 About Eden:

Hi I’m Eden! A young mum from outback QLD Australia! I started a business just to get my little family by until my maternity leave ended. Fast forward 4 years, turns out I didn’t need to go back!  Had 2 babies, put one through 2 open heart surgeries all while shipping orders out of the Ronald McDonald charity house where we had to relocate 3 hours away from our home for months on end to have my youngest baby looked after by specialist care from the very best of the best doctors. 

Starting digital products this year I would have never ever thought I’d be sitting at 44,000 orders in just 10 months! Making the physical products 3 years prior and still do daily! I knew where the gap in the market was and still is. Driving my business success through my social media channels has taught me that anyone can be successful with the right amount of dedication, discipline, a willingness to take calculated risks and have a genuine love for their products.  

My business has allowed me to be at home with my children. That to me is my driving factor over money any day! I definitely think why I have been so successful thus far is that I was a single mother for 7 years and raising my baby brothers and sisters prior to meeting my now incredible partner and having our own babies! 

I missed out on everything having to work a 9-5 to put food on the table and a roof over my extended family’s heads. 

Social media & owning and running your very own business from home can absolutely be done! An opportunity I will never take for granted! With every new exciting tool at my fingertips I will never stop wanting to learn and grow or better my skills 😊 

My sincerest thanks to all the determined young mums and parents who have helped carve out a way for me in this digital world to follow my dreams and be true to my values of raising a family well.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Eden's journey is nothing short of extraordinary, as she shares her story of resilience, creativity, and determination.

Eden began her entrepreneurial journey out of necessity, starting a business to support her family during maternity leave. Little did she know that this venture would evolve into a thriving online business, allowing her to stay home with her children while navigating the challenges of motherhood, including her youngest child's serious health issues. Despite the chaos, Eden managed to ship orders from the Ronald McDonald charity house while her baby underwent two open-heart surgeries.

Throughout our conversation, Eden shares practical tips for new sellers, emphasizing the importance of discipline and treating your business like a 9 to 5 job.
