Mums With Hustle Podcast

Listen on iTunes

So, as we all know the foray into the world of business can be overwhelming. Being a solopreneur can be daunting with so much to do and learn ESPECIALLY when you have little ones to take care of. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a one stop shop where you could learn about business, marketing, strategy and more that was JUST FOR MUMS?

Well, guess what? There IS!

The ladies from Business School For Mums first reached out to me at the end of last year and I was thrilled to talk all things biz! Anna and Florencia are serious hustlers! They have extensive business, marketing and coaching experience behind them and I know for a fact that they’ve got the goods because they’ve created an AMAZING business for themselves, that allows them to serve biz mums just like you and I. They’re both mums, Florencia has 2 kiddlets and Anna has 3 – one of which was born just a few weeks ago. Represent! So to say they’re fully equipped in the art of biz mum hustling is an understatement.

These ladies are straight up, no BS, action orientated biz mums. And they are just as passionate as I am when it comes to helping you. They’ve worked with hundreds of mums to rediscover themselves and redevelop their confidence after having children.

I know, totally on our level right? Please take the time to listen to this podcast because I GUARANTEE you’ll have a list of actionable items by the end of it.

Today on the podcast I’m chatting to the gorgeous and talented, Olivia White. Olivia is the cool, truth-telling mummy blogger behind her blog House of White. Her blog is all about her ‘new mum’ journey – the good, the bad and the not so glam bits. There are interviews with inspirational and celebrity mothers and reviews of things and places that Olivia and her babes love. Her writing style is always honest, fun, transparent, entertaining and totally relatable! When Olivia is not ‘House of Whiting’ she’s franticly playing mummy to two beautiful girls Annabelle (2.5) and Theodora aka Teddy (4 months). Her long time love and husband (that’s handy!) is Jeremy. He owns his own business selling mobility aids and equipment to the elderly and disabled. Olivia’s background is in Marketing & PR where she was once a fashion blogger. Olivia loved the blog life so much she turned it into a full time job. To say she’s gaining traction is an understatement. One of her recent blog posts was shared worldwide (The Sun, Daily Mail, US Weekly and Cosmo just to name a few) and as a result, Olivia landed a freelance gig with Cosmopolitan! Snap! THIS WEEK’S PODCAST This week we learn all about Olivia and what led her to start her blog, House of White. We get an inside peek into the glam (cue Olivia “it ain’t that glam”) world that is mummy blogging. We chat about her process, from planning her content to enticing readers to engage with her and some of the pain points that come with living the ‘blog life’. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 1. The importance of a great headline 2. Tips to write a popular blog3. How to plan your content 4. How to monetise your blog 5. How to work with Bloggers and Influencers to market your biz OLIVIA’S EXPERT ADVICE Post blogs at a regular frequency, decide on one and stick to it! It takes a long time to build your following and readership – it’s a marathon not a sprint! Understand each social media platform and utilise each differently to promote your blog. KNOW your audience – when will they be online, how can you reach them and what will they respond to? Do make use of click bait titles (within reason!) to entice potential readers. Don’t get dismayed by competition – there are billions of people in the world and we ALL have something to offer. HOW TO PITCH A GUEST BLOG POST TO A LARGER BLOG Make use of their submission box to submit your piece Personalise your communication with the blog, find out who the relevant contacts are and address everything via their first name. Be sure to include how your piece will resonate with their audience. Use relevant imagery so they don’t have to source it for you. Include a bio about you and include all social links. Be CONFIDENT! HOW TO MONETISE YOUR BLOG Make contact with relevant PR Companies.Tell them who you are and how you can work together. Be selective in who you work with.Detail how you would execute your arrangement. Highlight what you can do for them. It has been such an honour connecting with Olivia to learn all about her blogging process and I can’t thank her enough for sharing her fab tips with us! She’s honestly SO laidback, authentic and REAL it was like chatting to a friend. Thanks Olivia!

