Let's face it, on a good day, motherhood can be qu Let's face it, on a good day, motherhood can be quite stressful to say the least. Whether you're battling through exhaustion because of another night of broken sleep or worrying that your picky eater toddler isn't getting the nutrients he needs, or feeling anxious about all the dangers out there and how on earth would you be able to protect them from it all... gosh, the list is never ending! With the current state of the world, things have taken a drastic turn for the worst and we are filled with even more concerns regarding the wellbeing of our families. We're all just trying to keep our head above water, really. Before covid19 unleashed its horror upon us, I was battling with my new normal of being a Mum of two under two. My toddler had a hard time accepting that he now had to share his parents with someone else and we were caught off guard by how hard it would all be. It became pretty clear from the get go that I needed to get myself organized as quickly as possible, since the routine I'd worked so hard to set was gone to pot after the little one arrived. So, I got to work and created a planner that would help me get my sh*t together, stay on top of things and feel less like a walking disaster🙈 The planner included a daily schedule for the toddler, meal planners (because who knew the most stressful thing about adulting was figuring out wth to eat for breakfast, lunch AND supper!?) as well as planners to help me stay organized in my business. When covid 19 struck, I knew I needed to share this planner with you all too, because everything is just completely overwhelming and stressful. Today I'd like to introduce the MUMBOSS Organizer - swipe to take a look 👉🏼 This 25 Page PDF planner is filled everything I could think of needing to help me organize homelife, stay on top of business related tasks, and stick to some sort of routine with the kids. It has, quite frankly, helped me stay sane🙈 and it is available for purchase in my shop! Simply click the link in my bio and visit the Canva Template Shop ⚠️To help offer relief to those who are in need, I'll be donating all proceeds made with the sale of this planner to different charities on the Cape Flats
Celebrating Mother's Day this year as a Mum of two Celebrating Mother's Day this year as a Mum of two little boys was not exactly what I was expecting. On the one hand my heart felt so full looking at my kids, knowing that I was chosen to be their Mum. Being given the privilege to raise them and watch their bond develop each day is something I thank Allah for each and every day. On the other hand, I missed my own Mother something fierce. I haven't seen her since before lockdown, and it all hit home that this will be our reality for who knows how long. I can't imagine being separated from my kids like this, so it just pains me to think how hard it must be for her and all the Moms out there being forced to distance themselves from their children💔 I can only pray that we are reunited again soon, Insha'Allah. Happy Mother's Day to every single Mum out there🌷
After conducting a little poll a few days ago, I w After conducting a little poll a few days ago, I was surprised to find that an area most of you are struggling with (besides creating a brand that speaks to your target audience) is how to write captivating copy. So I've been working on a really cool resource that's not only going to help you create a cohesive look online, but it will also give you a little jumpstart in writing copy that really draws in your dream client! I cannot wait to share more with you soon! What are you currently working on?🤗
If you're anything like me, then you are familiar If you're anything like me, then you are familiar with that overwhelming feeling that comes with a frazzled brain after getting sucked into a wormhole of self help blog posts and jam packed guides. Everyone has something to share and you want to take it all in so that you don't miss out on something big. And drawing from personal experience here: YOU LEARN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Because you are still stuck, you're still unsure of what to do and make zero progress at the end of it all. You begin to feel discouraged. So you make excuses, shoving your dreams in a dark and dusty corner of your mind, trying to make yourself feel better with talk of it being "unrealistic anyway" STOP👏THIS👏AT👏ONCE👏 You have a vision, you have a special something that you need to share with the world. Sure, it won't be easy, but you don't want to take a peak into that dusty corner one day and be filled with the regret of not giving yourself a fighting chance. If you're still with me then good for you! You want to see your dream project come alive and you're willing to put in the work to see it through. So, instead of procrastinating, and thinking up all the reasons why you shouldn't start, and focus on trusting your own process. Make mistakes; learn from your experiences. Get going and put yourself out there! If you don't do it, chances are someone else will! Here are a few ways you can actually get started instead of waiting around for the "right time" - save this post so you can come back to it later on! 1️⃣ Spend 10 minutes creating your dream client character profile describing exactly who it is you want to work with. Write down as much details you can about who they are and what their pain points are that you can help them solve. 2️⃣ Publish an Instagram post sharing a simple tip to educate and add value to the lives of your audience. Don't overthink it - the faster you hit that share button the better! 3️⃣ Update your website and all your business platforms with visuals that represents your business vision and speaks to the people you're trying to attract. So what are you waiting for? Pick a task and get started🤗
When I packed up my home office at the end of Janu When I packed up my home office at the end of January, I never would have believed id I’d be returning from my maternity leave under these extremely difficult circumstances. All over the world people are trying to make sense of this new reality we're all living in, with no sign that things will go back to the way it was any time soon. My heart goes out to small businesses who have been forced to close their doors in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19, with the very real possibility that they'll remain that way for good. However, after giving myself a bit of time to work through the fear and anxiety of what this all means, I have decided to remain optimistic about the future. I believe we'll all come out of this stronger, kinder, and more focused on what's important. So, if you are reading this with a heavy heart, unsure of what the future holds for your business, I want to help you! Tell me, what are you struggling with in your business right now: 1. Creating/maintaining a cohesive brand that attracts your dream client 2. Writing quality copy that narrates your business message and speaks to your target audience 3. How to niche down so you can create content and visuals that gets you noticed by your dream client Or is there anything else holding you back right now that's not listed above?

I know I've been MIA for the last few weeks and he I know I've been MIA for the last few weeks and here is the reason: on Thursday, 13th February I became a Mum of 2 under 2🥰 Since then, I've been adjusting to the delightful chaos of it all while soaking up the downtime with my little family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 The first few days were some of the hardest times I've had to face as a parent. However, I'm thankful they're now behind us and we are beginning to experience more of these simple, tender moments💖 To everyone whose been enquiring about working with me, I will be returning from my maternity leave in Monday 6th April.
