From Nurse to Network: My Story & How I Can Help You

​

Lanarkshire Boss Mums Membership is a vibrant community and support network designed to help ambitious mums turn their business dreams into thriving realities. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow and scale, I provide a space where women in business feel seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

​

What I Offer

A supportive membership that provides networking opportunities, business-building workshops and activities that focus on marketing, mindset, visibility, strategy and much more. I know how important flexibility is, so our sessions are designed to fit around the busy lives of mums, offering both in-person and online options to keep things accessible and practical. At the heart of everything I do is community because, I believe that when mums support each other, incredible things happen. Whether you're here to connect, learn, grow or simply feel less alone on your business journey, there's a place for you in the Lanarkshire Boss Mums Membership. 

​

Why I Started This

I founded the Lanarkshire Boss Mums Network in late 2024, born from frustration, really. Local business support in my area was virtually non-existent unless you had a traditional bricks-and-mortar setup. The local business association felt cliquey and out of touch, especially for women like me who were building businesses around family life. I wanted to create a space that truly understood the juggle of motherhood and entrepreneurship, with meet-ups during school hours and flexible, online support in the evenings. A place where women could connect, learn, grow, and feel seen.

​

My Journey

I live in Strathaven with my partner David, our 9-year-old daughter Heather, two ponies, and our Labrador, Alice.

Before entrepreneurship, I was an ambitious nurse on a fast track by 30, I held a senior post, had my Master's, and had been offered a lecturing role with PhD funding. Then I got pregnant, and everything shifted. The life I'd built no longer fit, and I wasn't willing to miss out on motherhood to maintain it. So I made the bold choice to leave, without a clear plan.

​

Then life threw another curveball: my partner had an accident, was made redundant, and couldn't work for nearly two years. I had to create income fast. That's when I learned to create opportunities, not wait for them.

In 2019, I qualified as a Pilates and Yoga teacher and built a successful wellness business in Strathaven. Then in June 2024, I spotted a gap: mums in Lanarkshire needed a networking group that truly understood the juggle child-friendly, supportive, and free from corporate pressure. So I launched Lanarkshire Boss Mums Network, now the go-to community for mums in business across the region. Alongside this, I now coach mums to build businesses of their own helping them turn their skills and ambitions into something real, on their own terms.

A Master's degree, a background as a Senior Nurse Specialist with serious leadership and project management experience, and I'm currently completing a Business Management and Leadership degree. I've built two successful businesses from the ground up, and I believe in having both the lived experience and the academic knowledge to truly know that I can also help you.

Drawing on my background as a Senior Nurse Specialist, two businesses built from scratch, and formal qualifications in business and leadership, I know what it actually takes to get started and keep going. I'll help you find clarity, build confidence, and create real connections that move you forward. If you think I could be the person to help you take that next step, let's make it happen.
