Latest News from Freelance Mum – May 2026

At Freelance Mum, connection has always been at the heart of what we do. And as our community grows, we’ve been exploring a different kind of connection – making more time for those deeper conversations in our new Creative Hub.

We believe that ‘being creative’ isn’t limited to ‘creative industries’, we are all creative. Running a business around family life requires constant creativity. You’re problem solving daily. Adapting constantly. Building something in the middle of the juggle. And when you’re doing it alone, those creative juices, can start to feel like they’re running dry.

That’s why we’ve launched the Freelance Mum Creative Hub. A new online space, created in collaboration with award-winning photographer and fellow Freelance Mum, Nina Raingold.

Meeting monthly, the Creative Hub offers a place to pause, share ideas and reconnect with your creative thinking. From creative prompts and shared inspiration, to informal discussions and breakout spaces, it’s designed to gently

support those moments where you just need a second perspective or a spark.

Creativity isn’t just about making something polished or pretty, it’s helps reconnect with the thing that you love – the business you set out to build, around your life and your family. And sometimes that shift comes, from intentionally connecting with others.
