“No, Sadly I am not a mother, but being a Nanny, an Aunt, a Godmother and a Step-mother, has lead to so much joy in my life. Twenty children to engage with in a really special way.
It is a privilege.”

Her career after that was in management training, sales & marketing, personal training & studying Positive Psychology – plus 21 years working with an entrepreneur, at 50 her life culminated in her book.
Libbla sees it as a journal of motivation and communication, hoping to share her experiences, thoughts and energy with hints and essential messages of wisdom, that can, and do, make a difference to young people’s lives.
All through her life she always connected wonderfully with the young. and having no children herself, her journey was instead with 14 Godchildren, 4 nieces and nephews, 3 stepsons and those she had nannied for. She wrote the book for all of them, her Godmotherly guidance now selling into schools as a Wellbeing Tool in PSHE classes and aiding Pastoral Care.
