From Corporate Life to Tech Specialist: The Story Behind This Mum Loves Tech and Building a Flexible Business

When I left my career in children’s publishing to focus on my family, I had no idea where the journey would take me. Starting my business wasn’t about tech—it was about finding a flexible way to work around my kids. But through plenty of trial and error, and a pivotal Google and Yahoo authentication update, I discovered how much I could help other mums simplify tech and grow their businesses.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind This Mum Loves Tech—the challenges, the wins, and how it’s grown into a supportive space for mums navigating the tech side of running a business.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

✨ Why I left corporate life and how I started my business from scratch.

✨ The ups and downs of balancing family life and entrepreneurship.

✨ How a small email authentication update changed everything for my business.

✨ My passion for helping mums feel confident using tech to grow their businesses.
