I never expected to become a stay-at-home mum.

Truthfully, I thought I’d always be “doing more”. Building. Achieving. Being it all at the same.

But after burnout, motherhood and completely re-evaluating what I wanted my life to feel like… everything shifted.

And while I genuinely love being home with my boys, I also think we need to be more honest about the parts of being a SAHM people don’t talk about enough:

The identity loss. The financial stretch. The mental load. The loneliness some days. The feeling of wanting something that belongs to YOU again.

Not because motherhood isn’t enough. But because you’re still a whole person too.

Finding a way to build income from my phone during nap times and evenings changed so much for me. Not just financially, but mentally. I feel challenged again. Motivated again. Like I’m building a future for my family without sacrificing these years with my children.

If you’re on maternity leave or navigating SAHM life and quietly wondering if there could be another way to do this…

You’re not the only one 🌿

DM me “CURIOUS” if you want to chat honestly about what I’ve been building and what this could do for you

The internet talks about stay-at-home mums like we’re all softly lit trad wives baking banana bread in matching linen sets all day…. IF ONLY 🤣

Meanwhile most of us are surviving on one income, reheating the same cup of coffee 4 times, carrying the entire mental load of the household and running on an overstimulated nervous system.

Motherhood is beautiful. But let’s stop pretending it isn’t also relentless sometimes.

To be honest, I realised pretty quickly that I didn’t just want to ‘get through’ these years. I wanted motherhood to feel more expansive. More spacious. More supported.

That’s why I started building income from my phone during nap times. Tiny pockets of work that now help create more choice, more breathing room, and little luxuries that make life feel softer without sacrificing being present with my kids.

Not because I want to escape motherhood.
Because I want to enjoy it more (and outsource the washing!) 🌿✨

I think more Mums NEED to hear this about network marketing.

People are quick to judge it… and throw terms like ‘pyramid scheme’ around (which by the way, are illegal!) but when you actually look at the structure of most traditional workplaces, they’re literally built like pyramids too!!

At your workplace is there:
A small number of people at the top
Managers in the middle
Employees at the bottom keeping everything running

So the difference between traditional jobs and network marketing?

In most traditional jobs:

🌿your income is capped
🌿your schedule is generally dictated
🌿progression takes years
🌿you’re often building somebody else’s dream (on a 2% annual pay rise if you’re lucky)
🌿capped annual leave and permission required

What shocked me about network marketing was how supportive it actually was, and that every single person who joins has the same opportunity to succeed.

🌿you don’t need business experience
🌿you can earn whatever you want to
🌿you can work whenever/wherever you want
🌿you don’t need loads of money to start (I started with £66!)
🌿you’re surrounded by people actively WANTING to help you succeed because your growth benefits everyone
🌿there’s no targets or pressure (in my business anyway!)

That by no means makes this easy.

It’s still a business, it still takes consistency, people skills, resilience & time.

But for Mums especially? The flexibility and potential can genuinely change lives - it opened a door for me id been searching for for years.

Being able to work around naps, nursery mornings, school runs and family life instead of trying to squeeze family around work… that matters.

And honestly (THANKFULLY) I think more women are waking up to the fact that there might be another way to build income without burning themselves into the ground.

That’s why I started, at 8 weeks postpartum. Because respectfully, I’m not giving the best of years of my life to build someone else’s dream 🌿✨

Dreaming of starting that hobby or project but you’re too exhausted.

Wishing you could spend more time with your kids, maybe home school, but it’s home, dinner, bath and bed - for the whole family.

Visions of travel and up and going anytime you want only you’re still building someone else’s dream.

It’s the Sunday dread stealing joy and precious moments from time that should be yours.

Because this the real price tag. When people are earning and exceeding their full time wage by working from their phone, you are still sitting there wondering when things will get easier.

Well, they just did. If you’re ready to stop paying that price, joining my Tropic business could be your starting point. No huge investment, no stock, no targets just a real flexible income built around your life. Drop me a DM and let’s chat 🌿

I started this to make a bit more cash in maternity leave.

And then I helped someone else start. And it started to snowball. Now I’ve got a team and we’re building TOGETHER.

It became not just about earning. It became about leading. It became about helping other Women feel empowered about how, where, when and how money they want to make, what dream they want to build, too.

This is the part I didn’t see coming

If you want to be part of what we’re building here, message me ‘OPEN’, because the door is open

It melts, softens, restores — and over time, your skin responds in kind.

This is the balm of balms.

And it sets the standard for everything that follows.

Not every woman joins Tropic to “build a business”.

And that’s exactly why it works.

It’s about asking “What can Tropic do for you?”

Some start by saving on the products they already love.

Some share naturally and earn along the way.

Some go on to build something bigger — in their own time.

This isn’t about labels.

It’s about alignment.

The average women absorbs over 200 chemicals through her skin before she’s even finished morning coffee. And most of them are toxins.

Research shared by breast cancer charities shows that 95% of cases are caused by environmental factors, with huge links to the endocrine disruptors found in bodycare, haircare, skincare and makeup, meaning YOU have the power to dramatically change your chances of developing breast cancer by swapping what you put in, on and around your body. Only 5% of cases in studies conducted found that breast cancer was in face genetic.

Ladies, we have to take charge of our own health and this is just one of many reasons why I became a Tropic ambassador.

I’m on a mission to get everyone I come into contact with glowing without compromise on their health.

Tropic makeup and skincare is made from naturally derived ingredients by a founder who puts health before anything else.

Our Tropic 20% off makeup sale ends tomorrow and I can help you find the right products for you as well as colour match. We have incredible freebies with our money saving bundles as well as skincare minis free with every purchase over £100.
