Raising good humans while building a career or business can feel like the bar keeps moving. Mums Mean Business is a day to step out of the juggle, learn from women who are living it, and leave with ideas you can actually use on Monday.
The conference grew out of our networking group for self-employed mums, but this day is for every working mum: business owners, employees, side-hustlers, career changers and everyone in between.
Keynote speakers:
Dr Morgan Edwards, "You don't have to earn your rest"
Dr Morgan Edwards is a mum, an anaesthetist, and a content creator. She is passionate about empowering her patients and women all over the world with scientifically backed data to make informed decisions, especially during childbirth. She regularly speaks out on government policies and helps her audience find actionable ways to advocate for change. She’s a mum of two, loves to travel, and is an all-round great human.
Emma McLean, “The Honest Conversation about Success: trade-offs and redefining what success means”
Emma McLean is the mother of three young adults and founder of Works for Everyone. She experienced first-hand how hard it was to have a career and a family during her 20-year career in corporate strategy. Alongside Works for Everyone, she runs a successful podcast “How to Smash the Motherhood Penalty”, runs the NZ Part Time Power List, and most importantly, is a lifelong Swiftie.
Our panels for the day:
The Invisible Mental Load: leading at home and in business, and avoiding burnout
Growing a Team Without Losing Your Mind: hiring, delegation and systems as a busy parent
Building a Personal Brand: finding confidence and opportunities
Speakers include:
Meg Mansell (co-host on The Edge Breakfast)
Alex Cappy (CEO First Table)
Courtney Bennett (Premmie Knitting Club)
Ashleigh Scott (The Facialist)
Charlotte Norris (Invigorate Media)
With more to be announced!
Plenty of time throughout the day to connect with other mums who get the juggle.
What's included: Full-day entry, coffee (available from 8am), morning tea, and lunch.
When: Saturday 14 November 2026, 9am start (so please arrive a bit before!), 5pm finish.
Where: Te Puna Creative Hub, 8/14 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson, Auckland 0612
Tickets: General admission $150 incl GST.
Can I bring my baby? Of course, but we would ask you to pop outside with them if they get unsettled.
Is there parking? There is very limited parking on site, but there is parking on surrounding streets, or we encourage you to use public transport - it’s right next to Henderson station!
Dietary requirements? Let us know when you book and we’ll take care of the rest.
Refunds? Refunds are not permitted, but you are welcome to change the name on a ticket.
Who's organising? Mums Mean Business is run by Renata Wiles (Roam With Kids) and Nicole Turner (Sea Turner).
Do I need to know anyone attending? No! There will be lots of opportunities for networking and meeting people.
