Ten Superb Guidelines On Working Mums To Follow On Twitter

From time to time, we all need a bit of inspiration. Sometimes we can feel as if we are on our own in this difficult and demanding world. Are you the only working mum struggling to make sense of it all, juggling work, social life and the challenges of bringing up your children? If we are all honest, we all go through these ups and downs and question the meaning of it all, so it is good to see how others operate, to give us a little bit of extra motivation to shake it off and resume the battle!

The social media revolution has allowed us to keep in touch with others like never before. We can come across other, like-minded mums who we can bring into our social circles, as we get a glimpse of their complex, alternative lifestyles.

We have searched for some inspirational working mums on one of our favourite social networks, Twitter. See if you can find some inspiration from these women's tweets, but in the meantime why not use the vast power of the Internet to line up some online coaching to inspire you? These days, professional coaching can really be the shot in the arm that you need.

We came across Nadine Hill (@businessmum), who lives in the north of England and in addition to being a motivational speaker is also a "fashion lover, biz owner and plate spinner!" She has found that she is good at multitasking, balancing her roles of modern mum and business owner, as she writes a number of different books.

Carolyne Wahlen (@preventativehr) runs a business specialising in employment contracts, human resource outsourcing and measures to avoid those potentially damaging issues with employees. She is fluent in German, based in Reading and also juggles time as a working mum with Brownie duties.

Angie Stewart (@angiejstewart) operates a successful business consultancy with her husband. Somehow she is also able to manage the Live Covers Band and Kill The Jukebox, while also bringing up two boys.

Brigitte Mehr (@brigittemehr) claims to be the proudest mum as she builds her entrepreneurial empire. She loves to collect designer handbags, promotes online coaching and mentoring, while running a successful blog, passing along Internet marketing strategies to entrepreneurs.

If you follow astrology, you can learn all about the phases of the moon, eclipses, how to identify asteroids and those strange twinkling lights in the sky. This outreaching Welsh mum (@serennu) also operates @astrologyblog and has an interest in music and comedy.

Angela Griffin (@angela_griffin) is a thirty something mum of two, who makes a living as an actress and television presenter for Britain's Sky TV. She is, after all, better known as the hairdresser Fiona in Coronation Street.

If you want to find out how to manage money effectively and to free up your life for what you want, then Tina Weeks is the financial life planner for you. She is the Finance Coach (@thefinancecoach) and is based in Barnet, London.

On a serious note, if you are really looking for some inspiration, you should read all about Sarah E Andrews (@sarahsaner), who writes all about her fight with and victory over cancer, even as she developed her career as an aspiring fiction writer and balanced her time as a busy mum.

If you really want some freedom, you should aspire to be a digital nomad. Lea Woodward (@leawoodward) has been able to do just that, as she does not live in any one particular location. She is dedicated to this business model, while being a busy mum, helping others aspire to a similar life.

Michelle Dale (@miss_Friday) used her experience in career development and her passion for travel to help her establish a successful Virtual Assistance business. For the entrepreneur, she is the Girl Friday!
