For Steph Clark the decision to join Lorraine Lea came from the desire to stay at home with her beautiful son.

Steph wanted to be able to spend more time with her family while still maintaining financial freedom.

In the space of just 7 months, she has climbed from Stylepreneur to Executive Stylist & has saved more than when working full time at a law firm!

With her mum, Trish Clark, guiding her on her journey as her Leader, Steph is well on her way to becoming the ultimate Boss Babe.

Andrea - I originally viewed Lorraine Lea as a side-hustle while my children were young, but I now see this business as a ‘real’ job with endless opportunities. Lorraine Lea fits my family and allows me to be there for my children’s special moments. Personally, I have enjoyed amazing recognition and rewards, including two overseas trips.

Beth - I’ve had many varied roles in my professional career, from nursing to adult education, so when Andrea talked to me about trying Lorraine Lea as a more flexible option, I wondered if it was for me. Now, I can honestly say, joining Lorraine Lea has been the best career decision.

The positive impact my Lorraine Lea career has had on my family is indescribable. Succeeding in this career has allowed me to demonstrate to my children that with a good work ethic, anything is possible, no matter who you are or where you've come from. There's no doubt in my mind that Lorraine Lea has been the best thing I could have done for my family.

A mother of four kids, working full-time wasn't an option for Cherrie. Feeling fortunate to have found a company that allows her the flexibility to put her family first, Cherrie now runs a multi-million dollar business in Victoria, while still being there for her children and grandchildren.

When my marriage broke down, I was left with 3 young kids and a lot of financial stress. I had a mortgage I couldn't afford and just kept getting further into debt. Even though I had a part-time government job, I needed something else to help make ends meet, and that's when I turned to Lorraine Lea. 

With plans to grow their family, Fallon and her husband began looking into different options to increase their financial freedom. After weighing up the cost of starting a traditional business with her husband, Fallon discovered that there was a cheaper way to determine her earning potential and still be a stay-at-home mum. Now in her fourth year with Lorraine Lea, Fallon is turning over twice as much as she would have in the business she'd considerd investing in and still enjoying time with her kids.

Before Lorraine Lea, Rachell Mudie of Victoria was juggling a full-time accounts job, coaching netball teams and ferrying her three kids to all their sporting commitments. Now a Senior Team Leader, Rachell turns a considerable profit and inspires a team of other women, to achieve their own dreams. With a career she is passionate about and the ability to 'be there' for her family's important moments, Rachell is never going back to working a 'regular job'.

Kiri O'Brien always wanted to be a stay at home mum, but after selling the Florist she had owned and operated for 8 years she realised she missed having a social outlet during the day. The Lorraine Lea opportunity appealed to her because it allowed her 'me' time while also contributing to the family finances. Today, Kiri has built a significant business, that has seen her on company trips to Paris and Singapore, and earning more than she could have as a florist, all while still being able to be home with her children.

For Mandy Hudson, her decision making has always revolved around what's best for her three kids. Swapping work in the mines for a home business when she became pregnant with her first child, Mandy was familiar with the flexibility her Lorraine Lea business could provide. So, when she began parenting three children on her own, it made perfect sense to take her operation to the next level. Now, with a business that generates sales of more than $1.6 million a year, she encourages everyone to seriously consdier a Lorraine Lea career.

When she decided to start her Lorraine Lea business, Melinda Felix, was struggling to make ends meet. After seeing an ad in her local paper, she invested her last $100 on her Starter Kit deposit and has since built a successful business that has paid for her wedding, investment properties and the building of her own home. Encouraged by the flexibility and earning potential her business provides, Melinda has been able to build a career that has grown with her family.

Home decorating is my passion, and I was a Lorraine Lea customer for 18 years before I considered becoming an Independent Stylist. Initially, it was the 40% discount on product that appealed to me, but when my husband took a significant pay cut to start an apprenticeship, the profits from my business became integral in supplementing family finances.

Suffering a breakdown as a result of her high-pressure job, Mel began looking for an alternative career option. She wanted something that gave her the flexibility to work around her health needs, while still providing a good income. Lorraine Lea ticked all the boxes. As her health improved, Mel was able to put more energy into her business and could see the results. As a Stylist, she works less hours and earns much more than she ever did before, without any of the stress she’d felt in her previous job.
