In the last blog post, we looked at how you could reflect on the last year. If you haven’t followed the step-by-step guide in that, then I would suggest you do that first before reading this blog post. The reason why reflection is so important is because it helps guide you in setting your goals for the following year.

You may have been surprised by some of the scores you gave to areas of your life. Without doing that work, you may not have recognised the areas which need more attention and focus to get you closer to your ideal next year. Take a moment now to review those scores and...

How has this year gone for you? Did it go too quickly for you, or does it seem to have dragged? Does it feel like a successful one or were you constantly battling obstacles? Either way you probably haven’t realised quite how much you have accomplished as a mumpreneur, a mother, a partner, a friend, an individual. I can guarantee it is more than you think.

Reflecting on your year gives you the opportunity to acknowledge those achievements and to learn from things that haven’t gone so well. In this guide, we take you through it, step-by-step.

What Have Been The Highs And Lows?

...

How confident are you in yourself and your abilities? Do you believe that you can have the life you want and achieve whatever you want?

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could free yourself from expectations and start living in a way that is more authentic so you could build your self-esteem and confidence. In this post, I want to share with you a few ways in which you can start building your confidence, so you realise just how limitless you are.

Keep Doing It

It sounds simple and might not feel that way at first. However, when you first start doing something new or doing it...

If you read our newsletter at the beginning of this month, you will know that in order to develop your self-esteem and self-assurance, you need to break free from the opinions and expectations of others and instead live in a way that is authentic to you. Knowing what is and isn’t right for you and your family, however, is not always easy to determine. This blog post will help you to start that journey with five easy steps.

1. Recognise Your Uniqueness

There is little point in comparing yourself to others or living by their rules and expectations when you and your family are unique....

The last blog post looked at ways in which you can discover who you really are. But what’s next? How can it help you to achieve inner peace and the life you desire? As ever, you need to take action. Knowledge is of no use unless it’s implemented. Once you understand who you are, it’s time to start celebrating your unique and authentic self. The best way to do this is by living as that person rather than the character you were trying to be. Here are 3 ways on which you can start doing that.

1. Check In With Your Values

Recognising your values are an important step to...

It’s obvious that if we go through life trying to be someone we’re not, we’re never going to find true happiness. If you want to find the path to inner peace, you must identify who you really are and live your life in harmony with that. Otherwise, you’re simply living a lie.

But as mums and mumpreneurs, “who you are” can get a little lost. There’s always that dreaded moment when someone dares to ask you about yourself or what hobbies you have, and you can’t see beyond the mum duties that consume all your waking hours and some of those that you...

You’ve decided on the life you want to create. You’ve even started making progress. But then life gets in the way. Many mums and mumpreneurs can struggle staying on track with what they truly want. You might lose your inner drive, your determination or find that your commitment waivers. It may all start to feel like an impossible, unachievable dream.

Once you’ve found where to start it can be difficult to keep going, there are so many distractions in life - family, friends, the latest boxset, a new shiny idea. They are all there to tempt and challenge us. The hardest thing...

You’ve figured out what it is you want and how you want your life to look but what do you do next? How do you start creating it? It can seem a long way off if your vision is very different to how things are now, but it all starts with the first step.

Start With The Small Things

One of the easiest ways to start creating the life you want is to begin with the small changes. You could focus on those that will make an instant difference to how you feel day-to-day. For example, if you’ve decided that you would like to improve your health and fitness, then you can start by simply...

In last month’s blog post, we looked at understanding your fears a little better. Now it’s time to discover ways of coping with fear and how to push past it in a safe environment.

As we learned, fear is a primal instinct to keep us safe, it is not meant to stop us from moving forward in life. The pressures of modern life and social media have exacerbated fears that normally live on a much lower fear level. Learning to differentiate between the fears that are keeping us safe and those that are holding us back, can take time. Here are some of our favourite ways to start...

To reach your full potential you need to overcome the fears that are holding you back and this is easiest when you understand what they are, where they come from and why. What are your biggest fears, as a woman, a partner, a mother, a businesswoman, a daughter, a sister, a friend? There are fears that go with each of the roles we play in our lives. But why? What purpose do they serve?

We aren’t the only species that suffers with fear; every living animal does. The fight, flight, freeze response is rich within all of us. Even plants and trees send signals to each other under the soil...
