#28: When business is the cure with Sally Bunkham

Welcome back to The Ideal Life Club Podcast. When Sally Bunkham launched Mum’s Back, a gift hamper company focusing on New Mum’s, she wanted to focus on all the delicious treats that we have to avoid during pregnancy, but more than that, Sally wanted to launch a social enterprise that raised awareness of postnatal depression, something that she herself suffered from. In our interview you’ll hear how passionate Sally is about breaking down the stigma of mental health issues, how starting Mums Back became a kind of ‘creative cure’ to help her cope with the feeling of losing her identity when she became a Mum and the steps she took to start her business without investing a ton of money upfront. Sally also opens up about the guilt she struggles with, shares how important having a business coach was for her, how she finally started being visible in her business and a particular way of planning her work which keeps her productive with less pressure. Finally as the queen of PR, Sally shares some killer tips for getting your business visible in the media. As always you’ll find all the links for connecting with Sally in the shownotes at michellereevescoaching.com/listen The Ideal Life Club Podcast is taking a mini-break for August and will be back in September with more amazing guests and tips for living your ideal life.
