It is interesting how different people have different ideas and perceptions of the world. The Mummy world is no different. When I first heard of XXX (a local mummy and baby group), I asked around to find out what it was and considered joining it but was told only negative things about it. Naturally, I didn’t join it. But as my new Mummyhood gained me new Mummy friends, another group of Mummies explained how brilliant XXX was and how I should join it immediately! Being the most nosy chick on the block (subtly, of course – do it with style, babe) and having the curiousity that could kill ten cats, not nine, I joined XXX to experience it for myself.
I realised that it really is who you are and what you stand for that would make one perceive XXX to be a good thing or not. I gained a lot from the group and made many friends. Probably because I am so laid back and easy going that I don’t rub anyone up the wrong way. It has been the same for most situations that I have been in, whether in business or with friends.
Of late, I found myself being the floater of several Mummy cliques. I get invited to everything. Or perhaps, T is the one everyone likes. It gets akward when Mummy Clique 1 has a problem with Mummy Clique 2. Invariably, I don’t like lying, being dishonest or even avoiding the subject. So I speak my mind. For example, if I know that Clique 1 has an issue with Clique 2, I will outrightly mention to Clique 1 that I am seeing Clique 2 the next day; which almost always brings a moment of akwardness. But you know what? Life is too short.
If Clique 1 has a problem with me hanging out with anyone else, then they are most welcomed to stop inviting me to their parties. At the end of the day, I want to live. If I didn’t like someone, they’d almost know it because I am not good keeping up with pretenses. C’est la vie. Enjoy….
I am proud that I am strong that way. Yet I can’t say NO to helping out with the charity organisation that I volunteer with. Argh!!!
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


Ahh the joy of mummy cliques! 🙂
You’re a strong woman! I feel like the cliques are high-school all over again!
