Today i met with an inspirational lady. Linda from Nifty Mums Network moved to Melbourne last year with her husband and one child with another on the way, when her second child came early, she realised she didn't have anyone she could call to come and take care of her first born so she set about to create a network of mums that were in a similar situation. She had also been suffering from post natal depression and wanted to help other women speak up and get some help. Less than a year later, she has over 4500 followers on her facebook page, gives talks a major events, is working with Beyond Blue and PANDA and could possibly be the single biggest influence on changing the stigma attached with PND and getting women the help they need. Her Nifty Mums Network facebook page and blog are a place to help mothers connect with each other, be it for business or just general advice on parenting. She also runs a private facebook page specifically for suffers of post natal depression which people can ask to join, remain confidential and read about other mums experiences without feeling any pressure, and if they like, talk about their own situation.
She really is an amazing woman, i am in awe of her and what she is achieving. She's even not for profit so all of this time and energy she spends helping other people, currently doesn't earn her any money.

Happy designing
