November Recap: MOBsters, Here’s How We’re Empowering Mums to Build Their Dream Future! By Georgie, CO-Founder of The MOB
Hey, MOBsters! ✌️
Can you believe how quickly November flew by? With Christmas right around the corner, it’s hard to keep up! But before we dive into the holiday madness, let’s take a moment to reflect on all the amazing moments, connections, and breakthroughs that made November a month to remember here at Mums who build. Whether you’re a busy mum looking to enhance your finances, reconnect with your style, or grow your business, November had something incredible for everyone!
💡 Financial Fitness InstaLive with Jo Dean – Are You On Track for Your Full State Pension?
We kicked off the month with an insightful InstaLive session hosted by our resident financial Advisor, Jo Dean. We covered everything from savings strategies to the State Pension Forecast, and let me tell you – you won’t want to miss these tips.
Did you know?
To receive your full state pension, you need a certain number of years of National Insurance contributions. Jo’s top tip: head over to the Government Gateway website and check your state pension forecast today. You might have gaps in your National Insurance record, but the good news is you can buy back missing years. However, after April 2025, you’ll only be able to go back a few years instead of nearly 20 years, so it's essential to act soon.
Get ahead and check it now to make sure you’re on track for your future. and if you want to watch the instalive with jo you can catch-up here.
For more tips on securing your financial future, don’t miss our next Finance InstaLive on 16 December at 11:30 am. You can also reach out to Jo directly at Jo@avantiwm.co.uk if you have questions in the meantime!

🧳 Weemovers Dance Class – Mums, Babies & Preschoolers Getting Moving Together!
In November, we teamed up with Weemovers for a fun-filled dance class that was all about moving, grooving, and having a blast with our little ones! Whether you had a baby in tow or a preschooler by your side, it was the perfect way to bond with your child while getting a bit of exercise and releasing some of that built-up mum energy. The session was a fantastic way to connect with other mums, let loose, and enjoy some playful moments with our little ones – because let’s face it, sometimes we all need to shake it out! We had so much fun, and we can’t wait to do more of these collaborations in the future.

They shared insights into the energetics of business and how being mindful of your nervous system can help you thrive in both life and work.
