I loved working with children and being a mum myself one day, was one of my biggest ambitions. I went to university as a part time mature student alongside my full time job in a school and graduated with an Early Years degree just before I had my first child. My son, was my priority and just before he was born, I made the decision to become self employed. Music was another passion of mine and I utilised my skills to deliver the music curriculum within nurseries. This worked really well alongside being a mum and it became a very successful business where I could earn an income and work within my own time frame. A few years on, I became pregnant with my second child who sadly only lived until she was two weeks old due to a very rare condition. Life completely changed, and over the course of a few years, I struggled with anxiety and depression. I was blessed with another daughter, and it wasn’t until she was at nursery that I really felt like something was missing. I needed a new purpose, something different to being a mum, something just for me. It was during this time I started to explore work from home opportunities. Bounce enabled me to earn a regular income but gave me so much more than just money. I became part of a great group of people who were all so welcoming and supportive, on a personal level as well as offering business support. Believing in myself, working towards goals and achieving results gave me a confidence I never knew I had. I invested time in self development and began to experience a very different life where I felt stronger, happier and more fulfilled.
