Episode 1 - My Journey:

In this debut episode of Between the School Run, Kelly Reynolds shares her personal story of switching from a long corporate career to running a Messy Play franchise, surviving lockdowns, and ultimately following her passion for digital marketing. Hear how early career choices, parenting priorities, and unexpected setbacks, like running into multiple lockdowns and a broken car, shaped her path to creating Kelly Reynolds Socials and becoming a children’s activities business strategist.

Kelly explains the tough decisions, the pivots that mattered, and the marketing skills she used to rebuild and scale her business, then turned into a new mission to help others do the same.
