Freelance Mum Event Series & Networking
Freelance Mum was born of my own need, of being a freelance voiceover artist, juggling work around family.
Although I’d been a freelancer all my life, it was a whole new balancing act once children were thrown into the mix.
Previously, I’d been able to attend networking events and make connections for my business, but with two little people in tow, it was impossible.
With limited ‘child-free windows’, time was premium and networking fell along the way side. But I was quite sure I couldn’t be the only ‘freelance mum’ struggling.
Initially Freelance Mum was run in Bristol, but it took Covid to hit, to scale the model.
When we couldn’t meet in person anymore, I launched a weekly online coffee morning, to keep the members connected. And when the world started to wake up, I realised I had a scalable model.
We now have hubs across the UK, run by ‘Freelance Mum Fairies’. They allow mums in business to meet once a month (with or without their children) for a Netwalk, in a business focused setting.
It’s a network and community in every sense.
The Freelance Mum Fairies, all receive training and support from me, when it comes to running their Netwalks.
Plus, as a professional presenter, I still have all the joy of hosting and facilitating my own Netwalks and the weekly online coffee morning.
As a polished, professional, purpose-driven founder, it brings me real joy, to keep growing the Freelance Mum network and support more mums in business. All while using my ‘gifts & talents’ well.
I’m always there to meet and greet every attendee as they arrive, set the tone with an ice breaker, ensure the meetings runs smoothly, introduce the guest speakers and ensure guests are making connections. It’s a packed and well-practiced 2 hours, which needs me to be constantly ‘front of house’ from start to finish.
It provides excellent opportunities for the attendees to gain knowledge, connections and grow their businesses in a supportive environment.
