Nothing beats beaing your own boss! Don't get me wrong, its no easy ride and it has its challenges, but on the whole nothing beats the autonomy, the freedom and the joy. I'm the first to admit Mimi's was an accidental business. It started when I baked my daughters birthday cake some 12 years ago, se...

I was so incredibly excited to become a mum. I was so in love with my unborn child way before she arrived. I had this picture in my head of my husband and I and our beautiful baby living our happy ever after. That wasn't my reality unfortunately. I admit I changed during my pregnancy, gone was the the social butterfly, with endless parties and dinner invitations, replaced overnight by a homebody, nesting and trying to creating the picture perfect home for her child. Unfortunately, Maya's father wasn't ready for that change and it started to cause a divide. Maya forced herself into the world almost 8 weeks early, she was like a tiny sparrow who fit in her fathers hand. I was besotted with her the moment I saw her! I finally understood when people said they would do anything for their child, what they meant and I vowed to protect her. Coming from a single parent family I knew the struggles my mum had faced raising two children single handily and I also understood how the absence of a father affects children. Choosing to walk away from my marriage was not a decision I took lightly! For a long time after, I felt I had failed my daughter and then I had that 'Ah-ha' moment, I wasn't a failure, I was her role model, it was my responsibility to teach her to value her worth, then add VAT to it!! I dust myself off, put on my super hero cape and started a new chapter. Hear my story and those of my tribe of supermums!!

40 is such a milestine. I recall walking into it with some trepidation and some excitement. My life wasn't where i'd imagined it to be be, it was definately going to be a turning point in my life. It proved to be just that!!. I'd lost my identity, I was somebody's mum, I was somebody's daughter, I was somebdy's ex-wife, but I wasn't seen as me. I found myself in my forties. I found my purpose, my confidence, my motivation and my spirituality, as did my friends. Hear our stories. Sital Nakarja Nelam Sohal

Let me introduce myself, I’m Tejal Bathia, I’m a fifty-year-old single mum with a myriad of life experiences that will either make your toes curl or make you howl with laughter. You name it; marriage, divorce, motherhood, illness, bereavement, homelessness, anxiety, spirituality, career, business, dating - I’ve been there, done that!! I’ve felt broken, isolated, vulnerable, lonely, inspired, motivated and challenged.
I’ve met some incredible people along the way and some, well let’s just say, were lessons that needed to be learnt. Trust me when I say I have more baggage than Heathrow! I like to think I’m an intelligent woman and schooled in the university of life. I am going to share my story alongside real life stories from other women with similar experiences.
