Escape the 9-5: Single Mum Start-up Truths
We know the feeling: you are stuck in a role that drains you, but because you are limited by time, money, and confidence, launching your dream feels like an impossible risk. Today, we are stripping away the polished "girlboss" myth with Sabrina, a fellow Gold Coast single mum who defied those exact odds to build the proptech startup WeView.
Sabrina breaks down the raw reality of escaping the employment trap, building a company from the ground up without a safety net, and navigating the intimidating world of raising capital. She also shares her ruthless prioritisation strategies for when both your new business and your baby need you at 100%. As our host Elle shared, hearing from women in the trenches of running a business while living this life is true food for the soul.
What is the one business idea you’ve been too scared to start, and what is your biggest struggle—is it juggling the work and kids, or just getting the idea off the ground? Let’s uplift and support each other!
