Finding Myself Again… and Finally Starting My Business

[englishadventures]

Hi Mumsnet,

18 months postpartum and finally starting to feel like myself again. After 3 years of slowly working on my business but never really putting it out there, it’s finally live for all to see.

For anyone thinking about starting something new, my advice is simple… Just do it!! It won’t be easy, and you may never feel completely ready, but time really does wait for no one.

For me there was always something, being a wife, pregnancy, moving countries, renovating our forever home, birth, postpartum… the list goes on 😂

Now I finally feel more settled (with a very active toddler, which is a whole new chapter in itself!). But I realised, why keep waiting?

P.S I’ll probably share another post about my business later if that’s okay (because who else will be your hype woman? 😂). I’d really love the support 😊

Love this! What's your new business? I also have an 18 month old and would love to work for myself one day too ☺️

Thank you so much! I’m a destination wedding planner, I used to live in Marrakech and planned/coordinated weddings there. So if you know any UK brides looking to get married abroad, send them my way 😆

But honestly, if you’re thinking about it… do it! Just do it at your own pace. It won’t pick up overnight, and it can be scary putting yourself out there, but sometimes you just have to go for it!

Sending good vibes and positivity your way! Hopefully we can both achieve what we want 😊

Thanks op- what a lovely positive thread to start. Hoping it goes well. I’m still in the procrastination stage and it’s very frustrating! Mind you my toddlers have grown up and I’m still not finished renovating!

Thank you so much!! Definitely just wanted to encourage all the mums thinking about it to just go for it!! But it does take time, so only do it when you feel ready. Some days will be more productive than others 😊

That’s awesome! Thanks for the reminder to keep going and just start something.

Everyday I want to breakaway from the daily grind and build something on the side but the struggle is real.

Well done for the resilience 💪

Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you so much! The struggle is SO real!! But don’t worry mamas, we’ve got this!! 💪🥰

We’re all just out here doing our best, hopefully it all pays off!

Hands up to the mums juggling full time jobs, running a home, and doing absolutely everything else too… honestly you’re AMAZING!! ❤️
