My Story
When my elder daughter was 11 years old and my younger one was just 7, I was running a fashion business that required constant communication with China and various states in Australia. I was always busy—working late nights, juggling calls, and trying to manage everything. Even when I was physically home, my mind was always somewhere else—thinking about work, solving problems, and answering phone calls.
I thought I was doing what I had to for my family—working hard to provide for them. But in reality, I wasn’t truly present with my daughters. I was there, but not really there.
My Moment of Realization
One evening, as I rushed around the house, caught up in work thoughts, my elder daughter came up to me. She looked at me with her big, innocent eyes and said, ‘Mummy, can you smile, please? I haven’t seen you smile in a long time.’
Her words stopped me in my tracks. It was like a mirror reflecting back what I’d become—a mum so consumed by responsibilities that I’d forgotten how to smile, how to be present, how to just be with my daughters.
My Transformation
That moment changed everything for me. I realized that no amount of success in my business would matter if I wasn’t there for my children emotionally. I started to reflect on what truly mattered—creating a happy, loving environment where my daughters felt seen, heard, and cherished.
I made a commitment to myself to be more present, to smile more, and to build a stronger bond with my children. And over time, I learned that being a happy, balanced mum isn’t just about time—it’s about the quality of that time and the emotional connection you create.
How This Inspired Happy Mum Happy Child
That’s why I created Happy Mum Happy Child. Because I know there are so many mums out there who feel the way I did—pulled in a million directions, overwhelmed by responsibilities, and struggling to find balance. I want to help mums reclaim their joy, reconnect with their children, and create the kind of home where everyone feels loved and supported.

One of my clients, Linda, was trapped in a cycle of criticism with her daughter. Their relationship was strained, filled with misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Through our coaching sessions, Eva discovered the power of empathy and patient communication. She learned to truly see her daughter, understand her needs, and connect with her on a deeper level. Today, their relationship has blossomed into one of mutual respect, love, and understanding.
