About Motivated Mums
Motivated Mums purpose
"The future depends on what we do in the present" Mahatma Ghandi
'Motivated Mums' was founded in 2006 and is a subsidiary of 'Sam Skull Wellbeing Solutions' (www.samskull.com).
The purpose of Motivated Mums is to provide holistic solutions to empower and help mums to find their sparkle again - so mums can see how they 'make a difference' in their lives by believing in and balancing themselves, enabling them to feel good and live happy, healthy, fun-loving, harmonious lives together as a family, as couples and individually.
Motivated Mums is also aware of the pressures mums may face, and therefore feels that it is important to recognise mums who make a difference - in both their lives and the lives of those around them. See the 'Mums who make a difference' section of this site for more about this.
Why was Motivated Mums created?
Everyone warns when you become a mum you change, but you don’t realise how much. Sam feels now, with hindsight, she has actually changed for the better. However, it has taken her a while to feel like that, because initially Sam completely lost herself when she became a mum and that was not a feeling she enjoyed. So she was determined to create and develop a process that would help her to find herself again.
Thankfully, Sam is bouncing back again and it feels great, that’s when she asked herself how she could help other mums to also get that sparkle back. Sam does not see any reason why we have to wait until the children have left home until we can find ourselves. Sam feels the mum’s are the key role to holding the family happiness together, if they are happy you tend to find in the majority of cases that their children and husbands/partners are happy too. That’s why Sam is passionate about helping them to do so, through ‘Motivated Mum Workshops’ and additional services.
Sam's Profile
If you can dream it you can believe it and if you believe it you can achieve it (Sam's personal/business motto)
Sam trained to be a coach in 2001 after clearing out everything in her personal and professional life that she was unhappy with (relationships, career, home environment) and started all over again. Then she wondered how she could help others to be happy with their lives; that is when she found life coaching.
Sam has been providing one to one and group coaching since 2002. Sam is a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, which means Sam can program her client’s minds to think in a positive way and get rid of negative beliefs and replace them with positive, enhancing thoughts to take with them through life.
Sam has always been somebody that has been very determined to achieve what she desires, but Sam never realised that you have to balance yourself, otherwise you burn out and that’s what Sam did 3 weeks before her wedding in 2004 and as a result was hospitalised and nearly missed the wedding. Shortly after her honeymoon Sam was pregnant and then became a mum and another new chapter began.
Since then Sam has been through some phenomenal changes. Her approach to life is very holistic and Sam is able to achieve so much more. Sam has let go of control, she goes with the flow and is at peace with herself and others, which is a lovely place to be. So that’s why Sam is passionate about teaching this way of living, it’s so much easier than rush, rush!
Ironically, before Sam started her own family, the majority of her client base was actually parents trying to find themselves again, so therefore her purpose was and now is helping mums to sparkle again.
In addition, Sam also has a background (over 12 years) implementing the coaching principles and practices through her various roles in her previous corporate career including client relationship management, business management, operations management, service management and consulting.
Sam excels in helping her clients to realize their goals and achieve personal growth. Sam is motivational, compassionate, caring, direct, supportive, powerful, quick to the core issue, honest, inspiring, vibrant, innovative and intuitive.
