What’s your Story?

Living as my authentic self, in love with painting and connecting with nature. Laughter and breathwork is my medicine. My journey into birth work was sparked by my traumatic birth experience and postpartum depression. Through my experience, I saw the gap in support and empowerment in women to take charge of their health and birth. Through the last 5 years, I’ve evolved the business and now offer women’s coaching, parenting coaching and trauma release through somatics. Currently learning from Dr Gabor Mate to deepen my skills to support women who have experienced any kind of trauma.

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF? 

Striking balance as a mother, founder, and individual is rooted in aligning with my values and intentions. A cornerstone of this balance is trusting my intuition and embracing mindfulness, which demands grounding and presence. Integrating breathwork into my mornings and evenings, along with regular meditation and journaling, forms a vital part of my daily routine. Setting clear intentions and boundaries help me decide where my energy should go. Every Friday, I carve out a dedicated three hours for self-care, and every quarter, I treat myself to a rejuvenating staycation, reveling in the bliss of solitude. Working with a coach has also helped me!


Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional) 

I’ve come really far on my own healing journey and I’ve really proud of it! We’ve been invited to podcasts (Honeykids Asia) and even featured on a documentary with Vasantham. Proud to have won awards with Expat Living as well

 

What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

There will be multiple times where you feel like your heart is pulled in different directions. It’s so important to prioritize self-care without guilt. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity for sustained success in both your personal and professional life. Recognize the unique strengths and skills you bring as a mother. Parenthood hones resilience, time-management, and multitasking abilities—valuable assets in entrepreneurship. Don’t hesitate to seek support from family, friends, or professionals. Delegating tasks allows you to focus on essential aspects of both motherhood and business.


What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Empowering, transformative, and tiring!

The face behind Evelyn Bonney Sleep Consulting- Evelyn!

 

What’s your story?

Hi I’m Evie, a registered nurse, founder of Evelyn Bonney Sleep Consulting, mum of 3 (including twins!) and a certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant. As a Sleep Sense™ Certified consultant, with 20 years of nursing experience I support parents when they need it most.

How & Why did you start your company/passion work? 

When I found out I was expecting twins everything changed. I was working full time as a nurse and pediatric clinic manager and I LOVED my job. I knew I wanted to keep supporting families but I now also needed the flexibility to look after not one but two babies. So, I trained as a sleep consultant and started my own business! I can now be around for my twins but also combine all my nursing experience with what I love the most: Empowering families with knowledge and education so they can enjoy their parenting journey.


How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF? 

With difficulty! It’s a constant juggle. I have to remind myself daily what to prioritise and allow myself the grace to accept the things that I can’t get to.


Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional) 

My Business is one year old and I have started offering group coaching workshops to try and support more families!

What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

Do it! Its empowering, hard and totally rewarding all in one!


What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Exhilarating, rewarding, tough.

Amreena Jan https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/10/27/amreena-jan/ https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/10/27/amreena-jan/#respond Fri, 27 Oct 2023 02:23:56 +0000 https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/?p=1128

Amreena Jan & her Passionate blog that she runs!

What’s your story?

Well, I’m a full-time superhero mom, donning my cape by day and my writer’s hat by night. By day, I’m a dedicated Growth Manager, steering the ship of a private organization toward prosperity. I specialize in crafting strategies that foster growth, efficiency, and innovation. But that’s not all! Beyond the boardroom, I don a different hat, that of a skilled blogger. My writing style is characterized by its humor, wit, and an inherent sense of fun. My blog is a testament to this, offering readers an enjoyable escape from the mundane. Furthermore, I’m a Content Strategist, adept at shaping brand identities and crafting compelling narratives. This role involves a delicate dance between strategy and creativity, resulting in a symphony of brand success stories. And then there’s the most epic role of all: Mom. Balancing the chaos of work and life is a rollercoaster I wouldn’t trade for the world. It’s a wild adventure, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

How & Why did you start your company/passion work? 

