My journey from The Healthy Mummy to Zing Wellbeing

I started The Healthy Mummy in 2010 when I was pregnant and sold my house to launch it.

I took a HUGE risk to do it and from 2010 to 2017 it was extremely hard yards.

We rented apartments and houses (and my first baby was born in 2010 and my next in 2012) and each year we moved as our rental booted us our because the landlord needed to sell (it was so bad luck!), and I invested all the money we made over that time back into the business so it could grow and so we could give customers what they wanted.

But reinvesting all the money back in meant my family had no saved money and it was pretty stressful - and the bigger the business got the more money was needed to run it (staff, apps, products, working capital etc).

Then in 2017 a private equity firm said they wanted to invest. And although I was super nervous about this - selling half to a private equity firm meant we could buy a house and my family could have financial security after a rollercoaster 7 years and lots of risk.

So I did it.

As soon as I did it I regretted it as things changed straight away with a private equity firm owning half of it.

It was stressful and full on and I no longer was the sole decision maker of the business and it changed the course of The Healthy Mummy business for me.

Then in 2022 the business was sold to another company called Halo and then Halo had a tough time and the business was sold again to a business called Mosh (who now own it).

I don't really want to talk about this time but I will say it was extremely stressful and in 2022 I walked away from a business, staff, customers and a brand I loved  so much which was extremely hard but I did it for my mental wellbeing and I chose my own and my family's mental wellbeing over money.

But now it has been over 2 1/2 years and I have been away from the health space and starting my private support group has reignited my LOVE for this space and what I am passionate about - health and wellbeing for women and all the amazing feedback has given me the courage to start again. (And I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that support as it is a bit scary to be starting everything from scratch).

I have had people ask if Zing Wellbeing is another The Healthy Mummy so I wanted to talk about this.

The Healthy Mummy is a weight loss company for mums and Zing Wellbeing is  a health and wellbeing platform for all women.

I am deeply passionate about women's health, food and wellness and I have to follow my passion and do what I love - and this is what I love - and this is what Zing Wellbeing is.

I love helping other women. I love health and I love a broader approach to health and wellbeing.

The Healthy Mummy is very much weight loss and with Mosh now owning The Healthy Mummy they even have a bigger weight loss focus as Mosh also offer weight loss medication

Zing Wellbeing is ALL about health and wellbeing and about putting community, support and the customer as number 1.

It is about nourishing your body and soul.

It is about feeling good about yourself.

It is about getting the most out of food, fitness and mental wellbeing 

It is about seeing food as medicine and fuel to live a healthier life.

It is about learning about how important the gut is and making recipes to nourish the gut.

It is about feeling energised and full of vitality.

It is about having a platform for women's health

It is about creating content and community for women and women's health issues - from food, fitness, hormones, menopause and mental health.

It is about learning to deal with issues surrounding mental wellbeing and the hugely negative effect anxiety and stress can have on us (I speak from experience).

It is about health, wellness, education, support and longevity

Will it have meal plans? YES. Infact we have over 20 meal plans and 500+ healthy recipes

Will it have exercises? YES

Will it have support, programs, experts on hand and inspiration? YES

Will it have products? YES and we now have organic protein powder and a wellness smoothie meal replacement - see the shop here 

And over time it will also evolve and adapt to what you need and want.

And I am also LOVING that I am now working with so many other women again who are helping me to create something pretty different and special for other women to help them feel good and be in their best health possible.
