Life as a mum, business owner, and self-proclaimed cat concierge to Gary the ginger Maine Coon is a whirlwind. One minute I’m refereeing a debate over what to play on the Nintendo, and the next, I’m in a meeting with my hubby making decisions for Shruum. Balancing the chaos of family life with the demands of running a business isn’t just exhausting - it’s an art form.
The balancing act of career and family life is no joke. Managing school runs, navigating work calls, and dealing with the occasional cat drama require focus, stamina, and stress management. That’s where mushrooms come in for mood support, offering natural support to help me stay sharp and energised.
But I’ve got a little secret that helps me stay sharp, energised, and (mostly) sane: Shruum’s Mushroom Complex Capsules. Packed with the power of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Shiitake, Maitake, and Reishi mushrooms, along with Vitamin D3 and Zinc, these capsules are my daily go-to for maintaining energy and mental clarity.
My Family Survival Kit (Yes, It Involves Mushrooms)
Running a household with two kids, a needy Maine Coon, and a business is no joke. Between school runs, snack raids, emotional meltdowns (some which are mine 
Enter: my Mushroom Complex capsules. AKA: the magical fungi helping me keep it together. 
Lion’s Mane - For My Mum Brain Moments
Every day starts with a strong cup of coffee… and a confused stare into the fridge. Did I feed Gary? Did I already reheat that coffee twice?
That’s why I rely on Lion’s Mane mushroom capsules to keep my brain on track. Known for their cognitive-boosting powers, they help me stay focused through meetings and remember where I put my phone (and my sanity).
Why it’s in my kit: Mental clarity, memory support, and fewer what-was-I-doing-again? Moments.
Cordyceps - For My Husband, the Human Power Tool
My husband’s not out here pretending he doesn’t need coffee - he drinks it, he works, and he just… keeps going. He’s not a napper (unless it’s his day off), but even then, he’s more likely catching up on side projects than catching z’s. Honestly, he might be more machine than man. 😉
Cordyceps brings that natural, sustained energy - without the crash or jittery coffee buzz. It’s adaptogenic fuel for the long-haul brainpower and stamina he runs on. Basically, it’s his secret weapon to go full throttle without burning out.
Why it’s in the kit: Natural energy, no jitters, and stamina for surviving bedtime chaos.
Shiitake - For Luka’s Germs
Luka’s nursery is basically a Petri dish. If someone’s got a sniffle, it’s coming home with us.
Shiitake mushrooms are amazing for immune support - packed with antioxidants and compounds that help you stay on your feet (and out of bed, hopefully). 🙏🏼
Why it’s in the kit: Keeps my immune system from waving the white flag every other week.
Maitake - For My Sweet Tooth (and Post-Cake Crashes)
When there’s cake in the house, resistance is not my strong suit. Maitake mushrooms help regulate blood sugar levels and support metabolic health - a quiet hero for those afternoons when I’ve inhaled a slice of Victoria sponge and immediately regretted nothing.
Why it’s in the kit: Blood sugar balance, energy stability, and less sugar crash crankiness.
Reishi - For My Sanity (and Gary’s, Honestly)
By the end of the day, I’m juggling kids, deadlines, and a ginger cat demanding attention like he pays rent.
Reishi mushrooms are known for promoting relaxation and helping with stress. Think of them as emotional bubble wrap - softening the edges of an overwhelming day.
Why it’s in the kit: Stress relief, mood balance, and avoiding the urge to hide in the bathroom just for silence.
Last But Not Least: The Bonus Players: Vitamin D3 + Zinc
Living in the UK, we treat sunshine like a rare collectible. That’s where Vitamin D3 comes in - supporting immunity, mood, and bone health.
And Zinc? It’s the immune-boosting multitasker I didn’t know I needed. From keeping my skin healthy to helping with recovery after illness, it’s the quiet achiever of the bunch. 🏅
Why I Chose Shruum
I didn’t just create Shruum for other people - I created it for myself. I know how demanding life can be, and I wanted supplements that truly supported the modern, busy lifestyle. Our Mushroom Complex Capsules are:
- Vegan and made with plant-based goodness.
- UK-made to ensure quality and safety.
- Comprehensive to support energy, mental clarity, and resilience.
Final Thoughts
Mum life doesn’t come with a manual - but if it did, this Mushroom Complex would be underlined, highlighted, and bookmarked.
So whether I’m chasing after Luka, negotiating with Olivija over which shoes are “actually comfy,” or removing Gary from my laptop again, these mushrooms are helping me stay calm, focused, and (mostly) functional.
Take it from me: With a little help from mushrooms, you won’t just get through the day - you’ll conquer it. 💪
