Why listen?
Because modern female life is more complicated than the internet admits.
Behind the language of balance and empowerment are harder questions around identity, exhaustion, ambition, money, relationships, visibility and motherhood.
Do Not Disturb explores those tensions honestly.
Conversations with founders, creatives, experts, athletes, psychologists and cultural voices shaping how women think about work, family, identity and success.
About Do Not Disturb and Simona Deifta
Do Not Disturb: The Inside Story is a filmed long-form podcast hosted by Simona Deifta about modern female life beneath public success.
The show explores motherhood, ambition, identity, relationships, work, money, fertility, burnout, emotional resilience and reinvention through thoughtful conversations with founders, authors, experts, psychologists, cultural voices and public figures.
Simona brings a founder and operator lens to conversations about the private reality behind visible achievement: the emotional cost of work, family, reinvention and the systems women are expected to succeed inside.
The show is not about polished success stories. It is about what sits underneath them: invisible labour, private doubt, pressure, power, desire, money, motherhood and the quiet redesign of a life that no longer fits inherited definitions of success.
What the show examines
Motherhood, ambition and invisible labour
How women build, pause, restart and redefine success around bodies, families, care and real support systems.
Identity, power and relationships
The emotional life beneath partnership, separation, confidence, desire, friendship, money and public visibility.
Systems and reinvention
Why so many women are asking whether the structures around work, motherhood and success were designed for them at all.
