I’m a mum of two, former teacher, keen yogi, nature lover and a salad addict! I’m deeply passionate about helping ambitious mums create sustainable work-life balance, break free from mum guilt so they can achieve both career success and family fulfilment without compromise.
I know exactly what it feels like to be caught in the tug-of-war between career ambitions and being there for your family.
I used to be a stressed-out curriculum manager, the youngest member of the leadership team, with two young kids. On the surface, I was doing exceptionally well in my role, but I was drowning in anxiety and overwhelm. I was constantly pulled in different directions, trying to be the perfect leader, perfect mother and perfect wife. I felt the constant pressure to prove myself, working harder and harder to meet the expectations placed on me until it all started to take its toll.
Hi, I’m Sinem
The struggle
My life had become a constant balancing act, where everything seemed urgent and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t keep up. I felt guilty when I was at work, like I was missing out on important moments with my kids. But then, when I was with them, I felt drained, distracted and mentally checked out. The pressure was relentless, and I started thinking: “Maybe I just can’t have both” I even turned down a senior management role which was a huge career opportunity, because I believed I couldn’t have both. But I soon realised something powerful: it’s wasn’t about choosing one over the other. It was about creating a life where I could feel fulfilled in both as a professional and a mum without compromise.
The turning point
That realisation became the turning point for me. I invested in my first life coach and this step was the catalyst for everything that followed.
Slowly but surely, I became aware of my unconscious beliefs and the habits that were holding me back. I got clear on what truly mattered to me and made decisions that aligned with those values. I reconnected with the joyful, vibrant and confident woman I once was. I learnt that it’s more than okay to dream big, to pursue your career goals while also being the present, loving and engaged mum your children need.
The transformation
Today, I’m running two successful businesses but the biggest win is that I’m the most balanced, present and grounded I’ve ever been. I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving in both my career and motherhood. I don’t feel pulled in two directions anymore. And now, I’m here to show you exactly how to create the same transformation for yourself.
I’ve found a way to balance career success and motherhood without feeling like I’m sacrificing one for the other. And I know that if I can do this, you can too.
