Ever felt like there’s an unspoken “Secret Mums Club” where no one tells you about the messy, confusing, or overwhelming parts of parenthood? I didn’t sign up for that club either. That’s why I created What Mummy Didn’t Know—to pull back the curtain and share the real, unfiltered truths of being a new, older, working mum raising a bilingual child.

After becoming a mum and navigating the responsibilities and challenges of raising a child, I became passionate about supporting other parents through their own beautiful, messy, and rewarding journey into parenthood. Parenthood is full of surprises—some magical, others overwhelming—and I believe it’s easier when we laugh, learn, and support each other along the way.

Hi! I’m Clare: mum to my Little Bean, full-time lecturer, and self-proclaimed expert at figuring things out the hard way! I hold degrees in Psychology and German Translation, am a qualified and experienced English language lecturer with nearly 20 years of teaching and training under my belt, and am also a certified parent coach. Combining my professional expertise with the lessons I’ve learned as a mum, I’m here to support you with laughter, insights, and practical tips to make the journey a little easier.

Whether you’re an overwhelmed new mum, navigating life as a working parent, or raising a bilingual child, I’ve got you covered with relatable insights, informed tips, and a healthy dose of humour.
