Welcome to Modern Mums

Throughout my two maternity leaves I was struck how many similar conversations I had with all the mums I have met, around the same eternal questions:

• What shall I do with my life?
• Who am I? What do I value?
• How can I be a mum, a wife and be me?
• What happened to my career?
• How well am I coping with balancing everything I have to do?
• Am I normal to feel bored, confused, frustrated, lost etc.?
• What will make me happy?
• What do I now want from life?

Today’s modern mums have often spent years building up skills, personal achievements and life expectations before they raise their families – compare to our mums’ generation! These familiar questions suggest that as modern mums, we can easily lose a sense of who we are, what defines us, the clarity needed to make life choices and ultimately achieve the contentment motherhood can bring us.

Modern Mums was born out of personal experience with a mum’s life challenges, and a passion for supporting like-minded women on their quest for clarity, contentment and success. 

Our approach is unique in not starting with the assumption that all mums want to do is go back to work. Nor are we about developing parenting, stress or time-management skills. At Modern Mums we believe that the route to personal contentment and success starts with clarity of individual life values and goals – working may be the goal of many, but for others it could be being a proud and fulfilled full-time Mum. Once clarity is there, Modern Mums then supports mums maintain their values and achieve their goals through life, career, image and personal impact coaching.
