EPISODE 13 | Leona Burton | Teen Mum to 6 figure CEO "I thought about giving up every month and that's what people need to understand"

Today’s guest is a high-performance mentor, author and CEO of Mums in Business International. With a global membership of 350,000 she is disrupting her industry as a voice for good, championing women and mums to thrive in business. Alongside business, she is a mum of 6 and together with her husband, they travel the world whilst homeschooling their children. But life hasn’t always looked this way, so what did it take to get to this point?

From growing up with her dad in a disciplined household and not knowing “where my mum is” the super intelligent child became a disruptive teenager as she struggled with her identity but when she had her own child she discovered ‘The power of being a mum”. Falling pregnant at 17 after dropping out of school, she felt the need to prove herself as a response to the stigma and judgement around her but stepping way out of her comfort zone on the catwalk as a plus size model created a “fuck you” moment to any of her doubters. From dropping out of business school because it was boring, to wanting connection rather than a sales pitch at networking events, when she started a Facebook group for mums in business and it grew to 17000 in the first few months, she knew she had identified a pain point that resonated. Leona built a successful business with 300 networking events a month, then in just 4 weeks, her business, friendship and trust of some members imploded. She had to start again… Leona’s story is one of total transformation with her biggest breakthrough being to, “stop giving a fuck what anyone else thinks”. Listen to this episode if: You are smart but feel you haven’t lived up to your potential…yet. You are a mum that wants a bigger life than where you are now. You have experienced stigma or judgement. You had a child at a young age.
