Siân Headley creates of Robins Bobbins. This magical range includes eye fun capes, bird wings to die for, cuffs wands and crowns and even felt paws and claws!

Siân used to be a head of music teaching in high schools, before giving it all up, following her inner voice to fully step into this life! This wasn’t a light decision as you can imagine, but Siân was experiencing huge anxiety after 15 years in the teaching world and now 2 children and battling with insomnia Siân took the plunge and dared to jump and guess what? She’s not looked back! In fact, Siân says she’s making more money now than when she did as the head of music!

Robbins bobbins keeps sustainability at the forefront of the business and what else I love is that Sian helped raise a huge amount of money from her sales for the NHS too.

As you will hear, we discussed what this lockdown home-schooling for her 6 year old business with 3 children and how she navigated it all and what are so and boys reaction to it all.