I am a food engineering graduate with a master’s degree specializing in food nanotechnology. My passion for writing ignited at an early age, when my first poem was published in “THE HINDU” during my grade 2. From there till now, I have been a co-author of a couple of scientific books. This fervor for writing took a new direction as I ventured into the world of blogging, where I poured my 3 a.m. thoughts onto the digital canvas. Gradually, I transformed my passion into a profession because I firmly believe in the adage,

Love what you do, and do what you love to survive.

My journey commenced as a content developer and evolved into a content strategist. I also had the privilege of working as a corporate communication specialist in the dynamic landscape of the United Arab Emirates. In addition I wear several hats, including those of a voice-over artist, scriptwriter and a budding artist. Today, I am spreading my wings even further, aiming higher, and assisting brands in their growth journey as a Growth Manager. Throughout this diverse journey, one constant remains – my unwavering love for writing and the art of crafting compelling stories.

 

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF? 

Balancing the intricate dance of work and life is like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. My journey has been an exhilarating adventure, with work as my canvas and family as my guiding star. As a driven professional, I tackle each workday with ambition and innovation, channeling my multifaceted talents into everything I do. But when the clock strikes ‘family time,’ I switch gears with enthusiasm, cherishing the moments with my loved ones. In this ever-evolving journey, I find solace in being resourceful and resilient, constantly seeking creative solutions to navigate life’s twists and turns. It’s a balancing act, no doubt, but it’s one that fuels my passion and allows me to craft stories that inspire and resonate. So, how do I bring balance to my life? By embracing the chaos, cherishing the quiet moments, and finding joy in every step of the adventure. It’s a journey I wouldn’t trade for the world.

 

Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional) 

At work- I’m all about teamwork at work, often dubbed ‘Captain Cool’ by colleagues. Approachable and lively, I believe in creating a positive work environment. At home- But when it’s family time, it’s a whole different game – no work distractions allowed. I’m fully present for my loved ones while pursuing my passion. I deliberately took a career break to savor those precious moments with my little ones. I didn’t want them cared for by anyone else; I wanted to be there for their first steps, first words, and all the little joys in between. I deeply admire moms who balance it all, but I was fortunate enough to take a break. I lived those moments and when I was ready, I came back – better and stronger! So mommys don’t fear the career break. Trust the process and get back when you are really ready for it!


What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

To my fellow mommys out there, It may seem daunting to juggle parenthood with entrepreneurship, but remember, you’ve already mastered the art of multitasking like a pro. So, why not channel that superpower into creating something remarkable? Starting a business or chasing your dreams is like embarking on an exciting adventure. Sure, there will be challenges along the way, but every twist and turn is an opportunity for growth. And let’s not forget the immense satisfaction that comes from building something of your own. So, put on your ‘Mompreneur’ cape and take that leap of faith. The world needs more of your unique talents and perspectives. Your journey might not always be smooth, but it will undoubtedly be worth it.


What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Three words to describe my experience as a mother-founder would be: Inspiring, challenging, and rewarding.

The face behind FemTech Association Asia- Lindsay Davis

What’s your story?

I am a Social Entrepreneur, Consultant, Award-Winning FemTech Founder, Board Advisor and Women’s Health Advocate.

How & Why did you start your company/passion work? 

With each international moves comes an opportunity to reprioritise, reinvent and reestablish ourselves. When I relocated to Singapore, I identified a gap in the regional market for a FemTech-focused consultancy and professional association. Since October 2021, FemTech Association Asia has been building the ecosystem for the women’s health and technology sector in Asia, supporting founders, investors, professionals and corporates through advisory, thought leadership, amplification, programming and community-building.

 

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF? 

I have not brought balance to my life yet, but am constantly learning from others to integrate small changes in my life to work towards it!

