Thank you for being here.
This short survey is a chance to tell us what support would genuinely help you as a busy mum.
There are no right or wrong answers. You don’t need to have everything figured out.
Please answer honestly, and only what feels comfortable to share.
This should take around 3–5 minutes, and you can pause at any time.
Please do share this survey with any other busy mums you know.
I look forward to connecting with you inside the community once it is launched.
Best wishes,
Sian x
