Like me, and a lot of mums I know, Charlie’s transition from ‘ambitious career woman’ to ‘mum’ wasn’t easy. And for both of us, maybe you too, it meant that we didn’t enjoy those early mum days as much as we could have. We were too worried about other people’s perceptions about our commitment and drive. Now, Charlie has really leant into motherhood - she says that it was ‘owning’ motherhood, investing in her relationships (everyone needs a sleepover club!) that made the difference.  Charlie has achieved some amazing things, but is really honest about the journey. Partnerships with household names don’t happen overnight! But, another mum with a mission, Babbu’s purpose is their guiding light. If you’re struggling with mum guilt, feeling judged for your parenting decisions, or you’re starting a tech business with no tech experience, Charlie has some wisdom that you’ll want to hear. Listen in for: Charlie’s business journey up to Babbu. How personal it felt to close a business previously The entrepreneurial model set by both Charlie’s parents (as I said on the pod, it’s rare that we get a guest whose mum was also a business owner!) Why people start businesses, and which category Charlie falls into How pregnancy coloured her experience of being a business owner and vice versa The judgement Charlie felt as a mum for working, even though it was so important for her as an individual The Babbu experience - raising money, the Children in Need partnership How important it is to be honest about the journey when it can sometimes seem like everyone is an overnight success  The mission and purpose with Babbu, how this guides partnerships and business decisions Mum guilt, ‘balance’ finding your tribe as a parent and investing in relationships Tips for launching a tech business with no tech experience  Links: Website: www.bumptobusinessowner.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bumptobusinessowner/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinepooley/   About Charlie Rosier: Charlie Rosier is passionate about advocating for children’s mental health, family well-being, early years' education and gender equality.
