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 havenât 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 havenât 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 diff...
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 isnât 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. You have ...
The last blog post looked at ways in which you can discover who you really are. But whatâs 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 itâs implemented. Once you understand who you are, itâs 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 discovering more about t...
Itâs obvious that if we go through life trying to be someone weâre not, weâre 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, youâre simply living a lie.
But as mums and mumpreneurs, âwho you areâ can get a little lost. Thereâs always that dreaded moment when someone dares to ask you about yourself or what hobbies you have, and you canât see beyond the mum duties that consume all your waking hours and some of those that you sleep too!
It can leave you with a feeling of sa...
Youâve decided on the life you want to create. Youâve 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 youâve 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 to do is keeping fo...
Youâve 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 youâve decided that you would like to improve your health and fitness, then you can start by simply swapping a coupl...
In last monthâs blog post, we looked at understanding your fears a little better. Now itâs 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 overcoming those fears....
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 arenât 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 to warn o...
âMum guiltâ effects every mother, whether youâre pregnant or your child is 40, you never stop worrying about if you made the right choices or if theyâre making the right choices. But just because itâs normally a part of motherhood, doesnât mean you should allow it to consume you or take over your thoughts. Letting that guilt rule your life is not healthy so letâs look at some ways you can combat it.
Ask Yourself Why You Do Something
There are reasons for the decisions and choices you make. For example, if your guilt stems from going to work, remind yourself why you do it and what benefits i...
