And I thought, you know what, this might be useful to share. Because so many people overcomplicate it. So here's my honest, no-nonsense breakdown. Start with yourself Before you register anything, open any accounts, or touch Canva start with you. Ask yourself three things: What am I passionate about? What could I genuinely talk abo

A week of conversations that connected some really important dots… This week has been one of those weeks in the Boss Mum Business Club where one conversation leads to another and before you know it, you've landed on something that feels really important. So I wanted to share it here, because I think it's going to get us thinking. It started at the weekend when something came up in the Lanarkshire Boss Mums network.

The early years of my business… That tiny desk in the corner? That was all I had. Our Christmas tree was small. My business was small. Life felt heavy, uncertain, and stretched thin. I was a mum trying to build something meaningful while juggling Christmas, childcare, money worries, and the constant mental load that comes with it all. And here’s what those years taught me about running a business as a mum at Christmas 🎄 Christmas is a season not a failure If December feels h

I get invited to networking events all the time. And almost every single one is completely impossible. There's the 7am breakfast meeting (I'm still in my pjs doing the packed lunch). The 4pm "after work networking” (that's literally school pick-up, dinner, homework, and ferrying kids to clubs). Or my personal favourite the evening event in Glasgow city centre with canapés and champagne. Because, obviously I have time to get showered, dressed up, and drive into town after a f
