MUM-TREPRENEUER I Spoke with mother of 2 and entrepreneur Chloe from Townville, about the ups and downs of mother-hood, marriage and trying to juggle a home business after a major interstate move! Thanks to Chloe for finding the time to answer some questions! So you're a wife, young mother of 2 and an entrepreneur or should I say a "Mum-trepreneur" that can't be easy to manage? Umm well it definitely holds its challenges. Kids need loads of attention, as do husbands and trying to build an empire. So it's been a bit of a challenge trying to give everything 100% and equal time so no one and nothing gets left out. That's including the house work Hahahah! You have two little boys Aiden and Donte, how old are they and what are they like? Good little boys I hope! Ohh yes the boys... Aiden is 3yo, he's just beautiful. Aiden is actually autistic, so his very full on but his so bright and soooo sweet, such a mummies boy. Then there is baby Donnie (Donte), he's nearly 6mo, so he's still very dependent of me. His pretty funny and so cuddly! Literally wants nothing but cuddles all day every day, so that comes with its own challenges {Lol}! They sound like a handful, in the BEST way! So on the days when you're a little exhausted, you've got things to do and the boys are having one of those days, how do you cope? What helps you get through? Umm coffee! haha no I don't know really, I just have to get things done. Being exhausted doesn't minimise my day. You recently married, gave birth and moved interstate, what's it been like with all those big changes in just 1 short year? Exciting I can imagine! Honestly it's been really difficult on us all. The isolation is definitely the hardest part for me because It's easy to feel completely alone when moving interstate, especially for a husband who is away, working so often. With your husband working away often and being fairly new to town, It must be hard to be so far from your family then, I can imagine they have been very supportive? Yeah it's been very hard losing all my support systems and social life. My mum has been my rock from a distance throughout this! Your hubby (Kane) seems like a wonderful man, how did you two meet? Haha umm honestly... We met on the dating app "plenty of fish". He's been so good for me in many ways, but he's still a big shit head {Lol}. I saw pictures of your wedding (you looked stunning by the way) What about the proposal? Was it romantic? It was just lovely. Simple! He was away for work as he's in the defence force, he was suppose to be non-contactable until December 19. Randomly I heard a knock my door on December 17 expecting my mum or best friend to be there, I was, pleasantly surprised, to see my now husband at my door on 1 knee. Not even an inkling he would be home early. Although as the story goes I was sooo surprised that I shut the door in his face Hahahah Ooops! Now I know you run your own business, what do you do exactly? Well, I sell high end cosmetics and skin care for an amazing company that supports victims of sexual abuse... Both women and children, which is something very close to home for me. Something I feel so strongly about. YOUNIQUE! Feel free to check out any information on my website www.youniqueproducts.com/ChloeJLittle I have currently got 2 wonderful ladies as a part of my younique team and always looking to expand! That's truly AMAZING! What an incredible cause to represent and work for. So what was it that interested the most about YOUNIQUE? Just everything that Younique stands for, They actually fund a retreat that victims of sexual abuse can be sent to, to learn to deal with the abuse adequately so that they can move on and live a happier healthier life . That is incredible! So how have you been finding Running a business from home? Well it's tough to get a home business going but it's much more convenient with 2 young children. What's the most reward thing about your business for you? Watching my boys grow and never missing a thing and knowing the hard work I put in is helping a victim of abuse, somewhere be happy again. Looking back over the past 5 years, I'm sure you've had many ups and downs. What would be perhaps 1 of the lowest and 1 of the highest points and how do you think they have helped you to become the person you are? Oh wow Aimee getting heavy with me here haha. Low points, hmm well before my first son born, who is now just over 3, I was heading down a really bad path just drinking & partying, no good at all... Until I got pregnant and that just completely changed everything I was. So I guess whatever was in my head that was sending me down that path was my lowest point. But my babies are definitely my highest! They are so challenging, each in their own ways, but they're also the most rewarding things. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you could tell yourself then what you know now, would you have any advice for yourself 5 years ago? Yes... Boys sucks hahaha. No honestly I would tell myself I don't need men or drinking. I would tell myself to pursue my love of fitness, personal training, fitness competitions, the whole lot! Given the chance do you think you would change anything about your life or how you've gotten to where you are? Honestly no! Things are tough at the moment but they won't be bad forever. I love my family and I'll grow to love my new life in Townsville. Well chloe thank you so much for chatting to me about married life, being a kick ass mum and inspiring us to work hard for what you want! You're doing such a great job and I'm proud of how far you've come!