INTROSo Biz Mums, it’s SUCH an exciting time for us. The term mumpreneur is well and truly cemented in society’s vocabulary and we should all give ourselves a giant pat on the back for being part of the movement. YAY us! In saying that though, hands up if you feel like you’re squeezing more in than ever before? Hands up if your whole life is in your diary and you feel the strain to constantly juggle life, business, motherhood, work, being a wife and trying to maintain something resembling a social life? YUP, my hands are UP. That’s why it’s so important to figure out WHY you do what you do and remain authentic. It’s SO EASY to loose sight of the bigger picture and get bogged down in the details. I know my WHY is of course, my family but for me my WHY is YOU. No jokes peeps, it is you. I want to help as many biz mums as possible, I want you to kick butt, hustle hard and pretty much ROCK at everything you do. So thank you for being my WHY and pushing me to achieve more each and everyday. This week, I’m joined by Kara Vaina who is one incredible half of the biz Keopha. She is a biz mum with a strong passion for creating memories, mindfulness, achieving life goals but more importantly, to inspiring people to achieve more in life and find their OWN happiness. Together with her biz partner, she is the creator of My MindFULL Year, the ultimate planner for hustling’ mamas, geared at personal growth. Kara comes to us with a WEALTH of knowledge having worked in a variety of industries like Human Resources, Corporate Travel AND she even had her own online clothing store for little dudes. When she’s not tied up in all things Keopha, she’s knee deep in #mumlife chasing after her two little boys aged 6 and 23 months. THIS WEEK’S PODCAST In this week’s Podcast we chat about being your authentic self and what that actually means. We talk in depth about why it’s crucial for you to find your ‘WHY’ in business. We learn all about Kara’s journey and how she found her authentic self after many years of searching. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN How to fund your ‘why’ and why that should drive you. Why authenticity should be central to everything you do. TIME TO JUMP ON IN! HERE’S A LOWDOWN ON WHAT WE CHATTED ABOUT: Kara’s unique business journey How Kara found her authentic self Kara’s WHY and how to find your WHYThe process of a start up – learning, researching, networking – the works! Setting a budget for your business and being savvy with your funds Advice for aspiring Biz Mums KARA’S TOP TIPS FOR FINDING YOUR WHYOprah put it perfectly when she said: “Everything happening to you is happening for you”. Your WHY should make you cry because this is at the heart and soul of WHY you do what you do.Be honest, does your business truly fulfil your WHY? Are you in the right business to fulfil your WHY? Ask yourself this raw question and be truthful. If you get your authenticity and WHY right, everything else will follow. “Never sell your authenticity for someone else’s approval” – Brene Brown KARA’S SUCCESS CRITERIA Never stop learning Add value to others People are important BONUSUS The Keopha ‘My MindFULL Year’ planner officially launches THIS THURSDAY 7th July.

Ok, so we’ve chatted about mama guilt on the podcast before and at some point or another, we all feel it creep up and it sucks. Raising kids and juggling a biz is hard, doing it all from home, while taking care of the kids brings an extra dimension of pressure and to say that juggling it all is overwhelming is a massive understatement. I hear from women all the time about how they feel guilty working from home and sometimes giving in and putting on the TV for the kids while they get some work done, or while they just sit and take 5. I hear from women themselves who say they feel like they just can’t switch off from their biz mode because they are constantly checking their phones, be it for social media, text messages, notifications buzzing or constantly checking their email. Today’s guest is here to share some major tips with us but she is also here to educate us on the healthy and helpful ways we can use technology in our business’s and how we can manage our kids’ screen-time without feeling guilty. Joining me on the podcast this week, is the down to earth and super knowledgeable Dr Kristy Goodwin. Dr Kristy is a children’s technology and development researcher, she’s a passionate speaker, blogger, author, and of course, a hustling mama on a mission. Her super power is to make parents feel confident raising their kids in the digital age. When Dr Kristy isn’t changing the world or running after her boys (Taj, 5 & Billy, 2), she makes it a priority to carve some alone time out for herself. Her intense exercise routine (6 days a week!) enables her to re-set the engine and continue her crucial work. THIS WEEKS PODCAST In this week’s podcast, we talk about mindset and the incredible way this can lead you to success, the importance of self-care and Dr Kristy shares her top productivity hacks that will help all of us biz mummas reach our potential. Winning! BONUSUS Dr Kristy is offering us Biz Mummas 10% discount on her video seminars and book ‘Raising Your Child in a Digital World’. Just use the code HUSTLE10.

Just go for it!In a nutshell, one of the biggest learnings I took away from my chat with Sarah is that ANYONE can write a book.
