From tears, tantrums, and eye-rolls to disastrous dates and big breaks, Mum’s been there throughout it all, imparting pearls of wisdom along the way. With Mother's Day fast approaching, we want to take a moment to celebrate the many ways our mothers have shaped our lives, by asking the team for the best advice they’ve ever received from their mum. After all, Mothers know best!

‘My mum has always taught me not to worry about what others think. Even during tough times like when I was bullied in school, she reminded me that what made me different was actually my greatest strength. She encouraged me to embrace my uniqueness, rather than trying to blend in or be like anyone else. Her words have continued with me into adulthood, and I credit her words for giving me the courage to be bold, authentic, and creative.’

‘My mum has always reminded me whatever is meant to be will be. Everything has a way of working itself out how it’s supposed to she always says, which has always given me comfort in situations that haven’t worked out as I had hoped at the time, reassuring me things happened that way for a reason.’

‘My mum has always told me to do what makes me happy.

She also reminds me that by doing that, she will also be happy too’
