I've had the chance to work with some incredible female founders...
And now I get to work under the guidance of Laura Davies and Sarah Andrews as a content strategy intern for Mumie!
One thing I've learned from working in marketing is that I need to be invested in the company's mission and values.
Which is exactly what I saw in Mumie.
✨It's an app for new mums to help them navigate their postnatal journey.
✨It serves to inform and empower mums in their recovery.
✨It is a community for mums so that they feel seen, heard, and never alone.
✨It provides the right help and support for early postnatal women and for women up to 2 years into their journey.
✨It resonates with the challenges, emotions, and experiences that postnatal women deal with.
And why do I feel so invested in this mission?
I'm not a mother myself, but my mother had to go through all of this and I have friends who have been through childbirth.
Plus, the facts are startling:
➡️More than 1/3 of women experience lasting health problems after birth (Lancet 2023).
➡️Between 2019-2021 over 300 women died within 12 months after pregnancy (MBBRACE 2023).
➡️Postnatal support focuses on the health and wellbeing of the baby, often excluding the mother (DHSC 2022).
Internships are all about learning new skill sets, but it's also about opening yourself up to others' experiences.
I know so many female founders who also juggle being a mother and this is my opportunity to be able to truly understand and empathise with their stories.
