Savviest Money Tips For Mumpreneurs

Clara Chew, 38, professional organiser and founder of Reglow Living

Clara is a professional organiser and certified Konmari Consultant. She works with clients to transform their messy dwellings into their ideal living space by tidying and organising their homes. She helps clients break up their mess into manageable parts and guides them to decide if an item should be kept or discarded. She then plans and advises where things should be kept and recommends storage solutions to maximise space, efficiency and aesthetics.

Her World’s What Women Want 2021 survey revealed that 61 per cent of working mothers have given up career opportunities for their families, especially among those aged 40 to 49 (66 per cent) and 30 to 39 (62 per cent). This can be attributed partly to clearer goals, as well as the desire for a more flexible schedule that allows them to spend more time with their children at home.

Among these stay-at-home mums (SAHMs), some have launched their own businesses and side hustles to supplement their income, pursue their passions, or find purpose and fulfilment. We spoke to seven SAHMs in Singapore who have successfully established themselves as mumpreneurs, to get advice for anyone looking to follow in their footsteps.

How did she get into it?

In 2017, just before her family relocated to the US for what would be a fouryear stay, she came across the book The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. “It had a profound effect on the way I viewed my belongings and the way I organised my home. In 2019, I attended the certification course in New York City and fulfilled the criteria to become one of the 700 Konmari Consultants worldwide.”
