We’re so thrilled to share some exciting news with our beautiful Little Paws Plushies community. I was recently named a finalist in not just one, but TWO categories at the 2025 AusMumpreneur Awards! 🎉
💛 Making a Difference in Health & Well-being
💛 Disabled Business Excellence
These awards mean so much to me, both personally and professionally. Little Paws Plushies began as a way to bring comfort and emotional support to people navigating anxiety, neurodivergence, and hidden disabilities. Which is something incredibly close to my heart. To be recognised for making a difference in this space is humbling beyond words.
A Night to Remember ✨
The AusMumpreneur Conference and Gala Dinner was a powerful and emotional experience. I met so many incredible women building purpose-driven businesses, all while raising families, breaking barriers, and lifting each other up.
The event was not just a celebration, but also a powerful learning and networking opportunity. I walked away feeling more connected, inspired, and motivated to keep growing Little Paws Plushies into a brand that continues to help others feel safe, seen, and supported.
An Honourable Mention That Means the World
At the gala dinner, I was deeply honoured to receive an honourable mention in the Disabled Business Excellence category. While I didn’t take home the top award, this recognition feels just as meaningful. Because it validates the journey, the passion, and the mission behind Little Paws Plushies.
This is a win not just for me, but for every individual who has ever felt overlooked, anxious, or different, and found strength in a comforting companion.
Why This Matters
Being acknowledged in these categories is more than an award. It’s a powerful reminder that disability doesn’t mean inability, and that businesses built on compassion, advocacy, and lived experience have the power to change lives.
Little Paws Plushies isn’t just about cute plushies. It’s about normalising emotional support, empowering neurodivergent voices, and creating community through comfort.
Thank You for Being Part of This Journey!
To everyone who has supported us, shared our story, or gifted one of our plushies to someone in need. This honour belongs to you, too. Your belief in what we do fuels every step forward.
Here’s to more growth, more impact, and more moments of comfort.
One Little Paw at a time.
With heartfelt gratitude,
