Mother Tongue

When becoming a mother, we quite often find ourselves reassessing areas of our life, one rather large one being our career. In this episode, we speak to The Chill Mom whom found herself wanting more after trading in a busy and successful career to become a stay at home mum. In need of something to focus her mind on, regain independence and restore a little balance in to her life, Michelle Hon embarked on a journey that has lead her to becoming a much happier mom and a very successful ‘Mumpreneur’. Mother of three, business owner and author, Michelle shares her story, whilst striving to support and empower other women to achieve their full potential, all whilst being the best mother they can be.
