We are living in difficult times. In fact, there seems to have been a catalogue of events in recent years which can feel unending, from the pandemic to war in Europe. While it’s inevitable that we will live through times which are tough, your mindset can make all the difference in how you will cope. In fact, it can not only ensure you survive but continue to thrive, whatever chaos might happen around you.

Have you ever felt dissatisfied with your life? Perhaps you’ve even felt this despite apparently having what you thought you wanted?

This is not about making every day magical – that would be unrealistic....

How can you help others to feel more confident? In the past, we’ve talked a lot about how we can develop our own self-esteem and confidence. However, for many mums and mumpreneurs, it’s equally important to them they encourage confidence in those around them, especially their children. This can feel difficult to do if you lack confidence in yourself. However, we’re sharing five ways in which you can get started.

Thankfully, there are a few easy ways in which you can exude that confidence, even if you’re not really feeling it yet.
