We all crave inspiration from time to time. 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? We need to be honest with ourselves and agree that we all experience these ups and downs and are not able to make head nor tail of life, so it’s good to get an insight into other people’s activities, so that we can get some much-needed motivation to help us with our future battles!

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.

One of the best social networks is, of course, Twitter and we have looked for some inspirational working mums within. Maybe you will find some inspiration from the writings of these women, but as you dive into the awesome power of the Internet, go a little further and line up some online coaching for your own inspiration. 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 written several books and is adept at multitasking, balancing her roles of business owner and being a modern mum.

If you want to find out how somebody runs a business focusing on human resource outsourcing, employment contracts and employee related problems, you should follow Carolyne Wahlen (@preventativehr). Carolyne lives in Reading, can speak German fluently and is also involved with Brownie duties in addition to being a working mum.

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.

Nobody is prouder than Brigitte Mehr (@brigittemehr) as we build our entrepreneurial dreams. She is involved in a great deal, writing a successful blog giving top Internet marketing strategies to us all, while collecting designer handbags on the one hand and promoting online coaching and mentoring on the other.

Astrology is a fascinating pastime, teaching us about the phases of the moon, asteroid identification, eclipses and the millions of stars in the sky. This outreaching Welsh mum (@serennu) also operates @astrologyblog and has an interest in music and comedy.

You may be familiar with Angela Griffin (@angela_griffin), the thirty-something mum of two who is a TV presenter and actress for Britain’s Sky TV. Fans of Coronation Street will remember her as the hairdresser Fiona.

Tina Weeks is a financial life planner, who wants to help people manage their money effectively, so they can live the life that they want. Based in Barnet, London, she is also known as the Finance Coach, (@thefinancecoach).

If you really want some inspiration, check out the real-life story of Sarah E Andrews (@sarahsaner), who documents her fight and victory over cancer, while being a busy mum and promoting her career as an aspiring fiction writer.

If you really want some freedom, you should aspire to be a digital nomad. This is just what Lea Woodward (@leawoodward) has done, living independently of any 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!
