1mum-who are we

The 1MUM Team

Simple advice for smart people is what 1MUM has to offer. We focus on Money, Health and Lifestyle pulling together as much useful information as we can find to help you make the right money, health and lifestyle choices for you and your family. With a pinch of humour and a dollop of compassion we aim to hit topics head on to help you laugh, cry and avoid eating that fry.

The 1MUM crack team all have something in common - their wicked sense of humour and the ability to laugh in the face of adversity.

It's just bloody good common sense so it is.

Managing Director

Passionate Nomad - here I am investigating Queenstown, New Zealand

I have worked in corporates and digital for over 15 years and I am passionate about the customer. I want to offer useful information on Money, Health and Lifestyle to help you and your family get on and enjoy yourselves without worrying about the little things.

I came up with 1MUM after I faced a number of changes such as career, moving cities for what felt like the 15th time, having my first baby and not being able to find the type of information that I wanted to read online.

Sally Tyrie

Director of Finance

Passionate Health Nut - my philosophy in life, the more natural the better.

I am excited about finance and helping to de-bunk peoples finance fears. You can gain a lot from understanding your APR's from your interest rates and which mortgage you need to get.

In addition I am a novelist and working mum and am about to publish my first novel which I hope to be on every best seller list before the end of the year!

As a pescetarian and self-confessed health nut, I am passionate about all things healthy and can regularly be heard spouting off about the benefits of quinoa, my new best friend at the same time as telling you where to invest your extra cash.

Bronwyn Walker

Director of Health & Nutrition

Foodie

Hi, my name is Bronwyn Walker and I am (arguably) Sydney’s biggest foodie! Luckily for the waistline, I am also a nutritional consultant and passionate about healthy eating and believe that food is medicine; for the body and for the soul.

Travel is a favourite with food being a major feature on every jaunt and just like the British novelist Virginia Woolf, believe that ‘one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.’ I look forward to sharing tips, hints, yummy recipes and food trivia with you.

Happy and healthy eating, Bron x

Finance Advisor

Newcastle United supporter

Hi, I am Ben, I have over 10 years experience in financial services and have worked in the UK and New Zealand before settling and working in Australia.

I believe setting your own personal financial strategy is key to achieving what you want. If your financial plan is working well in the short term that will drive the long term, but if you are unsure as to what you should be doing financially, or you think things could be done better, then that's where people like me come in!

Australia has a complex financial system, but with complexity comes potential, and as we know, every little extra helps; be it accessing Centrelink benefits, paying less tax, paying off debt quicker, or getting more out of your super. The best single tip I can give, is to pay down debt... paying off non tax deductible debt is one of the simplest and effective financial strategies.

"After starting my career in ad agencies, I was on a working holiday to London when I got my first online job. I fell in love with the way that the web has something for everyone!

12 years on, I’ve held marketing and commercial roles for a collection of web businesses. But after a move back to Australia my days are now mainly spent running around after my one-year old son. I know it’s a cliché, but it’s the hardest job I’ve ever done..."
