Welcome 🫶

A very warm welcome to my new baby: Ebbs & Flows.

For the past twelve years, I have been navigating the world of motherhood and career. I have been both employed and self employed. Each come with their own challenges, that leave you questioning “am I doing the right thing?”

Throughout my career, I’ve met some amazing women in business, who usually have the same frustrations surrounding “the juggle”.

There have been tears, frustrations and guilt. But above all, there has been that underlying feeling of pride.

Pride in the fact that we have managed to get the kids dressed, fed and out the door for school. Pride that we can show our children what hard work looks like, whilst still showing up as “mum”. And finally pride, that we are finally accepting we sometimes need some help…

Yup, that one was hard to come to terms with. I like to think I can do it all. Do you? But there are simply too many plates to spin, and an extra pair of hands come in, well, handy!

Every household will look different. But what I want to offer you is a safe space to find support in managing home life and a career. 🫶 I want to see you succeed without burn out.

👋🏻 I’m the mum behind Ebbs & Flows. I hate it when people ask if I prefer “Beth” or “Bethanie”, because I always reply with a garbled “umm, er, I don’t mind?” as if I don’t really know what my name is! But, I really don’t mind and get called both. So whichever you prefer is fine.

🌱I’m a married mum to three and love hiking, writing children’s books and going to the theatre. More than anything else however, I love to travel with my kids and husband. Because of this, I knew it was important for me to build a career that came with some freedom.

🌷My current job role is varied. I’m a marketing manager, digital officer, travel writer and virtual assistant. All freelance and each one just as rewarding as the next. I have been doing this for eight years now.

🤩 I can help with freelance marketing for your business or as a virtual assistant to tackle those awful jobs you just hate to do.

☀️This space is The Working Mum Hub. A monthly membership that gives working mums practical tools, time-saving strategies, emotional support, and child-friendly resources — all in one place.

I have a FREE guide on my website called Getting It All Done. It has weekly and monthly tasks, content plans and meal planning. Hopefully it is useful to you.

And that’s it for now…. I would love to welcome you to my community, but if you aren’t ready to join, there will be occasional free posts for you to enjoy.

Love Bethanie x
