I am also a Mom and successful multi-business Entrepreneur and my biggest passion is my three young children. Everything I stand for is for the good of my kids, but also for all children. I believe that moms should be able to be THERE for their kids on their terms (have more time and freedom), while making a consistent, but growing income. That moms should be able to generate a sustainable business that provides them with the income, freedom and flexibility they require to build the life that they desire.
I am a huge believer that as with most things in life, slow and steady wins the race. Building a stable business is no different. A strong foundation is KEY!
My background is building successful businesses from home. I have been an entrepreneur for just about 20 years. My mission is to help other moms who feel stuck on multiple levels, to become empowered by structuring and systemizing their businesses properly so that they can effectively grow their businesses.
With 20 years of business experience, research and growing multiple successful business models, including service and product based online businesses, and being a mom for the past several years, I was able to combine powerful strategies to structure and systemize any online business.
I love to empower moms to grow their OWN business effectively so that they can have the dream lifestyle they yearn for; with their kids by their side so that they can be there for their kids. If your burning passion and deepest desire is to be home for your kids and run a successful business, what would it mean to you if you had someone to hold your hand along the way?
My Story...
When I finished my business management studies, me and my now-husband decided to go overseas and work and travel in the UK for a year. This would be my first corporate job. I learnt a lot, but in my gut, I knew that there had to be more to life than spending all my days behind a desk, or running around like a crazy person lodging visa applications all over the London embassy’s while operating on a boss’s and clients’ every demand. Imagining those long hours away from home, especially when having kids, just was not for me – AT ALL. I was working extremely long hours. In hindsight I realize that subconsciously I wondered how this type of existence was normal.
Unlike what we have been taught in school, that we will all be working for big corporations and we had to steadily climb our way to the top – that THAT was what we should aim for in life, I strongly felt that there had to be another way. This was before any digital business world existed, except for the internet. During the time we were there I was constantly thinking of ways to start my own business so that I could do life on my terms. Looking back, how right my intuition was.
I told my husband daily that we needed to start our own business as soon as we returned from the UK. We saved up and we could sustain ourselves for a while. We did not know HOW we were going to do it, nor what business to start, but the fact that my business management degree was specialized in the travel industry, we decided that we wanted to try something exciting.
We decided to pursue the travel industry. I was only 22, but we built a business that developed into something amazing…
Our very first business was transformed into a highly specialised travel agancy with the speciality of high profile Indian Ocean Island travel packages.
Our business, Wild Expeditions, allowed us to travel all over paradise while we grew our business! We soon had to employ some extra hands to cope with the work-load. In the meantime, we also started another business – solar system products, Beam Energy Systems. This was a product based online business. Lots of hard hands-on work and long hours assembling products and late nights. What a learning curve!!
After 5 years of blood, sweat, late nights and literally tears at times, my husband decided that he really wanted to return to the engineering field full time, which is his passion, field of study and background.
We felt that we achieved our goals with the travel business and we were ready to take a break from the business responsibilities before we started a family. We sold the business for a good profit when I was only 27. Within these 5 years I used my studies and limited practical work experience and learned everything from starting up a new online product and service based business from scratch, drafting and following a practical business plan, stock control, product development, business structures, business models, online marketing, SEO, running a product and service-based onilne business, website development, creative software, editing software and we touched a bit on the social side of blogging (no social media existed) – amongst so many other skills.
Once the business was sold, I decided to return to the corporate world for a while, try my luck once more… I really liked my new job within the Timeshare industry in club operations. I loved it because it was a position where I had to be very analytical, focused and systemized. I love to control my work environment, hence my passion for structure and systemization!
Unfortunately I again found myself unfulfilled at a deeper level. I wanted more. I wanted to have a significant impact.
