Dear Mompreneurs: Give Yourself the Gift You Truly Deserve

For the incredible mompreneurs juggling family life and running a business, the pressure can be even greater.


Research shows that 68% of mothers report feeling anxiety, with over 35% experiencing moderate to severe levels. Among entrepreneurs, 63% admit they've struggled with burnout, while 59% report dealing with significant anxiety.


When you combine the responsibilities of both motherhood and entrepreneurship, it's easy to see how the mental load can become overwhelming. Without intentional self-care, stress and burnout aren’t just risks — they become almost inevitable.


That’s why now is the perfect time to acknowledge the incredible work you do — and to give yourself one of the most important gifts: the gift of slowing down and prioritising your wellbeing.


Redefining Self-Care for Mompreneurs

Self-care isn’t about pampering yourself once a year; it’s about ongoing, meaningful practices that protect your health and happiness. As Moira Lawler from Everyday Health explains, true self-care ensures you stay well enough to live fully, work productively, and nurture your relationships.


As a busy mompreneur, this could mean making time for proper meals, exercise, quality sleep, or simply allowing yourself some breathing space amid a packed schedule.


Neglecting Self-care Invites Burnout

Burnout doesn’t just sap your energy — it can damage your physical health, strain your relationships, and leave you feeling hopeless and disconnected from everything you once loved.


On the other hand, when you prioritise your needs and recharge your energy, you return to your roles — both as a mum and a business owner — with renewed strength, clarity, and joy.


Self-Care Strategies for Mompreneurs

Here are a few ways to start creating space for yourself, even in a busy season:


1. Build Your Village

Being an entrepreneur can sometimes feel isolating. Surround yourself with people who understand you, support you, and lift you up — whether that’s friends, family, or a community of fellow mompreneurs.


2. Nurture Your Relationships

Strong personal relationships are essential for emotional resilience. After all, letting personal connections weaken due to business demands can create a negative spiral. Invest time in your loved ones. Healthy relationships fuel your wellbeing — and your business success too.


3. Set Boundaries Without Guilt

Create clear lines between work life and family life. Protect your time by setting office hours, turning off notifications, and learning to say no when necessary. Balance isn't found — it's created through intentional choices.


4. Take Care of Your Body

Sleep, nutritious food, and physical movement are the pillars of sustained energy and mood. Even small steps — like walking outdoors for ten minutes a day or swapping one meal for a healthier option — can make a real difference.


5. Find Moments of Calm

Quick, simple practices like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing help lower stress levels and strengthen your ability to bounce back from challenges. Even a few mindful minutes each day can refresh your mind and body.


Give Yourself the Gift of Wellbeing

Taking time for your wellbeing isn’t selfish — it’s the foundation that enables you to show up fully in every part of your life.


If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, anxious, or burned out, it’s time to make yourself a priority again — not just for a day, but for the journey ahead.
