Being a mum is already a full-time job. Between preparing meals, helping your kids with their homework, taking care of household chores, and running errands, there’s barely any time left for you to breathe, let alone to run a business. And yet, there are so many amazing women out there who are both great mothers and successful business owners, and one can’t help but wonder how they do it.

Chimene Mary “Chemmy” Crawford Alcott is the most fearless mum of two I have ever met in my entire media career. Beautiful and confident Chemmy is the real deal. She is an English former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in all five skiing disciplines (downhill, super G, giant slalom, slalom and combined) and she is a fun mum and has a ‘dream’ TV job these days. Chemmy is the…
When you are ready to return to the world of work, you need to think about more than just yourself. You have to juggle time, commitments and other responsibilities to ensure that your family unit or household runs smoothly and efficiently even when you are not there.

When we agreed to meet on Zoom to discuss parenting challenges for my summer 2021 cover interview, I rejoiced as I have always loved Kate Silverton’s reportage style and her cheerful approach to TV presenting. She showed up with curls in her hair as she ‘wanted to look beautiful for our chat’. Her spontaneity, honesty and charming smile made our hour together go by so quickly. Mum to two…
Whether you’re returning to work after maternity leave, or after an extended break, the prospect of either can be quite daunting. As a Coach and also ex-recruiter, I know how hard it can be for some to place themselves in a position of strength when looking for that next chapter of their working lives. I often ask a significant question to my clients when coaching;
‘what can you do to help…

There are many things you need to be aware of before starting a contractor business, however. Overlooking these could end up costing you a lot of money in the long…
Hi All
Firstly thank you to London Mums Magazine for giving me this lovely opportunity to blog here.
I have so much I want to discuss and talk about, but I thought I should probably introduce myself first.

Are you happy being a nurse? How long have you been a nurse for and are you still enjoying what the job offers? Are you still getting the job satisfaction that you signed up for, or has it waned off? Do you now feel that you simply exist within your role as opposed to making a change and a difference? It is easy to get stuck in a rut when nursing, as busy shifts and putting others first all the…
I have recently had a chat to Americana rock star Amy Speace about bringing up baby and making music.
What first got you into music?
The family rumor is that I sat down at my grandmother’s piano at age 3 and plunked out “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. That may or may not be true. However, my parents wanted me to start lessons and nobody took me until I was 5. I studied piano until I was 16.
I love soulful creatures and musicians are possibly my favourite people to interview and to be around. Here’s one of my latest chats from my interview series My mum is a rock star: Lulu Ash is a mumpreneur and a sing-songwriter who gave me some vocal coach lessons. Today, she releases new song “Never Be Mine” from her debut album, “Circles”.
Tell me about Circles.
