Mum Talks

Our key motivation for starting Mum Talks was to work for ourselves and a passion to fix a problem that we both experienced as mothers. We identified that there was not enough support for mums and that mums need to hear from experts and their peers to realise that the feelings of overwhelm, loneliness, not being good enough, and loss of identity are normal and that it can be a very difficult time for so many women.

As two women working full time, we were struggling with the juggle of family, work and personal life. This coincided with both of us going through life altering events with Lucy becoming a single mum and Kara’s husband diagnosed with lung cancer, we realised more so than ever the importance of having a support network. We had chatted about starting a business together previously (we were in school together from the age of 8 to 18 and lived together in London in our 20’s for 3 years and have been best friends ever since!) but it wasn’t until both our daughters were in school that we realised the time was right.

We have experienced Imposter Syndrome (still do sometimes!), we have grown our tribe and realise the importance of doing so and we have made mistakes and learned from them. We are looking forward to telling our Mum Talks business story and meeting others to share the highs and lows we all go through!
