The Balanced Mum

Hello you lovely lot! My latest #blog talks about my #careerchange from the Corporate world to freelancing in #socialmedia and from now on, I’m going to be more active on my other account. If you’d like to stay connected, I’ll be over at @kathrynclarke27! @TheBalancedMum/time-for-a-new-adventure-dbbe307cf34c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@TheBalancedMu…

@DigitalMumsHQ 100%!

@balanced_mum Sometimes that’s all you need - encouragement from a fellow mum. When you stop to think about it, it just goes to show how brave (& amazing) mums are and stepping out of their comfort zones to make change.

Jumping on👇 to shout my pledge of support to all #mums who want to #learn something new but are feeling too scared to do it 🥺. Heading into the big 4-0 was a scary time to start #learning again but it’s been life-changing! If you want it - go for it! You’ve got this! 💪#LearnIn

@DigitalMumsHQ My pleasure! And I totally agree - I was finally given the push I needed by another mum who had made a #careerchange ahead of me and she encouraged me when I thought I couldn’t do it! 💪🙌 #lockedoutoflearning

@balanced_mum Thanks for sharing your story and for pledging support to other mums who might be #lockedoutoflearning - sometimes you need to hear from others who’ve been through something to spur you on. 🙏

Last week we launched our new #LockedOutOfLearning report and this week, we're looking at the specific barriers to #learning that mums face. Tonight we're sharing a recap of the themes covered so far⬇️but stay tuned for more! And please share to raise awareness and support🙏

@DigitalMumsHQ @Freelance_UK I definitely recognise the laptop and coffee cup for company scenario! 🤣🤣

Unlike starting a new job in an office, your first day working as a #freelancer may not be as friendly or sociable - you might just have a laptop and coffee mug for company! Here are some tips from @Freelance_UK for how to stay happy. #freelancingtips freelanceuk.com/news/16562-how…

I have found that I have learnt so much about parenting from being on social media and I wanted to know if others have had the same experience. Have you found social media helpful in your parenting journey? Pls RT and share thoughts/ comments #mindfulparenting

@cakevscales These look amazing though... totally worth it!

Last year I started using #meditation apps when I was struggling to switch off and I’ve fallen in love with sleep stories. What tools or techniques could you share with others that have made a difference to your self-care routine? #Selfcare

Let’s start the week as we mean to go on 🙌 #selfcare #timeforyourself
