Money Making Mothers

I think of all the jobs I have, my career and businesses - the most rewarding and amazing job anyone can do and accomplish is being a good parent and embracing every little minute of it.  My children give me complete purpose every morning they challenge me to want the most out of life; after all what better way to teach my kids work ethic and strive than showing them day in and day out.  At times my life can be very stressful, emotional and challenging but when those days come I take a minute to pinch myself and remember how lucky I am.  Some people would dream about my health, my job and my home and the love I’m surrounded with daily. So when I’m feeling sorry for my self I just stop and try to remember all the things I’m grateful for...

I never thought I’d be a single mum, I don’t suppose most people do. 

But when the reality kicked in that I would be raising my daughter completely alone financially, practically and emotionally I didn’t have time to think about how hard it would be. I just had to get on with it.

 I needed to keep a roof over our heads and put food on the table and so that’s what I’ve done for the last 14 years. There’s been hilarious times and Incredibly sad times and many mistakes made!

 But I’ve learned from every single one and used it to make be stronger and more resilient. All without losing my immature sense of humour! This is a peek into how I see life as a working mum and what I’ve learned so far...

Our 2019 was incredible...our wedding day, honeymoon, a successful round of IVF and smashing our second year in business which we had built from nothing. 

Our 2020 however (like most people’s) was a different story. 

Find out how we dealt with lockdown, having our first baby in the peak of a global pandemic and shutting our business down indefinitely. It’s been a bumpy ride, but hopefully, we’re out the other side...

Where to start? Well, I’m a proud mum to 3 beautiful boys, Dax, Leo and Oska.

In 2015, my twin boys Oska and Leo were born extremely prematurely. Leo, my first twin sadly died in my arms at just 4 hours old after a brave fight in the neonatal unit. His arrival saved my life, and the life of his twin brother Oska. 

Oska went on to spend 109 days in the neonatal unit, and as if that wasn’t enough, he really loved the hospital, he was admitted multiple times for life-saving treatment.

We all suffered, our mental health and our little family unit were shattered. Over the years we’ve managed to pull ourselves back together and Leo’s was set up. Since we launched the charity I’ve met the most amazing people, who have become the biggest extended family. Despite all the heartache of losing my son, I believe he’s sent me the most beautiful people to support me.

Gracie turns to me with a mouthful of coco pops, mum remember when you were miserable in that job and you didn’t have time to have breakfast with us?

That hits me hard, never will I take for granted something as little as sitting on school morning chatting to my kids whilst they eat their breakfast before I get to take them to school. I love that I’m there to walk them in on a morning and the first face they see in the playground when they leave.

Something so little which is denied a privilege to many and I can now count as one of my daily blessings.

In the very first episode I am joined by Heidi Loughlin, where she shares some insight into being a Money Making Mother.  Here is a little bit about this incredible woman...

Cancer isn’t a laughing matter.... but what if it could be? Diagnosed with incurable cancer and declining treatment to save my baby at the age of 32 was epically shite. But those were the cards I was dealt. That was in 2015 and I haven’t died yet. And as crap as it is, in some ways, cancer has given me a new lease of life and a load to laugh about. Who else spends 5 minutes every morning searching for their fake tit under the sofa? What have I learned from my experiences so far and how do I keep cracking on with the odds hugely stacked against me? Let me tell you....
