about being seen, building something bigger than yourself and what can happen when a mother truly listens to her child. Learn more about your ad choices.

Can You Have It All? Motherhood, Ambition & Success with Sedge Beswick
Can women really have it all — and should we even be asking that question? This week, Raychel is joined by entrepreneur, strategist, investor, mentor and mum of two Sedge Beswick. After becoming ASOS’ first social media hire, Sedge went on to found and scale influencer marketing agency SEEN Connects to a reported £24 million valuation. She’s since become an advisor, investor, speaker and mentor to founders and brands — all while navigating motherhood and raising two daughters. In this warm, funny and candid conversation, Sedge and Raychel talk about what happens to ambition after motherhood, the realities of building a successful business, mum guilt, burnout, boundaries and whether “having it all” is actually possible. They explore the pressure ambitious women put on themselves, how motherhood can change the way we lead, knowing when it’s time to walk away from something you’ve built, and why becoming a mum doesn’t mean becoming less ambitious. Plus, Sedge shares practical advice for women who have a big idea — but haven’t quite given themselves permission to start. In this episode: Motherhood and ambition Building and scaling a multimillion-pound business Sedge’s journey from ASOS to entrepreneurship Mum guilt and work-life balance Burnout and boundaries Female leadership Redefining success after children Advice for ambitious mums and female founders A conversation for every woman who’s ever wondered: Can I be a brilliant mum and still want something that’s mine?
