Meet Sam | Connection, Community & Head Cheerleader

Building a Community Where No Mum is Left Behind ๐Ÿ’–

As our Head of Community & Partnerships (but that sounds boring so aka Head Cheerleader for Mums), Sam is passionate about creating authentic, welcoming spaces where mums feel valued and supported. ๐ŸŒˆ With years of experience as a teacher, support worker, and counsellor, she brings compassion and expertise to fostering connections. Samโ€™s vision is to make Mamma Mingle a household name in the ACT and beyond, championing community and belonging for mums. ๐Ÿ’• A proud multicultural Aussie, Defence wife, and mum to a son on earth ๐ŸŒ, a daughter in the stars ๐ŸŒŸ, and a fur-child ๐Ÿพ, Sam is here to cheer you on! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi, Iโ€™m Sam,

Iโ€™m a passionate advocate for mothers and families, dedicated to creating supportive and welcoming spaces through Mamma Mingle and TLCco Store initiatives. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿค

Inspired by my own journey through motherhood, I understand the challenges and joys that come with parenting. ๐Ÿผโœจ 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. ๐Ÿ’• I believe in the power of perspective, often reminding myself to see things from the views of others (especially my sonโ€™s view on those particularly exhausting days). This mindset helps me navigate the ups and downs of motherhood and life. ๐ŸŒˆ

I have a husband, Sam (yes, we are Sam-squared ๐Ÿ˜‰), and Iโ€™m a mother to two human childrenโ€”a daughter in the stars ๐ŸŒŸ and a son on earth ๐ŸŒโ€”as well as one fur-child ๐Ÿพ. I enjoy at least two lattes a day (usually lukewarm at best โ˜•) and have absolutely no guilt about watching TV after my sonโ€™s bedtime to enjoy some well-deserved downtime. ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’ค

My experiences growing up in a multicultural family ๐ŸŒ and spending several years as a Defence wife have given me valuable insight into the vast diversity of families. ๐Ÿซถ 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. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซโค๏ธ

Whatโ€™s 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. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿค 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. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ’ž

I aim to be a reliable, authentic, and supportive presence in my family and friends circle, as well as within the Mamma Mingle community. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’–.