 

Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional) 

I have been included on the “2023 Singapore 100 Women in Tech” list for the work we do with FemTech Association Asia as announced by Singapore Computer Society & IMDA.


What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

For prospective founders, I would suggest starting with extensive market-research to ensure a product-market fit and that the idea is solving a problem and not just creating a product or service. From there, I would identify the exit strategy. While all of the above can change, it is good to understand your purpose and plan, or the “why”.


What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Curious, Authentic and Purpose-driven

Michelle Chan & MISEICO | Sustainable Skincare & Wellness https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/10/01/michelle-chan-miseico-sustainable-skincare-wellness/ https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/10/01/michelle-chan-miseico-sustainable-skincare-wellness/#respond Sun, 01 Oct 2023 01:36:28 +0000 https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/?p=1057

The face behind MISEICO | Sustainable Skincare & Wellness- Michelle Chan

What’s your story?

I am a lifelong learner, deeply passionate about and inspired by nature’s boundless wisdom. Like many women, I’ve navigated the transformative phases of perimenopause and menopause. In my search for answers to ease these life stages, I studied natural skincare formulation, exploring the ways nature can holistically and sustainably support our well-being. With a vision to redefine ageing as a chapter of empowerment and self-love rather than a period of decline, MISEICO was born. More than just products, MISEICO offers sustainable skincare and wellness solutions that are a testament to the belief that age mirrors wisdom, experience, and the beauty of evolution. We champion each individual’s journey, encouraging them to embrace life’s stages with grace, confidence, and a commitment to holistic well-being.

 

How & Why did you start your company/passion work? 

Starting a business is both challenging and rewarding: 1. Trust Your Instincts: Your intuition, honed by your experiences as a woman and possibly a mother, is a powerful tool. Use it to guide your decisions and understand your target audience better. 2. Embrace the Journey: There will be ups and downs, but each challenge presents an opportunity for growth and learning. Celebrate your successes, big or small, and learn from the setbacks. 3. Seek Support: Surround yourself with a strong support system, be it family, friends, or like-minded entrepreneurs. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 4. Balance & Boundaries: It’s essential to set boundaries and prioritise self-care. While passion and determination are vital, so is taking time for yourself and your loved ones. 5. Stay Authentic: Your authenticity will resonate with your audience and set you apart in the marketplace. Stay true to your values and mission.

 

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF? 

Balancing the roles of MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF requires intention, flexibility, and self-awareness. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Prioritize Self-Care: This is foundational. By ensuring I recharge mentally, emotionally, and physically, I can give my best to both my family and my business. Whether it’s a short workout or just some quiet reading time, I make it a point to carve out moments for myself. 2. Time Blocking: Designating specific chunks of time for work, family, and personal pursuits helps create clear boundaries. For instance, setting ‘office hours’ for work and specific quality time for my children ensures that each role receives dedicated attention. 3. Seek Support: I lean on my support system—be it family, friends, or team members—to help manage tasks, provide emotional support, or simply lend a listening ear. 4. Reflect and Adjust: Every week, I reflect on what went well and what didn’t. This helps me adjust my strategies and ensures that no role overshadows the others for an extended period.

 


Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional) 

On the professional front, MISEICO recently launched our Aromatherapy Elixirs, a line crafted to support those navigating the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our mission to offer sustainable skincare and wellness solutions and to champion a holistic approach to well-being. On a personal note, I recently completed a mindset course, which not only advanced my personal development but also equipped me with tools to integrate a growth mindset into MISEICO’s brand ethos and product experience. Both of these accomplishments underscore my commitment to continuous learning and growth, both for the benefit of MISEICO’s community and for my personal journey.

 

What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ?

The face behind ANJIALIVING- Dana Wolf


What’s your story?

