Hi, wonderful parents and parents-to-be, I’m Jenny – and this space was born in the quiet, messy, life-changing moments of becoming a mum.
Not the picture-perfect kind you see online.
The real kind.
The 3am feeds.
The silent tears.
The overwhelming love that somehow coexists with exhaustion, doubt, and “am I doing this right?”
Back in 2019, I stepped away from my 9–5 job thinking maternity leave would be a short pause, just a chapter before returning to “normal life.”
But motherhood doesn’t just change your schedule.
It changes you.
Somewhere between sleepless nights and learning how to care for my daughter, Steph, I realised something was missing.
I didn’t need more “perfect parenting advice.”
I needed honesty.
Connection.
A space where mums could say:
👉 “This is hard… is anyone else feeling this too?”
And that’s how Healthy Mum & Bub began.
🌿 From One Mum’s Search… to a Global Community
What started as a personal outlet has grown into a community of parents across Australia, the US and beyond, all navigating the beautifully chaotic journey of raising little humans.
Because here’s the truth:
Parenting isn’t meant to be done alone.
Here, we:
- share real-life parenting experiences (the wins and the wobbles)
- explore practical tips that actually work in busy mum life
- support each other through every stage from pregnancy to toddlerhood and beyond
No judgment.
No pressure to be perfect.
Just real support.
💛 Why This Space Is Different
Everything you’ll find here comes from a place of lived experience.
Not just researched.
Not just curated.
But felt.
From:
- navigating postpartum recovery
- to entertaining a toddler on 2 hours of sleep
- to building a business while raising a child
This isn’t just a blog.
It’s a reflection of my journey as:
- a mum
- a wife
- a digital marketer
- and a woman learning to rebuild her identity after motherhood reshaped everything
🌏 My Journey (And Why It Matters)
My story spans across Australia, long distance relationships with my boyfriend now hubby across the UAE, and Shanghai — but no matter where I’ve lived and traveled, one thing has stayed the same:
👉 The challenges of motherhood are universal.
And so is the need for support.
Healthy Mum & Bub was built to be that space — a place where you feel seen, understood, and supported no matter where you are in the world.
👶 And Then There’s Lil Steph…
She’s the heart behind everything you see here.
The inspiration behind the arts and crafts, the activities, the chaos, the laughter — and the reason this platform exists at all.
You’ll often find her woven into the content, because this isn’t theory…
👉 It’s real life happening in real time.
✨ What You’ll Find Here
If you’re looking for:
- practical parenting tips that actually fit into real life

You’re in the right place.
🤍 You’re Not Just Visiting — You Belong Here
Whether you’re:
- a brand new mum

- or rebuilding your identity beyond motherhood
This space was created for you.
So take a breath.
Grab your coffee (even if it’s gone cold ☕).
And stay a while.
With love,
Jenny Yan
Founder, Healthy Mum & Bub
