How to Start a Business as a Stay-at-Home Mum (Without Childcare or a 9–5 Routine) with Fiona Sim
Ever wondered how some mums manage to run a business with no childcare, no office and no real routine?
In this powerful episode of The Growth Addicts Podcast, Amanda sits down with Fiona Sim, a certified business strategist and home-educating mum of two, who teaches stay-at-home mums how to start and grow an online business around their lives, not the other way around.
Whether you’re a mum struggling to find time, thinking “there’s no way I could start a business right now,” or you’ve tried before and hit a wall—this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.
In this episode, we cover:
- Fiona’s unique business journey (including memory bears and sewing machines 🧵)
- The truth about launching a business with your kids around 24/7
- The START Framework Fiona uses to help mums go from overwhelmed to launching
- Tips for beating mum guilt, managing energy, and finding hidden time in your day
- Why childcare shouldn’t be a barrier to financial independence or fulfilment
- How to plan using a “pen & paper + sand timer” method that actually works
- The real talk around mum-life, home ed, and doing business in 10-minute bursts
- Practical strategies for overcoming overwhelm and procrastination (yes, even with toddlers climbing on you!)
