The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
My biggest challenge has been setting up a new business whilst settling into a new country. It’s been tough, but New Zealand is such a wonderful place that it’s been worth it! It also means that I’ve had to be financially cautious, but that’s become a positive as I’ve had to really consider some business decisions rather than just diving in.

For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The pros are definitely that I get to design what life looks like for our family. I get to be present and have as much time with my children as possible. I also love that the work I do positively impacts children and families.
As for cons, I think that being the only person in the business can be tricky to juggle. I do everything myself from the website, content, social media, marketing to admin, as well as working with my clients!

Hopes and dreams: What next?
I’m really excited to launch my Kind+Connected membership in 2024 and I’m really hoping that this will serve as many parents as possible. With that goal in mind, my ultimate dream is to write a parenting book.
