December 10, 2017 MWH 113 : 4 Lessons Learned From a Bizmum Breakdown with Jade Warne of Hipster Mum
4 Lessons Learned From a Bizmum Breakdown

We cover a lot of topics on the MWH Podcast - from social media tips to productivity hacks to branding and design advice and kick-ass business strategies. However, there is an aspect of being a bizmum that we don't normally talk about... how it's hard as hell on our mental, physical, and emotional health.

There are always a lot of ups during your biz journey that are celebrated, but there are also some downs that are hidden away and never discussed. Today's episode is going smash the stigma surrounding breakdowns, shed some light on the struggles of being a bizmum and how it's not always perfectly curated photos, smiles, and wins.
THIS WEEK'S PODCAST
Our conversation this week is going to be a bit a different... we're going to talk about the down and dirty of being a mum in 2017. Today, we're lifting the veil on a journey of self discovery. So grab a cuppa if you're able to because today's chat is going to get real deep.

Jade Warne is constantly inspired by all that is around her. As a photographer, videographer, writer, and mum of two, Jade started her biz Hipster Mum, to tell the stories of every day mums by showcasing the work they do in the world and at home.

Today, we're going to get personal and vulnerable with Jade as she discusses her massive breakdown and how she overcame this emotional hurdle to rise into the powerful bizmum she is today.

If you've ever struggled with parenting and running your biz, this episode is for you. Welcome to the virtual couch, Jade!

Why you need to rewrite your story starting now

THE LOW DOWN ON WHAT WE CHATTED ABOUT

Jade's journey from start to where she is now
Where Jade's revenue comes from as a mummy blogger and photographer
The nitty gritty of Jade's nervous breakdown (where she was, what happened)
From breakdown to breakthrough - what was Jade's wakeup call?
The negative impact of never having a sense of self worth
How to unpack self limiting beliefs (lose the mum guilt - self care isn't selfish)
Ways to rise from your lowest point
4 specific core areas of healing to help overcome emotional hurdles (comparison, listen, action, support)

December 03, 2017 MWH 112 : Mums Making A Difference: Behind The Scenes of A Non-Profit Start Up with Samantha Payne of The Pink Elephant Support Network
Mums Making A Difference: Behind The Scenes of a Non-Profit Start Up

Founding a successful non-profit organisation is tough work! You are driven by passion and are determined to grow something that benefits your community and helps those in need; however, growing and sustaining your non-profit organisation may take years of effort.

Unless you have founded an organisation that will benefit a large amount of people and there's nothing out there like it...

Did you know that one in four pregnancies result in loss? On top of that tragedy, most women are shamed into silence and forced into deep sadness by a lack of support and trusted information.

Today's guest is going to share the story of how her unique non-profit has received a massive amount of success within the last 18 months of being founded. You're going to love this episode because we're featuring a woman on a mission who is fuelled by absolute heart!
THIS WEEK'S PODCAST
This is a special episode because we are featuring our first ever non-profit organisation!

Founded by three brave women Samantha Payne, Rachel Haywood, and Gabbi Armstrong, the Pink Elephants Support Network is a non-profit organisation that provides support to mums who are going through a tough time after experiencing miscarriage, pregnancy loss and infertility.

Today's guest is, Samantha Payne, one of the co-founders!

Sam is a mum to a little girl, Georgie, and a rainbow baby, Johnny. She is an expat from the UK, and has lived in Sydney for the last eight years. When trying for her second child, Sam experienced 2 miscarriages and was shocked at the secrecy and isolation that came with it. She decided to share her journey and join forces with the other founders of the Pink Elephants to create something meaningful and beautiful that also inspires and changes how society perceives miscarriage and how to support women through it.

She is a force, and I felt like this is a very important conversation to have for many bizmums who have similar experiences. Welcome to the virtual couch, Sam!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Why Sam and her co-founders started their non-profit organisation (and not biz)
What is aftercare and why is it important
How The Pink Elephants Support Network connects women with other women
Ways to use social media to create a safe space for your audience
How to crush the negative stigma surrounding pregnancy loss
What tools they use to keep their non-profit running smoothly
Why you must be willing to go the extra mile in your non-profit organisation
Key advice for mums in biz who are experiencing loss
Tips for mums wanting to start a non-profit of their own

KEY TAKEAWAY
I really want to use the MWH platform to cast a light onto The Pink Elephants Support Network and what they are doing!
If you are experiencing the heartbreak of miscarriage, please seek out support from The Pink Elephants. If someone you know is experiencing loss do your best to support them during this isolating time. You can also visit The Pink Elephants Support Network's website for a variety of free resources.

November 26, 2017 MWH 111 : How To Strike Your Perfect Balance with Rachel Allan of When Business Meets Baby
How To Strike Your Perfect Balance

When you're a WAHM (work at home mum) it can be hella hard to find that elusive balance between entrepreneurship and motherhood. Trust me, I know. Sometimes, it's easier to believe that there's no such thing as balance for the modern mum and to just do your own thing.

Are you always looking for time saving tips, hacks, and shortcuts to give you the tiniest sliver of time back to spend with your family or practise self care?

Finding ways to strike YOUR perfect balance ('cause what works for me, won't necessarily work for you) is essential. It's so important to never give up and always work towards building a wholly healthy empire in ALL aspects of your life.

As always I've got you covered, mama! Learn how to find that elusive balance between entrepreneurship and motherhood in today's episode.

Grab your pen and paper, mama, you'll definitely want to take some notes.

Rachel Allan is a mum to an energetic little girl, an author, integrated marketer, entrepreneur and property investor, who has recreated herself to achieve a balance in watching a little person grow while developing a business and managing domestic duties. Rachel has been a business owner for 12 years and a mum for 5 1/2 years. She has learned a lot about life, business, and herself on her journey. To empower mums in business and help them manage biz guilt and the day-to-day things at home, she wrote her book, When Business Meets Baby.

Designing A Killer Website: What You Need To Know

As a startup, it's imperative that you launch your biz with a great brand identity and solid marketing strategy.

I know that when starting your own business without a slush fund, you'll find it cheaper (not always easier) to do everything yourself. From designing your website and brand essentials to figuring out a killer content marketing strategy, it can get a little overwhelming.

That's why I launched on Instagram before I even had a website... it was a free platform, and I knew my target audience was there. In retrospect, it would have been great to have a landing page or website already set up to grow my email list from the get-go. Now? I'm super lucky that I have Mr. Hustle to help behind-the-scenes with any and all tech stuff. #MyHubbyRules

Today, we're going to talk about how to create a killer website quickly and easily (even if you don't have the funds to outsource just yet!).
