The last couple of years have been harder than ever on new Mums to form connections within their local community

We spoke with Katie Mason, the founder of Connecting Mums; a business that has made it even easier to build connections with other Mums in Perth.

 Seeing the mums with a sense of achievement, so proud of what they have created has been a very rewarding part of this. Hearing the buzz, happiness and joy fill the room during a workshop while seeing the mums exchange numbers and make friends. This is why I do what I do.

The hardest thing is going to a new experience for the first time. Especially when you are so tired you don’t know what day it is, full of emotions and winging every day as it comes. Sometimes when you are drowning in the early days of motherhood, the thought of socialising is so overwhelming, but I promise you that you will thank yourself for getting out and meeting some other mums. I remember my first social mum and bub activity. I went on my own, I also had a baby who was always unsettled and my post natal anxiety was coming in strong. I sat in the car out the front for about half an hour before I plucked up the courage to just go in! I was so glad I did! I ended up finding my tribe of mums. The best part was being able to talk about everything I was going through as a new mum. I found others that I could relate to and it was so great to know I was not on this journey alone. You are not alone mumma.

So, where to next for Connecting Mums Perth?

I’m aiming BIG! (those that know me I don’t tend to do things in halves haha!) I want to build the Connecting Mums Community to host Perth’s hottest mum and bub activities and be a go-to space for mums to connect with other mums, because connection as a new mum is so important. Heck! Let’s aim bigger….Australia here we come!
