About Me
About Mum of a Warrior Co
Hi, I’m Wendy — founder of Mum of a Warrior Co, parent to a Type 1 Warrior, professional overthinker, part-time pancreas impersonator, and permanently running on caffeine and interrupted sleep. 😅
This brand was born somewhere between the 2am CGM alarms, emergency jelly tots, carb counting, and standing in the kitchen wondering how one tiny human can somehow crash so low and spike so high in the same night.
Mum of a Warrior Co wasn’t created by a big company or a marketing team. It was created by a parent living this life in real time — the exhaustion, the fear, the dark humour, the strength you didn’t ask for, and the weird little community that forms when people truly get it.
Every slogan, every design, every “slightly sweary” hoodie comes from real moments:
the sleep deprivation
the burnout
the constant mental tabs open in your brain
the “did you bolus?” reminders on repeat
and the fact we somehow still show up every single day and do it anyway
This shop is for:
- the mums doing midnight corrections
- the dads carrying hypo snacks everywhere
- the grandparents learning carb counts
- the siblings who worry quietly
- the teachers trying their best
- and the Warriors themselves 💙
Some designs are emotional. Some are sarcastic. Some are held together entirely by caffeine and trauma responses.
More than anything, I wanted to create something that makes people feel seen — because Type 1 Diabetes affects the whole family, and a lot of us are carrying far more than people realise.
You’re not just buying a hoodie here. You’re supporting a real family, a real community, and a brand built from lived experience.
So whether you’re here because you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, proud, surviving on vibes alone, or just wanted a hoodie that finally says what you’re actually thinking…
Welcome to the club 💙
