from a mother to another
You are not alone.
Here at Mum Love CIC we’re working towards a fairer future for mums. To drive positive change for parents. We know it won’t be easy, and we know it will take time. Which is why some parts of our website aren’t quite ready yet. Right now we need mums from across the UK to tell us about their experiences, so that we can accurately represent the truth and make sure that Mum Love is informed by you, our readers, real mums. That way we can ensure we’re providing the information that mums really want and need. So we’ve created this survey to help us understand more about you, to help build the foundations of Mum Love, and we’d really appreciate your input. If you’re interested in sharing your story (and please don’t hold back!) or just want to get involved with the Mum Love mission then please sign up to our mailing list here.
Mum Love is founded by Georgie, a self-employed mum who didn’t take maternity leave. In choosing to keep that part of herself, she found herself divided between two worlds; experiencing identity crisis, guilt, and a pervading sense of loss. She relied on the 4am doom scroll to find a reason for these feelings and failed – until she started speaking to other mums. Inspired by these mums’ unique stories, many of whom said they had lost their “mojo” or “drive,” or felt like a “bad mum,” Georgie founded Mum Love to provide answers, an always-there community, and a lifeline for other mums.
This website is shaped by real lived experience and will evolve as their daughters grow, while supporting and listening to other mums on their own journeys.
Imagine this: a coffee shop where there’s enough space to wheel your buggy through the door. Your baby is screaming, but so is everybody else’s – and nobody minds. Instead of overpriced lattes, the sign behind the counter reads ‘free tea and coffee’. You help yourself and as you do, get talking to another mum – she’s holding a toddler with tears and snot running down their face. It feels familiar. You feel at home. There are other mums walking around, chatting, some jiggling babies on their hip, some breastfeeding on soft sofas. There’s a huge, colourful rug on the floor with kids lying on their tummies, drawing and giggling. It’s loud. Comfortably loud. A sign on one table reads ‘career advice drop-in zone’ and there is a woman with a laptop talking to another woman holding her preschooler’s teddy in one hand and rocking the buggy with her other. They are both smiling, and you start to smile too.
This is our vision.
As working parents ourselves we know the juggle is real, and we’re here to help. We are working on creating a welcoming shared space for mums, a community hub in an accessible location where mums can bring their kids and get free career advice from mentors, career coaches and other working mums. Most importantly? There will be free tea and coffee and someone always there to listen, whatever you want to talk about – whether that’s as simple as a stubborn nappy rash, or as nuanced as post-maternity imposter syndrome.
At Mum Love our mission is to drive positive change for mums. We know how important a career is to identity, and so we want to help working mums to get back to the workplace on their own terms. That’s why we’re creating a community hub that offers advice, support, and employment opportunities.
This plan is currently in progress, so watch this space for confirmation of details. And if you’d like to get involved, whether that’s to apply to work in our hubs or offer your skills as a mentor, then please get in touch here. We’d love to hear from you.
Our ultimate goal is to have a Mum Love Community Hub on every high street across the UK so as many mums as possible can access our services. If you have a space you’d be willing to rent or know of an empty spot that needs some Mum Love please get in touch here.
Our ultimate mission is to drive positive change for mums. We know how important a career is to identity, and so we want to help working mums to get back to the workplace on their own terms. That’s why we’re creating a physical space to match our online platform; with advice, support, and employment opportunities.

Information. Support. Change. This is our mission for mums.
We will listen to you, our community, about what changes are needed; and we will work with real mums, our ambassadors and other campaigning groups to drive real change for mums – from fairer pay and maternity rights to a more inclusive healthcare system that recognises modern maternal issues.
From a mother to another. We are all Mum Love.
Our content is written by verified experts, academics and professionals working at the very top of their respective fields; from newborns to maternal wellbeing and maternity rights.
Our team are independent practitioners and we recommend that any advice you take should be taken in the context of you and your baby. If it’s healthcare-related we recommend that you also look at the NHS website or seek the opinion of your GP. We are not a medical organisation and Mum Love cannot take responsibility for any action taken on the basis of the content written on this website.
We are here for the holistic wellbeing of you and your baby, and we know that no two mums are the same, which is why we’ve brought together experts from across the parenting spectrum to offer information and judgement-free advice. Our experts are all mums too, so their advice and information comes from a position of empathy and understanding – whatever weird and wonderful answer you’re seeking.
From a mother to another. We are all Mum Love.
