Once a chartered accountant, Julie made a life-changing decision to become a self-employed working mum, driven by her experience of feeling isolated and overwhelmed as a new parent. In 2010, inspired by her daughter and the desire to build a supportive environment for families, Julie launched a TinyTalk franchise. Her goal was clear: to create a safe, welcoming space where families could come together, connect, and thrive.
