Being a working mum can be a lot of hard work, so I created this community.

As a wife and working mother who has spent most of my life working in the fast-paced financial service sector, I know the struggle of being a mother and a working professional. I understand the demands of
juggling a thousand responsibilities with the joys of motherhood. It is a beautiful yet challenging journey, and sometimes, it consumes our aspirations in its wake. If you’ve walked this path and can relate to this!

As a young girl, I drew inspiration from watching my dad grow and nurture his career. Naturally, I aspired to achieve the same and climb the corporate ladder. However, life had other plans. First came marriage, then motherhood, bringing new roles and responsibilities. Suddenly, I had to figure out how to be the best mum and wife and still actualise my dream of a successful corporate career.

Despite my love for having a career, juggling my other roles of mother, wife, and visionary with a million dreams in my heart often left me feeling overly stretched and overwhelmed. Like you, I’ve questioned why I can’t have it all and achieve much more. Many times, I even wondered why I couldn’t follow in my mother’s footsteps, who made the courageous choice to put her career on hold to care for our home and raise me and my siblings.

In my moments of doubt and uncertainty, I started writing about my struggles, fears, challenges, which later evolved into a blog. This became my sanctuary, where I could share my struggles, seek advice, share practical tips and even offer support and encouragement to other women who were navigating the same struggles. Oh! the response was overwhelming, as working mothers from all walks of life joined these conversations, offering support, love and humour, reinforcing that I was not alone in this journey and there were  joyful moments to celebrate.

From those heartfelt discussions, “Trendy Mum” was born. This not just a blog or community; it’s a sisterhood of real women with real stories. It’s where working mothers find support, resources, practicable tips and empowerment. We share – the highs, the lows, and everything in between. We’ve learned that having a community to share our stories, provide advice, and swap tips is not just excellent; it’s a must.

So, whether you’re a seasoned mum, a pro, or just starting out, you’ll find a sisterhood here that understands. We exist to empower you to thrive in all areas of your life.

So join us, and let’s redefine how working mothers succeed together. Because here, at Trendy Mum, we empower working mothers to succeed one at a time!
