Bounce - Living today, protecting tomorrow
When I met Ashley, the CEO of the insurance company Bounce (https://bouncelife.co.uk/), and Rachel Brookes, the Network Development Manager, it was clear from the start that Bounce and Mpower share similar values around empowering others (particularly mothers) and creating opportunities to flexibly combine earning a great living with motherhood.
Bounce is all about providing people with the right insurance products to ensure they, their families and their business are protected and can bounce back from unforeseen setbacks and challenges. Receiving the right knowledge and support and having peace of mind when it comes to our home, family and business is also something I see as invaluable.
Bounce is also hugely passionate about using its business to provide work from home opportunities for mums who want to fit work in around their kids, empowering them to make a difference to the lives of others with their services but also enabling them to transform their own lives through building up additional income through their successful referral network.
So, I’m really excited to be bringing you this podcast series in collaboration with the Bounce - you can find out more by visiting the Bounce website (https://bouncelife.co.uk/)

Launching her first Business
Deciding to take the business to the next level by rebranding
Remaining postive throught her treatments and surgerys
The key to staying positive through difficult circumstances
 
More about Gemma
PUREMESS came about after a second breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. I have always had a healthy approach to life, eating well and exercising, and thought I used what I considered to be natural products. However, with a busy lifestyle and a family to look after I had never really taken the time to research what was actually in those products. Using my science background I decided to start formulating and making my own products, using only the finest natural ingredients I could find. And that's how it all started!
