I was in a very difficult place when my journey with Digital Mums started.

I was working for a company that quite frankly made me miserable, I was so unhappy that I had to take 6 weeks off with stress, I was looking for something that could help me get out of this situation, I was doing a small amount of free lance social media management SMM for a local company and this was the only thing I enjoyed.. I noticed on Facebook this was coming up, Mums Enterprise Roadshow in Solihull I took the day off work and went along on my own for the day, I listened to other women who had become self employed giving great advice I wandered around the stands and one of the very last stands made my eyes light up it was a Digital Mums stand with ladies who had taken the courses and where now successful in Social Media Management, I spent about 30 mins talking to a lovely lady once I had all the info I needed, I knew THIS was what I wanted to do, however I didn't have the money to pay for the course :( so I decided to see how much money I could raise to make this happen! I went to the company who I was doing some SMM for, this payed off and I was able to pay for half the course with their sponsorship, my amazing Mum helped with the rest (there are other ways to pay for this course you would need to speak to Digital Mums about this).

This is how my learning journey started.


I started my course in February 2018, I couldn't wait to start and I wasn't disappointed when I did, one of the first things you do is meet up (Google Hangouts a bit like skype) with your cohort — these are the ladies you will be going on your study journey with and my goodness they are the backbone of the course ..the support you all give each other is exactly what I needed as I felt low in confidence, I can't say it has been an easy 6 months and it's been tough finding the time to complete the course, this was definitely the hardest part for me, however here I am, writing about my Journey and I made it…. with the help of all my lovely Feb 2018 Cohorts and Digital Mums I made it and I couldn't be happier, I have achieved all this as single mum of two growing boys, who also works, I did it!!! I'm so proud of myself and all the the people that have helped me get here, to this point.

I'm not sure what the future holds yet, but my next step is doing the “Hustle” a weeks course with Digital Mums this is included with the course and helps you to get out there and start using your skills before you talk yourself out of doing it!


THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU, I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT ANY OF YOU!!