I am the embodiment of a cross-cultural journey, a fusion of East and West that shapes my very identity. Born amidst the vibrant tapestry of Taiwan, my early footsteps led me to Austria at the tender age of three. A convergence of two worlds became the cornerstone of my upbringing, gifting me with the unique ability to bridge the gap between disparate cultures and languages. Now, as I navigate the realm of business, this cherished advantage serves as my North Star. I am a conduit between the familiar cadence of the West and the deep-rooted wisdom of the East. My understanding of Western ideals is seasoned with the foundation of Eastern principles, granting me the ability to approach challenges from multiple angles. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, I offer a fresh perspective that harmonizes the best of both worlds.



How & Why did you start your company/passion work? Did you have a crossroad moment? 

Even as a young child, I was drawn to the mystique of feng shui, voraciously consuming every book on the subject that I could get my hands on. But it wasn’t until our transition from Europe to the vibrant heart of Singapore that a pivotal crossroad moment beckoned. Singapore, a thriving hub of feng shui wisdom, became my canvas for transformation. Recognizing the city’s prominence as a feng shui epicenter, I embraced the opportunity to learn from the very best. Guided by three accomplished feng shui masters, I embarked on a journey of education and refinement, honing my skills to perfection. The decision to transition my lifelong passion into a full-fledged profession was a profound one. I realized that I possessed a rare confluence of passion and expertise, a potent blend that could bring positive change to people’s lives.


How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF

Firstly, it’s all about prioritization: recognizing that there are only 24 hours in a day and some things will take precedence over others. I’ve learned to pinpoint what truly needs immediate attention in each role, and that helps me allocate time more effectively. Secondly, delegation has been a game-changer. I’ve embraced the idea that I don’t have to do it all alone. Whether it’s at home or within my business, I’ve learned to ask for help when needed. Surrounding myself with a supportive network has lightened the load and allowed me to excel in each role. Perhaps the most important lesson has been self-compassion. I’ve come to realize that striving for perfection in all three roles is both unrealistic and unnecessary. Giving myself permission to acknowledge imperfections has relieved a significant amount of pressure. Being kind to myself and understanding that there will be days when things don’t go perfectly has been crucial for maintaining balance.



What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

Go for it! We’re already superheroes, juggling endless roles. From dreaming to doing, we’ve got what it takes to make things happen. Our multitasking skills and resilience are a perfect match for business. So, turn your dreams into reality – just as we conquer daily challenges, we can conquer the business world too. Embrace the journey, and let your superpowers shine!



Would you like us to highlight previous/current accomplishments? ( personal/ professional) 

I’ve just returned from a rejuvenating holiday in Austria. For the first time in a while, I managed to completely disconnect from work for a continuous two weeks. This time away allowed me to recharge my energy and perspective. Being able to immerse myself in quality time with family and friends was truly priceless. It’s incredible how stepping away from the daily grind can give you a fresh outlook and a renewed sense of purpose. The experiences, laughter, and connections I shared during this holiday were nothing short of amazing. Taking this break has reminded me of the importance of balance and self-care. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, but moments like these provide a chance to reset and return to my work and responsibilities with a clearer mind and renewed enthusiasm.



What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Empowering, Transformative, Fulfilling

 The face behind Wholistic Health- Himani Kapoor

What’s your story?

My journey from being a corporate girl to moving toward as a health coach. I worked in the financial service industry for 11 years and hold a Master of Business Administration degree in Marketing and Human Resources. Always been a corporate girl. Growing up, I was an obese child, an unhealthy teenager, and always an overweight person, heaviest at 95kg. I would have tried a zillion fad diets and consulted multiple nutritionists, and dieticians. Nothing was working for me, in my mind I was working very hard and doing all the right things but I was seeing minimum results. I have always been passionate about health and fitness. I decided to take some radical decisions towards my health and well-being – I signed up at Institute for Integrative Nutrition, NY. I truly believe in the concept of Bio-individuality – the fact that there is no “one size fits all” diet. Diets don’t work. You cannot be on a diet for lifelong. Diets are not sustainable, a healthy lifestyle is. You need to understand what food works for you and how your body is responding to the different food groups. Social distractions, vacations, travel are a big part of our life’s. We need to learn to enjoy those without having to feel guilty about diet breaks or diet cheats.

