Being a working mother is a huge juggle. One minute you might be in a business meeting, the next you could be called to nursery to pick up your poorly child.
However, it does not mean that it is always easy, something that Kuku Nukajam, 30, founder of Reign Studio and mum to Noah, two-and-a-half, knows only too well. Reign Studio launched in August 2019 and now helps empower busty women to feel confident in their skin, supplying wireless swimwear and bralette sets for sizes 28F to 40KK.
"Currently, Noah goes to nursery three days a week which really helps me to get some focused time to push out all the important things within the business. "Mum guilt is sooo real! And so is business guilt, I always feel like I'm internally battling one of the two. When I'm working and Noah is around I feel guilty that I am not giving him all of me and I wonder how that might be affecting him.
She explains: "I have found that due to being a mum some people see what I am doing as more of a pet project than me building a successful scalable business that is meeting the needs of a specific customer base.
