This is my story… 💭
I was on maternity leave, sitting in my comfy clothes with my baby in my arms, when I opened an email from my boss.
❌ Hybrid working was not allowed.
So I decided to build my own business as a VA + Social Media Manager.
At first, the clients rolled in… but so did the exhaustion. I was replying past midnight and felt like giving up.
Things changed when I invested in myself and learnt how to set boundaries.
Not long after, I stood on stage in a long black dress, holding a trophy as Mumpreneur of the Year at the Kent Women in Business Awards.
Then came a twin pregnancy, a scary one.
I found myself juggling NICU visits, work, and being a mum to my two girls at home. Eventually, the twins came home, but I was drowning in the chaos of childcare, therapies, and exhaustion.
I broke.
One twin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and needed constant therapy, the other had a feeding tube, and my eldest was being bullied at school.
We moved homes. We moved schools. And slowly, everyone became happier.
Today, I’m still a business owner, but now I’m thriving. I’ve won more awards, worked with incredible clients, been on retreats, treated my family, and even launched my own podcast.
✨ The lesson? You can bend, you can break, but you can also rebuild.
