​Hi! I'm Ashlynn. If you’re new here, you might be wondering who I am and why I do what I do.​​

​​​

The PROFESSIONAL. The truth is... I fell into coaching. In my early career, I tried a lot of things. I enjoyed writing and editing, and helping my family and friends with their resumes. One thing led to another, and even though I wasn't aiming for it, I fell in love with helping people find their next step in their careers, and I've been doing this for nearly a decade.

​

The MUM. I worked on my coaching business part-time while my husband and I raised two amazing kids. And while parenthood has been a joy, it's not without significant challenges - challenges that I'm sure you are well acquainted with. 

I’m not just talking about  2:00 AM feeds, constant exhaustion, financial stress, and middle-of-the-store tantrums.​ I’m also talking about all my relationships changing once kids came along. About navigating modern conversations around screen time limits and cyberbullying. About comparing myself to mum-fluencers, and mentally punishing myself for yelling at my kids or being on my phone too much around them. I’m talking about the RELENTLESS mental pressure and my inability to ask for HELP.

​

The FAIL. The global pandemic put a dent in my business. AI drowned it. But the biggest thing standing in the way of my success? ME. I didn't put any time, effort, or brain power into pushing myself to learn more about running a business sustainably or meaningfully. There were bills to pay, hungry mouths to feed, and the ever-rising cost of living to combat - and suddenly, I needed to find a "real job". I felt like a failure.

​

The IDEA. Something needed to change. Fortunately, I knew exactly what I needed to do to get a job - and it WORKED (the Mums2Work program features many of the exact strategies I used to successfully land a part-time job in 2025). I also knew what I needed to do to revitalise my business - ask for help. So I did, and what I learned was that I needed to find "my people", the ones whom I could help, AND the ones I was excited to help. I knew that my experience as a working mum could help other mums and make their lives just a little bit easier. 

​

The PURPOSE. I’m here to tell you that I HEAR you. The struggle is real. And I’m sharing my story because I want you to know that the way forward is through. There IS a life after returning to work, and it can be fulfilling and still leave time for the important things (you and your family).

​​​​

If any of this has resonated with you, please reach out. Tell me what your motherhood journey has been like so far. What are you most anxious about for your return to work? What HELP do you need? I can't wait to hear from you.
