Mother Chuck

Entrepreneur, influencer and mum-to-be Jane Lau tells us what's important to her as she embraces motherhood this year

“I’m still me…,” Jane Lau says after a short pause, contemplating the barrage of parenthood questions I’ve just thrown at her. How does she feel about her pregnancy? What kind of changes will she have to adapt to? How will she juggle running a business and being a new mum? Lau replies to each query with the cool, quiet confidence of someone who knows she can’t predict the future but embraces her ability to face it head-on. “They say a newborn will change you in every way, but I’m actually really looking forward to this new identity,” muses the Motherchuckers founder, known to many by her moniker “Jane Chuck”. “At every different stage of life, I’ll still be me. I don’t really know what kind of mum I’ll be. I hadn’t really thought of it, to be honest,” she says with a disarming laugh.
