FINDING YOUR WHY
So Biz Mums, it’s SUCH an exciting time for us. The term mumpreneur is well and truly cemented in society’s vocabulary and we should all give ourselves a giant pat on the back for being part of the movement. YAY us! In saying that though, hands up if you feel like you’re squeezing more in than ever before? Hands up if your whole life is in your diary and you feel the strain to constantly juggle life, business, motherhood, work, being a wife and trying to maintain something resembling a social life? YUP, my hands are UP.
That’s why it’s so important to figure out WHY you do what you do and remain authentic. It’s SO EASY to loose sight of the bigger picture and get bogged down in the details. I know my WHY is of course, my family but for me my WHY is YOU. No jokes peeps, it is you. I want to help as many biz mums as possible, I want you to kick butt, hustle hard and pretty much ROCK at everything you do. So thank you for being my WHY and pushing me to achieve more each and everyday.
This week, I’m joined by Kara Vaina who is one incredible half of the biz Keopha. She is a biz mum with a strong passion for creating memories, mindfulness, achieving life goals but more importantly, to inspiring people to achieve more in life and find their OWN happiness. Together with her biz partner, she is the creator of My MindFULL Year, the ultimate planner for hustling’ mamas, geared at personal growth.

Kara comes to us with a WEALTH of knowledge having worked in a variety of industries like Human Resources, Corporate Travel AND she even had her own online clothing store for little dudes. When she’s not tied up in all things Keopha, she’s knee deep in #mumlife chasing after her two little boys aged 6 and 23 months.
