“Your faith in miracles and yourself must be greater than your fears.”

What do you do and what led you to this career?

I am originally from New Zealand and my background is in law. When I moved to Los Angeles about 5 years ago, I had a complete change of heart and followed my true passion — which is inspiring other moms to become the best versions of themselves through health, beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. That's when I decided to create my blog; Madd About Mandy.

What is the most rewarding aspect of being a mother?

Waking up every morning to the purest little smile warms my heart with such joy and contentment. The ability to create life is the most rewarding part of being a mom. I believe you truly start living once you are a mom.

And what is the most challenging?

For me, personally, the most challenging part is balancing work life and motherhood.

What is your best advice for someone new to your industry?