I left my job when I fell pregnant with my eldest. I wanted to be with my kids! And I wanted to build a business again!! YES! When my son was born I became very interested in natural vitamin C for our family health. This brought about my third business where I imported premium quality natural vitamin C and sold it to high-end specialized health retailers like ‘Faithful to Nature’ and ‘Wellness Warehouse’ stores in the local natural health market. Although I was struggling with business-family balance initially, as so many of us mom-bosses do when our children enter our lives. I worked really hard to make time for the business and not neglect my kids. THEY ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST PRIORITY!! I had to learn how to structure my business, plan my time effectively and become even more disciplined in order to gain control over the business. I succeeded quite quickly and it was turned into a semi-passive income business with little input on a continuous basis. I was able to focus on my kids, join playgroups, and homeschool them.
Everywhere I went, moms would ask me about being home with the kids, running a business effectively and everyone seemed to have the same yearning – more time freedom for kids and a dream of growing their own business, not even to talk about the Energy and Resilience they lacked. It seems impossible to many.
My heart resonated with these Moms. BizMomCoaching was born.
As I emerged myself into the online business world of moms, I came to realize that there were many common challenges that I experienced while building my Vitamin C business as a new mom.
I knew I could help other moms! But little did I know that I too would have to go through the journey of overwhelm, procrastination, overworking, burn-out (a major adrenal crash), lack of clarity and control and some level of imposter syndrome in this new online business industry, before finding my footing properly. I was trying so hard to learn everything about the coaching world and passive income streams by myself. This did NOT work and I eventually had to submit defeat and enroll in business coaching courses in order to help me overcome those hurdles. Once again I pulled myself together to proceed empowered!
Then I lost everything in a blink of an eye.
I suddenly had a major health crisis, not due to all the balls I was trying to juggle, but the biological rules I have been breaking to ENABLE me to do so. I fell into severe burnout and my hormones were all over the place leaving me with no capacity, severe panic attacks and anxiety, and extremely dysregulated. I found myself in a deep dark hole that was not easy to navigate out of. I tried supplements and protocols, but eventually I learnt that I had to change! My natural vitamin C business evolved into a business that it is today – reclaiming vibrant life – where I teach other female entrepreneurs what they need to do to avoid or recover from burnout and reclaim the vibrant life that was meant for them. Natural Origins currently operates in proud partnership with BizMomCoaching! Two Businesses, home schooling kids and juggling relationships and life is a tall order, but if we work strategically, it can be done! That is what Natural Origins and BizMomCoaching is ALL about!
I had to learn to do things differently! I had to CHANGE. I had to re-assess. I had to be patient in my healing. But I did it! I did the work and now I know what works and what does not. I know what it takes to climb out of the darkest hour of life and elevate yourself into Capacity and true resilience! what a gift. I’ve lived it and now I can teach you how!
Here is what I have overcome by CHANGING my internal and external environment:
- Severe Burnout (I could barely get out of bed or function)
- Severe functional freeze state (I was totally dissociating from my body)
- Severe hormonal havoc (extremely low Progesterone, high Estrogen, Leptin Resistant first low then high)
- PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
- Extreme Panic Attacks
- Extreme Anxiety
- Emotionally Imbalanced
- Depression
- Very dark thoughts and ideations
- Blood Sugar Swings
- Insulin Resistant
- Reactive Hypoglycaemia
- Nightmares
- Helplessness
- Hopelessness
- Spend 1000’s on supplements, tests and countless health professionals just to be told that there is NOTHING WRONG.
- Extreme dependency
- Melasma
- Tinnitus
- Hair thinning
- Iron Dysregulation
There are so many women who build businesses, try their best, give it their all, but fall short with honouring their rhythms, structuring and systemizing their businesses properly. They suffer from burn-out because of being over-worked, overwhelmed, procrastination and frustration becomes the name of the game. This has to change. Entrepreneurship is where my passion lies, Helping women reclaim their Capacity and LIVE fully is my PURPOSE. Breaking free from those chains and to breathe again! Building and growing a business that women can feel passionate about and have full control over. Having more freedom and effectively integrating their business into their life while replenishing and preserving their Energy and reclaiming their RESILIENCE!
