About me

Honest Mum

Hi, I’m Vicki, mum of two, blogger, vlogger, author and former filmmaker and TV director.

I often pop up on TV as both a presenter and parenting expert (regularly appearing on BBC News and ITV) and I’ve spoken about maternal rights and flexible working as well as perinatal mental health in the House of Commons.

Career highlights include interviewing superstar actress Kim Cattrall and pop group, Westlife.

If you’d like to work with me, please email me at vicki@honestmum.com.

Filmed with @euronews.tv today on a fascinating to Filmed with @euronews.tv today on a fascinating topic around Insta and social media. I’ll share the piece once out. Thanks to @newsamorgan @hebecampbell for flying in from Lyon for it. Shoots are always a ‘perfect storm’ and in this case, they overcame an actual storm to be here and we battled bad winds to get the shoot. Thank you @lasiguanas waterloo for letting us film 🎥 🙏. If you don’t know much about Euro News, they’re dedicated to EU news and reach 400 million viewers a month (I got it wrong in the video) 📺.

Feeling full of sunshine and good vibes right now Feeling full of sunshine and good vibes right now after a filming a car commercial + print campaign with crew and clients who were all absolute legends. Thank you @mgmotoruk 🚗 ❤️. Never feels like work when it’s fun, right. 11 year old me who was desperate to be a journo/ news reader/presenter/actor and would make films on a vhs camera my Dad would hire from the video shop for a treat as it was ££££ is feeling so grateful and happy right now to be doing a job I love with some of the greatest, most talented people and brands out there. Build it and they will come 🙏. (11 year old me is also grateful my Mum @honestgrandma finally let me pluck my mono brow too. Finally 🤪). A clip from my stories today (more in MG Ad highlights). I’ll share the finished film once it’s out and the press links too. It’s apparently going out to 50 m 😱. When I started blogging back in 2010, totally broken, I never knew what could have possibly come from pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I know it’s completely cringe to say I’m living my dream but I think it’s important we as women own that and don’t feel scared to say, ‘I’ve worked damn hard and I’ve reached goals I could only have dreamed of’. So much more I hope to do, but having work/life balance I’ve achieved in the last 18 months working a 3 day week while growing my biz and being there for my family feels so special. Thanks for having my back people. It’s a wonderful community here 💪❤️ #ad

Thought I’d share what others have kindly said about my book MUMBOSS (which details how to build a digital biz/ blog/ Instagram handle and earn £ around your family) incase you fancied a read or a listen. It’s free on @audible when you trial it 🎧. Link in the bio 💫💥💪. Look into the coffee first though, I’m hypnotising you to buy my book 🤪🤪🤪 'Vicki is one inspirational mumboss, who shares her secrets to juggling a thriving business with raising a family in this entertaining and empowering read!' Una Healy. 'If ever there is a person who has shown just how successful you can be online whilst also being an amazing parent it is Vicki. Read, learn and follow. A brilliant book from an inspirational mother'. Natasha Courtenay-Smith, author of The Million Dollar Blog.

Thank God I'm getting old. That means I'm still here," she responded. "I'm gonna be 46 soon and grateful every day that I'm aging. Was your comment suppose to make me feel bad? It didn't. It makes me feel grateful. So thank you for the reminder that I'm still here, ❤️❤️❤️” 💪
I’ve re-shared a blog post on birth trauma in a I’ve re-shared a blog post on birth trauma in a link in my bio which went viral back in 2015 (it took me CBT and 5 years of processing to write it and I’ve since read it in a Committee meeting in the House of Commons and an NHS perinatal event) and it’s part of my motherhood journey covered in my book MUMBOSS. We need to keep the candid conversation on perinatal mental health going, to one another and when we’re comfortable to, with our children, normalising mental health struggles so if our own kids ever struggle, they know to speak up and reach out 💪 (Tweet from last year).
