LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE POST TODAY!
I had been nominated for the South Norfolk Community Awards 2026, Business in the Community, presented to Norwich Carpet Cleaning & Upholstery.
The nomination recognises something I have always held at the absolute heart of this business; creating a genuinely safe, comfortable space for customers when they invite us into their homes. Having a stranger in your home is a big deal. It takes trust. From day one, I have worked hard to make sure every single customer feels respected, heard, and completely at ease, and to know that has been seen and acknowledged by the community means everything to me.
Running a carpet cleaning business as a parent is no small thing. There are school runs, sick days, last-minute changes, and the constant juggle of being fully present for your children while also showing up professionally for your customers. I built this business around my family, not the other way around, and I am so proud of what we have created together.
And if that was not enough to process this week... I have also been nominated for Female Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 with both Muddy Stilettos and the SBA for the Coaching business.
But here is the thing, I know so many parents out there are running businesses (or dreaming of starting one) and feeling completely overwhelmed, stretched thin, and on the edge of burnout. I have been there. That is exactly why, alongside the cleaning business, I also run a coaching business specifically for parent entrepreneurs; helping you build and grow your business without sacrificing your sanity or your family life.
You do not have to do this the hard way.
If you are ready to start running your business as a parent, without the stress and burnout, I would love to talk.
