I met Sarah at the very beginning of her business journey, as she left a 20 year career in IT project management to pursue her life-long passion for precious stones and jewellery design. Sarah is a shining example of what can happen when you find the courage to pursue your dreams. Her story and her jewellery are inspirational. Sarah helped me design our very own Mpower bracelet, which we give as a joining gift to members of our mastermind groups, the angels wings and the heart pendant symbolise the unconditional love and support within the Mpower community empowering women as they find their wings. Sarah's pieces always have meaning and are made with pure love and passion.sar

Sarah's Bio - Sarah is an inspirational jewellery designer and mum to two little people. Following her childhood dream and passion Made by Plumb was 'born' in 2013. Sarah works closely with her clients to create personal pieces of Silver jewellery that can provide an 'anchor' in times of need.

Passionate about sourcing and using beautiful stones and materials from all over the world, she loves sharing these and uses them as a starting point for her designs. She works with her clients directly and also with coaches and therapists to help their clients grow. Sarah also works with her local Hospice, Farleigh, who took care of her Dad. Designing and making the 'Farleigh bracelet', donating the proceeds to the hospice.

Inspired by Mother Nature, she loves to keep her designs pure and simple, allowing the intention of the piece and the materials themselves take the centre stage.

I could listen to Joan's beautiful Irish accent all day long! I met Joan quite a few years ago now, it has been wonderful to see how Joan has reconnected with her art, that has been a life-long passion and is building her business as an artist through her paintings, book illustrations, children's books and music for little ones. I have the pleasure of seeing Joan's work every day – I'm a big coffee drinker and I bought some of Joan's beautiful seascapes printed on a set of coasters which make my office desk look beautiful and remind me of the sea views on the south coast.

Joan's Bio - Joan Wallington is the Irish artist behind Joan Kennedy Artist where she lovingly creates seascape paintings and illustrations of quirky animals such as scruffy dogs and mice for children's bedrooms and offices. Each piece is created using oils, watercolours or inks and although she has painted since she was a child, she only recently turned her passion for creating art into a business. She has turned her art into prints, and home decor products which can be seen at www.joankennedyartist.co.uk

She is also the founder of Little Hands Music teaching babies and toddlers through music and helping parents with their child's development. Based in Staffordshire these small groups have been running over 15 years. www.littlehandsmusic.co.uk

If you want to meet a Mum with tonnes of energy and vitality, Maja is your lady. Known as "The Vitality Strategist" she is definitely a walking advert for what she does.

Maja's Bio - I specialise in helping mums who have tried any diet under the Sun, or attended any weight loss clubs, without sustainable weight loss results which left them frustrated and feeling low about themselves. My promise to them is to get them their dream and permanent weight loss within 6 months' time.

The problems today I see is most of the mums are lacking self – worth and compensate this fact with food. The dominant problems are constant tiredness, being overweight, being physically restricted and feeling depressed. Due to those problems, they are unable to spend actively quality time with their kids. This leads to kids being affected by mum's health issues and falling into their unhealthy footsteps.

But I have a solution which takes mums' Health, Body and Mindset through 3 milestones with my 6 months programme.

These are:

• Focus
• Improve
• Transform

The benefits are high and sustainable throughout the day energy levels, 1-1.5 stones permanently lost, saying good bye to yoyoing and health issues like joint pains, high blood pressure, depression, adrenal fatigue and much more.

The ultimate results are being able to play with their kids actively and setting up an example for them of how to lead the life full of vitality and self-love.

I am a qualified fitness instructor, raw food nutritionist and a mum of 3 beautiful kids. I truly believe that all mums need to have the vitality to juggle their kids, career and their personal lives. It is my mission to ensure that mums leave the legacy for their children. And over the next 5 years, it is my mission to ensure that I help 5000 mums to fall in love with themselves and live their lives in a healthy way with tones of energy.

Those of you who have heard about my book The Invisible Revolution will know why I always get so excited about meeting successful jam-makers! This was no exception, in fact, being invited to go along to the Mrs Darlington's offices to interview daughters Wendy and Sarah felt a little bit like being invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the queen of Jam-makers! I felt honoured to be invited into the heart of this successful family business, and to find out what the secret is behind this successful family business which is now global yet remains a lifestyle business which has remained true to its deepest values.

Mrs Darlington's Bio - Marion Darlington started making her award-winning range of products in the 1980s. Now in her 70's, Marion is still the 'Mary Berry' of recipe creation in the family firm – there are few to rival her skill in creating preserves and chutneys with such a fabulous homemade taste. However, one of those rivals might just be her eldest daughter Sarah – they've been working together for 27 years, along with younger daughter Wendy who tempted away from her corporate job to join the family business in 2006, so when we say on the jar 'Made with Love', we really mean it!

Marion still finds it hard to believe she went from making 100 jars a day of her Legendary Lemon Curd in the farmhouse kitchen to selling over 400,000 jars a year of this marvelous product today!

Alexandra is a shining example of a devoted mother who is both passionate about her children and her business. This is one lady who has such an inspirational story of courage, resiliency and creativity.

Alexandra's Bio - Mother of two Alexandra de Faucigny is the epitome of the modern entrepreneur. Today her online French boutique Tendre Deal (tendredeal.co.uk) is filled with beautiful, independent French children's brands who all share a common thread - social consciousness and exceptional high quality.

Having left Paris after a ten-year marketing career, the mother of two never imagined that motherhood would impact her so consummately that she would be inspired to introduce the naturally made French accessories and toys which were staples of her children's early years, to parents in the UK;

"There has long been a love of the famous French childrenswear brands in the UK, but I wanted to support the lesser known French makers whose products are kind to the environment and safe for our children, to UK parents."

Today Tendre Deal's offering is made up of brands committed to making a social contribution such as the gorgeous Made in France range by Annabel Kern manufactured in small ateliers in Marseille by disabled young people with a distinct care and love for detail or the cute fashions crafted by Fairtrade certified La Queue du Chat manufactured in India exclusively with organic cotton ensuring a fair wage, an equal pay and medical insurance for the workers and their families, supporting an orphanage in the region where the clothes are produced and a charity that provides essential assistance to homeless mothers. Tendre Deal believes in buying less but better and responsibly.
