Clever Mamma Profile: Reverie Coaching

We're state-hopping over to South Australia this week to introduce you to Mumpreneur coach Kathryn Hocking from Reverie Coaching. If you've ever dreamed about turning your utmost dreams into an amazing reality, Kathryn is THE mum in biz to call. Based in the gorgeous seaside town of Semaphore, together with hubby, gorgeous little Ava and their affection-seeking cat, Reverie Coaching is a realisation of her "desire to inspire, motivate and assist mums, through coaching, to establish their dream business and in turn become more passionate about their lives." I hope you enjoy finding out a bit more about this mum in business' journey as much as I did.

 1. Tell us a little about yourself and your business... My name is Kathryn and I live in Semaphore, South Australia by the beach with my husband and toddler Ava. Reverie Coaching is dedicated to coaching and mentoring Mumpreneurs to create and grow their dream Mumpreneur business. I do this through one-on-one coaching, affordable online e-courses and masterminds, free profiling on my blog and lots of free tips through my newsletter.

2. How did your business begin?
I returned to working after maternity leave feeling a distinct lack of passion about my job. I also experienced just how hard balancing a full-time corporate role and a family was and I thought there has to be a better way. Many of my friends were struggling with the same issues and came to me for help and advice regarding this transition back to work and balancing work and family life.

I realised there must be a better way to work and be a mum, and that many mums would need help creating their own Mumpreneur business. And from this Reverie Coaching was born.

Since then to compliment my extensive corporate and commercial experience I have completed nationally recognised Life Coaching, Small Business Management and Training & Assessment qualifications and completed some internationally recognised online business and personal development courses. I am continually learning and investing in my business and passing this knowledge on to my clients.

3. The bits I love... I love those ‘ah-ha’ moments when my clients reach clarity on their dream business idea or how to grow their business. I love watching a client walk in with a defeated look on their face and leave feeling inspired, passionate and empowered!

I love working from my beautiful home doing what I am passionate about and knowing I am creating a better life for my family.

4. The bits I not-so-love... It’s crazy but I pretty much love everything about my business! It can be challenging to not have the security of a guaranteed income from the business but I find that challenges and pushes me to achieve more.

5. Any tips for other Clever Mammas?
Finding a network or mastermind of other Mumpreneurs is key. Being a Mumpreneur can be isolating so you need a posse of like-minded women supporting and inspiring you! I have created this for my clients through my e-courses and they love it and so do I.

6. Devonshire Tea versus Coffee & Cake??? Coffee all the way, my choice is a Skim Flat White and I can be tempted with cake, especially at my favourite cafĂ© at Semaphore.
