Smashing Social Media as an Introvert - Elayne Heaney - Wonderfully Weathery Books

“I went through this journey with my little boy and it’s ours”.

In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Elayne Heaney from Wonderfully Weathery Books. We chat about her love of being a Mum and how the special relationship with her little boy was the key driver behind her passion to create her magical land of Weatherville. This beautiful world was created from their story time together and his inquisitive mind.

“It was a love story to my little boy”.

Elayne who is the very definition of Corporate to Calm worked in HR where she thrived and excelled through the ranks. Like most of us she didn’t realise her last day in the office was the day she went on maternity leave.

Elayne is also a former dancer and a self- confessed introvert. She literally musters the courage every day to eat her frogs. We chatted about how in the corporate world getting things done wasn’t an issue and how we put roadblocks in the way when we are doing it for ourselves. We also chatted about being working Mums “if I had all day, it would be amazing” but as we know we don’t we scramble to get the work done while they are at school, we get into a flow and we must bring them to soccer or swimming. The struggle as a Mum with their own business is real.

Elayne’s chat is honest, refreshing and you soon realise this is a powerhouse of a woman, seriously, self-published and growing her brand from strength to strength. It was amazing to me that she questioned herself, often felt imposter syndrome and worried whether others thought she had notions.  

Elayne’s biggest piece of advice is do your research and ask the questions. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other people in the industry. We also chatted about the bread bin being the sin bin and that’s where she pops the phone when she is enjoying family time.

Elayne Heaney is here to stay she has created an amazing world with a never-ending number of characters, and I can’t wait for my little ones to read her beautiful books.

So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting and hopefully enjoy Elayne’s journey from Corporate to Calm x