 

How & Why did you start your company/passion work? Did you have a crossroad moment? 

Many crossroad moments. I was filled with many doubts and uncertainties, will I be able to do this? Am I making the right choice.?Deep down I was always passionate about health and nutrition but never thought I could make it as a career. Finally, I trusted my instincts and decided to go for it.

 

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF? 

That’s the hardest part, being a mother you need to not only be responsible for your business but for your family. But I am very fortunate that my daughter is very understanding and my biggest supporter for my venture.

 

What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business? 

Believe in yourself and just do it.

 

Would you like us to highlight previous/current accomplishments? ( personal/ professional) 

I love seeing my clients achieve their health goals. Its most satisfying and filling part of my job.

 

What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ? 

Its overwhelming, exciting, and fulfilling

The face behind KOVA Branding| MRKT Creative- Jerica Liew

What’s your story?


Frustrated with the rigidity of a corporate work structure, 2020 saw me leaving that world and entering knee-deep into the sect of entrepreneurship. I was particularly fascinated by the world of brand building and design automation, how these are used as a medium to drive impact.

I realised that there was a lot of noise in the branding and marketing world, a lot of promoting but not enough listening. Often, the solutions are right there when we listen, and I found solace in helping founders to convey their thoughts in a visual-forward manner that brings their purpose to life.

I launched my first business KOVA with the intention of exploring branding as a medium to drive impact.

Following KOVA’s principle of providing only what is essential for a holistic strategy and visual identity, I proceeded to launch MRKT, a design automation studio with a central goal of empowering female entrepreneurs and small business owners. The intersection of gender and entrepreneurship was another gap in the industry I wanted to help. MRKT is designed as an intuitive platform allowing founders to automate the creation of digital assets necessary to grow their brands.

 

 

What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?

Just do it! Launch that product, purchase that course, pick up that book. We always convince ourselves out of doing the things that we don’t realise will bring us the most fulfilment. Start before you feel ready.

 

What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Founder?

Authenticity. Impact. Joy.

These 2 brands were built from the love of how we can help humankind and how we can give back.

Who is Rebecca Downie & Rebecca Downie Photography https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/06/23/who-is-rebecca-downie-rebecca-downie-photography/ https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/2023/06/23/who-is-rebecca-downie-rebecca-downie-photography/#respond Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:14:28 +0000 https://meetmumz.com/motherfounder/?p=899

Who is Rebecca Downie from Rebecca Downie Photography?

What’s your story?

I started my business as I couldn’t take the guilt of my son being the first dropped off, and the last picked up from nursery. I started a couple of working-from-home jobs, but they didn’t fill my cup and make use of my talents. So I looked to go alone. 

I searched jobs in photography and came across a franchise for newborn photography. IT wasn’t the most successful business but it got me started and I learned a lot about what NOT to do.

What is your passion? Why do you do, What you do?

My passion is empowering Singapore-based women leaders and founders to proudly take the space they deserve. This comes from my early days in business seeing business owners , namely mother founders, struggle with confidence and the skills to show up as their best selves online. I have invested in training in this genre and now feel best placed to support business women.

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF?
I build in breaks in my day, and I make sure I am around most evenings for the kids. I try to work smart and look where I will get the most returns for my time. I love what I do but I don’t want to do it all the time! I like to swim, meet friends, relax and be with my kids.

Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
I have launched two businesses in Singapore (I also run The Athena Network) within months of arriving and built two solid brands that are successful quickly. I want to share what I did so others can know it is possible.

 

What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
As a mother founding my own business has been the best thing. Yes there are hard days, lots of self doubt and ups and downs. I wouldn’t swap the freedom for anything! So if you are thinking about it DO IT!
