Reintroducing myself because there’s so much more behind this business than balloons 🤍
Hi, I’m Chantelle owner of CwBalloons&Events, boy mum, over-thinker, perfectionist and the woman usually covered in balloon glue and running on iced coffee and determination 😂
What many people don’t see is the journey it took to get here.
After becoming a mum, I struggled deeply with postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. Later came a bipolar diagnosis, which answered so many questions but also brought a whole new battle to navigate.
Then life threw another challenge at me when I was involved in a serious car accident that shattered my arm and elbow and caused serious nerve damage. I had to learn how to use my arm again, went through multiple operations and still live with daily pain now.
At one point I genuinely felt lost.
I couldn’t return to my old job.
I didn’t know what my future looked like anymore.
But becoming a mum changed me in ways I can’t explain.
I knew I wanted more for both of us.
More freedom.
More memories.
More time together.
A life where I didn’t have to ask permission to attend a school concert, sports day or last-minute cuddle when he needed me most.
So with absolutely no clue what I was doing at first… I started CwBalloons&Events.
And somehow, what started as an idea during one of the hardest periods of my life turned into a business I’m so proud of today.
This business gave me purpose again.
Confidence again.
A reason to believe in myself again.
So if you’ve ever supported my little business liked a post, shared my work, booked with me or even recommended me to someone else thank you.
You’ve supported more than just a business.
You’ve supported a woman rebuilding her life from scratch 🤍
