COMING IN SEPTEMBER 2021

Hiya!
I'm Helen. I started MGF 8 years ago when my 3rd baby (a boy!) was just 14 days old. The short story is that I'd already had 2 girls and wanted to start a Facebook group to buy boys stuff and sell girls clothes in (hence the name Mummy's Gin Fund).
The long story is that I was suffering from massive PTSD after the premature birth of my second girl. I was traumatised and lonely and a bit of a mess. So by building the buy and sell group, I actually built the community I wished I'd had when she was born (hence our battle cry #nomumleftbehind).
Fast forward a few years and history is repeating itself. I've now got 4 kids and 3 businesses and a job (I know... I know...). and it turns out that the PTSD I thought I'd buried hadn't actually gone anywhere. So, chuck in a ridiculous amount of work (think 50 hours a week) and a pandemic and my slightly dodgy mental health packed up and I had a breakdown. I worked myself into a massive burnout situation where Mr Gin had to dress me and carry me to the car so I could leave the house - it was UGLY and painful and horrible and I'm determined that no other business owners, freelancers or self-employed people are going to go through the same thing.
This isn't a get-rich-quick-6-figure-guru group - this is us, running our businesses our way - but together. Let's just say, I had the breakdown so you don't have to!
Cheers, Helen :)
Get everything you miss about being in a team - without having to go back to work!
