Hi, Iโm Sam,
Iโm a passionate advocate for mothers and families, dedicated to creating supportive and welcoming spaces through Mamma Mingle and TLCco Store initiatives. ๐๐ค
Inspired by my own journey through motherhood, I understand the challenges and joys that come with parenting. ๐ผโจ My personal experiences in becoming a mother, including overcoming health struggles and profound loss, have shaped my mission to support other mums and ensure that every mother feels valued and welcomed in the community. ๐ I believe in the power of perspective, often reminding myself to see things from the views of others (especially my sonโs view on those particularly exhausting days). This mindset helps me navigate the ups and downs of motherhood and life. ๐
I have a husband, Sam (yes, we are Sam-squared ๐), and Iโm a mother to two human childrenโa daughter in the stars ๐ and a son on earth ๐โas well as one fur-child ๐พ. I enjoy at least two lattes a day (usually lukewarm at best โ) and have absolutely no guilt about watching TV after my sonโs bedtime to enjoy some well-deserved downtime. ๐บ๐ค
My experiences growing up in a multicultural family ๐ and spending several years as a Defence wife have given me valuable insight into the vast diversity of families. ๐ซถ With over 12 years of experience as a primary school teacher, support worker, and school counsellor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and empathy to my work with mums and families. ๐ฉโ๐ซโค๏ธ
Whatโs my Mamma Mingle vision?
With a vision for Mamma Mingle to become a household name among mothers and family support services in the ACT and beyond, I am highly driven to foster authentic, sensitive, and welcoming connections amongst the Mamma community. ๐๐ค I see Mamma Mingle as a place that embodies the spirit of community and connection for all mums, whether experienced or new to the world of motherhood. ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐
I aim to be a reliable, authentic, and supportive presence in my family and friends circle, as well as within the Mamma Mingle community. ๐๐.
