René van den Heeveer - Kijk Optometrists<br />
Although she has been in the Optometry field for 15 years,<br />
Rene opened her own business, called Kijk in Salt Rock in<br />
February 2019. Her patients vary from tiny babies to sport<br />
enthusiasts and fishing guru’s … and anyone else in need<br />
of good vision or cool eyewear! Your top tip for juggling<br />
motherhood and being a businesswoman? Besides<br />
having an awesome husband to help juggle the balls and<br />
catch the falling ones? I think the most important thing is<br />
to be there and zoom in on the person in front of you. At<br />
home, zoom in on the kids and use the time with them<br />
productively and at work, zoom in on the patient in front<br />
of you. The best piece of mothering advice you ever<br />
received? Do not take any advice from the people you<br />
love personally - they love your children too! And then, of<br />
course, if all else fails, turn on some music and just dance!<br />

Julia and Roxy - SAINT&SUMMER<br />
Julia James and Roxy Message started SAINT&SUMMER seven years ago in the hope<br />
of bringing ladies footwear that suits the lifestyle we lead in SA. Each and every shoe<br />
is designed to complement our individual, distinctive style. Their shoes are all locally<br />
designed and they find inspiration in the everyday working woman, mom and<br />
housewife. “We are inspired by the company we keep, people on the street and the<br />
amazing multi-cultured diversity of South Africa. We love new trends and changing<br />
things up!” Your top tip for juggling motherhood and being a businesswoman?<br />
JULIA: To find a balance. Wake up early. Work in the morning while the kids are<br />
busy at school. Don’t work at home after hours. Be present. The days are long but<br />
the years are short. ROXY: Being super organised. I am meticulous about planning<br />
and recording everything on my phone calendar so I don’t miss anything. Self-care,<br />
which doesn’t come easy, but without this I can’t be good at either. Recruit a tribe! I<br />
have an incredible support system which is worth its weight in liquid gold. The best<br />
piece of mothering advice you ever received? JULIA: In any uncertainty, I try to<br />
imagine myself at that age and think how I would feel in a situation. Also, don’t forget<br />
the small things - what might seem small to me may be a mountain to a little soul.<br />
ROXY: Don’t compare yourself to other mothers. We are all a hot mess, some just<br />
hide it better than others. Details: www.saintandsummer.co.za, @saintandsummer<br />
Catherine Clark - Harvest Table<br />
Catherine started a business called The Harvest Table<br />
just over three years ago while she was still working<br />
full time as a business manager. “I was very interested<br />
in my health and that of my family, and started<br />
developing food products for us to use at home.<br />
Other people seemed to be interested in them<br />
too …and so the business began!” Your top tip for<br />
juggling motherhood and being a businesswoman?<br />
Managing the juggle between work and home is<br />
never easy, but I’ve learnt to compartmentalise so<br />
that I am fully focused on work when I’m at the office<br />
and fully focused on my family when at home.<br />
The best piece of mothering advice you ever<br />
received? Not to sweat the small stuff but rather to<br />
focus on the end goal of developing well-rounded<br />
and grounded adults. Letting go of the small stuff<br />
has definitely led to a happier home! Details: www.<br />
