To the mum who’s cooking/cleaning/taking care of her child/children or doing the washing,
I'm the mum who turns up 10-15 mins late to work and just makes it through the door to business networking meetups.
I actually turned up to a network meetup one time missing one earring, while dealing with my darling crying toddler beforehand too.
I'm not a motivational speaker. I'm not polished. I've never been someone who loved putting herself out there.
But I joined BNI Franklin in February 2026. I show up each week. Sometimes I don't know how I get there. Some days it’s just a miracle. But I show up anyway.
Here's what I've learned: You don't have to be perfect to start. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up—messy, late, imperfect, and all.
Being a mum is the rawest, most unfiltered form of being human. And if you're trying to do more.. start a business, build yourself, push past your comfort zone—while raising kids, just know that you're not going mad. You're just someone who decided that growth was worth the chaos. The proof is in the outcome. I can definitely tell you about it for sure, with a brave smile.
If you're a mum feeling like you're barely holding it together but still want more for yourself, I see you. I am you.
Let's grab coffee. I'd love to hear your story and where you're at. Because you don't need someone who has it all figured out. You need someone who’s lived what you’re going through too.
Bring your kids. Honestly..totally fine by me.
P.S. Shout out to Linda Dixon from LD Recruits, for the BNI Notable Network Award (& fudge!) this week, thank you so much for being an inspiration and support system to me 💛
