I was interviewed yesterday afternoon for a PR piece celebrating inspirational women, & was asked this question...

"Bianca, you have reached admirable levels of success within what you call #MumpreneurLand, inspiring many women & many more women to come. We would love to know who inspires you?"

My three-part answer came out my mouth with ease, confidence & pride as it has done for many years now, it was...

"Mum-mum is the biggest inspiration to me, she has taught me how to be a strong mummy & a powerful woman in business, why? Because that is who she is... effortlessly!"

The women I meet within my coaching practice & my Mumpreneur tribe say I inspire them... the truth is they are my inspiration!

Finally, I believe the essential fundamentals of Womanhood is having the ability to know that being different is not the key to confidence, but having the ability to simply be you is! When a woman decides to defy the social expectations of who society molds her to be, she becomes a force to be reckoned with. She knows that being her true authentic self creates a confidence that she is able to wear confidently becoming her own icon that shines a light to those who choose to see it. Just like the beautiful Gabrielle Chanel Founder of CHANEL. Her words, her style, & her whole ideology of who a woman is & the power we have, I'm talking about real woman like you & I. 

That is what inspires me.

I love coaching at any time of the day, but there is something quite magical about an evening coaching call with a client that makes my heart smile. Perhaps its the safe space that I create, giving her permission to exhale from the day, be honest with her answering and explore her thoughts. Perhaps it's my relaxed approach to coaching that feels like two girls simply having a chit chat, I don't know. But I do know that the mindset shifts that happened with the women I coached this evening was the start of something new.

Remember, you can release yourself from your past and immediately begin the process of building a new you. What awaits you on the other side of change is joy and power. Supporting women through a season of transformational change is an honor.

I was asked "Bianca, how do you do it? How have you managed to build an empire from the group up, that's grown into more than just a business, it's a brand. Whilst motivating & showing such love & passion to your followers, be present online more than enough to be noticed, raise a beautiful & happy family, a home, & always have a smile on your face! What's your formula Bianca?"

After a long pause, I replied "...babes, come to think of it. I don't know, I guess as Mums we just do....right?" We both laughed & move on, but the fact is she left me amazed, by the very thought of myself. I started to think, you know that deep introspective kind of thinking us mums, women & self-employed thinking were so good at. Then I realised

This is no 'overnight thing', I have been working on my empire, brand... dream continuously & subconsciously since 2009. I spend on average 65% of my day in #MumpreneurLand managing my social media platforms, sourcing content, to inspire, motivate, empower, bring knowledge & support to my followers just like you reading this right now, for free.

I run not only a network that's the main objective is to support Mumpreneurs, but I also host 2 sometimes 3 LIVE events a week to create a platform for Mumpreneurs to learn, grow & develop their businesswoman journey. Daily I Coach my clients who remind me daily, that being a Life & Business Coach is so rewarding & I'm honored to be their chosen Coach. They say I inspire them, the truth is.... they are my inspiration.

Just like you, I think, think again, then rethink some more, about the next move in business, question my decision then question it again. Then get stressed with myself, shed a few tears, then go back to feeling on top of the world again. All in the space of hmm 5 minutes haha...

Just like you, I make millions of wrong moves, decisions & miss opportunities all because of fear.

Just like you, I know as a Mumpreneur it's lonely at the top. I know that at times being self-employed is like searching for water in the desert. I know that it's an overwhelming experience where you are pushed & challenged every minute of every day as you build your brand... & dream.

Just like you, I have lost friends who thought I was too big for my boots when I bravely decided to follow my working dream.

Just like you, I suffer from massive 'Mum guilt' because I have to regularly decide between responding to the children, or responding to a client, follower or my own needs all at the same time!

Just like you, I have to ask myself questions, answer them, then contest them, in order to identify what really is the next best business move haha...

But you know what the saddest thing about it all is my lovely...

Just like you, I have never really stopped to think about all I do, & even give myself a little pat on the back for it. Why? WELL because it's just what we do right? & we always just make it happen.

Because the truth is. Having said all that, daily there are a million more of amazing, rewarding, moments of pride, happiness, can't keep the smile off your face joy, inner joy that warms your heart joy that brings a sense of fulfillment & confidence. That make the very same people who probably laughed at you because they didn't understand why you decided to follow your dream. Now ask you how you did it.

So for those of you reading this, & who follow me thinking "... blimey, how does Bianca do it?" I want you to know this, I'm not amazing, together we are amazing. Because just like you my lovely, I'm walking the same path, experiencing the same punches this journey of Mumpreneur life has to throw. Yet just like you, I still haven't given up.

Why? Because this is what we do, & we are doing it brilliantly.

Supporting, empowering, motivating, mums & Mumpreneurs is my life's calling, & I'm honored to respond to the call. Remember my lovely, you are Amazing, & your doing a great job. So go ahead & give yourself a little pat on the back. You deserve it.

As women, we are often taught to feel so much shame about everything — from the way we look to the way we mother (or don’t), to the way we handle our finances & career.

Take a moment to stop the negative shame spiral & tell yourself the truth: You are good enough. You are worthy of love and respect. You are doing the best you can.

I absolutely adore being a Mumpreneurs Business Clarity Coach. There is something very humbling about being trusted to support a woman, on her journey of fulfillment & development, reconnecting with her signature self.

Today I'm spending the day meeting with two of my Clients that are coming to the end of the coaching program with me. And I'm so excited to share with them, my Butterfly Cards. That invited them to confidently connect with all the positive characteristics & personal attributes that encompass who they are.

This is always such a calming & beautiful 1:1 session. I can't wait!

I think it’s brave.

I think it’s brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for a rest.

I think it’s brave that you keep on living, even if you don’t know how to anymore.

I think it’s brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight.

I know there are days when you feel like giving up but.

I think it’s brave that you never do...

I shared this with a client yesterday, it gave her the chance to see things from a different perspective as her perception of herself was low. After a little talk with me, her life coach, her safe person. She was able to reframe her situation, & find the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other. So for anyone who found today hard... this is for you too.

As you prepare for the day ahead remember to #Believe in yourself! You are smarter than you know, & special in more ways than you give yourself credit for.

There are billions of people that make up this big wide world that we live in, but there is only one uniquely made you.

Every small step is a step, just keep going forward and don't look back, because you are not going that way babe.
