Hi, I’m Ashe — 47, a mum, PE teacher and now the founder of White Line FVR, a business and brand born from burnout and built on purpose.
I Thought I’d Be a Teacher Forever — Until Burnout Showed Me There Was Another Way
Not just in career — but in identity. In heart.
I had been a PE teacher for 23 years. I loved guiding others, lifting them, seeing their potential. But over time, the joy I once felt disappeared. The job became just that — a job — trapped in a system I couldn’t change, weighed down by endless rules, red tape, and expectations that never ended. It no longer inspired me; it drained me.
And that weight didn’t stay at school. It followed me home, adding to the relentless demands of being a mum, a partner, a support for my children. The calm in the chaos. Every day felt like I was holding up a world that wasn’t mine, trying to keep everyone else afloat while I was barely keeping myself together.
One of my children battled severe anxiety, and I wanted to be there — emotionally, physically, completely; but I was spent, disconnected from joy, from life, from myself.
Maybe you’ve felt this too — like life is running you instead of the other way around.
Modern Mums Are Told They Must Do It All — And Why That’s Burning Us Out
Many burnt-out midlife mums feel trapped by these expectations, trying to do it all and losing themselves along the way.
- Chase the career
- Be the ever-present mum
- Hold everything together for everyone else
We’ve been told this relentless juggling act makes us strong, capable, even ‘good’ mothers. But the truth? It’s killing us — and showing our kids that exhaustion is just the price of love. Isn’t that the fear that keeps us up at night — that in trying to hold everything together, we’ll mess them up?
This is just another impossible standard — another sideline society has drawn for us.
What if the best role model isn’t the mum who does it all — but the one who dares to stop?
To stop living for everyone else.
To step over the line……and choose freedom, value, and reward over exhaustion, guilt and invisibility.
To build a life that finally feels like hers again.
Maybe that’s what you’ve been craving too — where you have energy to be present without guilt, where your choices feel like yours and not dictated by everyone else’s expectations, a life that lights you up!
Because maybe the most powerful lesson we can teach our kids…
is how to stop living by someone else’s rules — and start designing a life that makes you feel alive, on your terms.
I Wanted More: Freedom, Purpose, Joy — And a Life I Really Loved
And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered — Discovering a Flexible Online Business
I had given so much of myself for so long, there was almost nothing left.
My life might have looked fine from the outside — but inside, I was desperately craving more.
What I Was Really Craving (Even If I Couldn’t Admit It Yet)
- Space to breathe
- Freedom to choose how I spent my time
- To feel like I mattered again — not just as a teacher or mum, but as a person
- To contribute something meaningful to the world
- To feel alive, not just functioning
But at the time, I didn’t know if that was even possible.
Every day, I pushed through exhaustion, guilt gnawing at me, resentment creeping in. I hated that nothing felt fulfilling, that I had no energy or drive, because I was just so drained — running on empty, giving everything to everyone else and nothing to myself.
I felt like I was failing everywhere — and still had to smile.
“Is this really it? Is this all my life gets to be?”
I knew something had to change because,
“what you don’t change, you’re choosing.”
So, the teacher in me started researching.
How could I build a better life — one with more time, more money, more meaning?
I was searching for a better quality of life — motivation, freedom, and the energy to step over that line and fully live again.
Along the way, I kept coming across one idea that seemed to make sense for someone like me: affiliate marketing. I saw so many mums promoting products online, building flexible businesses, and creating real results without quitting their lives or losing themselves in the process.
I didn’t fully understand it at first, but I knew it was worth looking into further.
Affiliate Marketing in Plain English — How Burnt-Out Mums Can Start a Flexible Online Business
Affiliate marketing is a way to earn commission by promoting products you believe in online. It’s beginner-friendly and works well for mums who want flexible income without a huge time commitment.
You don’t need to:
- Create your own product
- Manage inventory
- Deal with customer service
Instead, you simply share products you believe in — and earn a commission when someone buys through your link.
For time-poor, emotionally drained mums, it’s a breath of fresh air because:
✅ You can start as a beginner — no tech skills or experience needed
✅ It’s low-risk — no physical products or big startup costs
✅ You build a personal brand around your values
✅ You work around your family, at your own pace
✅ Real potential for time, financial, and emotional freedom
It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s a smart, scalable business model and with the right education and mentorship, it becomes a powerful way to take back control of your life.
How I Started Without Experience — Step by Step
I knew I wanted more than just survival — time to breathe, energy to enjoy life, and a way to contribute meaningfully while still being present for my family. I needed something flexible, something that could fit around the life I already had while giving me the potential to build a better one. When I came across affiliate marketing, it immediately felt like it could be the answer.
I explored every option — side hustles, online business ideas, ways to work more flexibly from home — but affiliate marketing stood out. Beginner-friendly and flexible, it felt like a path that could help me reclaim my life without adding more stress.
Then I stumbled upon an article that felt incredibly familiar. The author’s story echoed my own challenges, and she introduced a free video series she’d discovered. I decided to watch it, and what followed began transforming the way I saw my life, my work, and my future.
It didn’t feel like hype or hustle.
It promised real education, grounded in values, teaching practical skills for building an online business from scratch — including affiliate marketing, e-commerce, digital products, and personal branding.
Maybe this was the path that could help me feel alive again — with space to breathe, laugh, and truly enjoy life.
So, I took a breath, followed that gut pull, and gave this online business thing a go — something simple, flexible, and made for beginners like me.
But then the voice in my head spoke: ‘Who am I to do this? I’m just a teacher and a mum.’ I had no experience and very few tech skills. Still, curiosity and a quiet hope kept me moving forward.
The program guided me step by step. With every task I completed, every small skill I learned, I felt more confident that what I was creating mattered — not just as a business, but as a part of me I’d been waiting to rediscover.

And that’s where Sabine comes in.
The Mentor Who Helped Me Remember Who I Was
Sabine wasn’t just successful; she was fulfilled and inspired to help others. She helped me untangle what I wanted my life — and my brand — to truly stand for.
She asked questions no one had asked in years, or ever:
- What do you truly value — not as a mum, not as a teacher, but as a woman with your own dreams?
- What did you used to dream about before you stopped giving yourself permission to want more?
- If you could finally take control of your time, what would a typical day look like?
- What legacy do you want to leave your children — not just in words, but in example?
My answers became the soul of White Line FVR — a brand built on Freedom, Value, Reward, for mums who feel forgotten and want their spark back.
This isn’t just about business or money. It’s about reclaiming your identity, your power, your passion — and showing your children what it looks like when a woman stops settling and starts leading her life.

Building a Life That Lights You Up — Freedom, Flexibility, Purpose
This business has given me clarity, energy, and a vision for a life that feels more like mine.
It’s helping me reclaim:
- Presence — to be mentally and emotionally available for my kids and myself
- Energy and joy — to feel excited to live my days
- Purpose & impact — to do work that truly matters
- Freedom — to live life on my terms
- Financial confidence — with the potential to support myself and my family
For the first time in years, I’m not pushing through someone else’s plan. I’m building mine — White Line FVR.
I chose the name because it represents the moment I stopped standing on the sidelines — and started stepping back into the game of my own life.
In sport, white line fever is the energy and fire an athlete feels stepping onto the field — when the game begins and everything else fades away. I wanted my brand to carry that same energy, but in a way that speaks to life beyond the playing field.
As a PE teacher for over two decades, I’d spent years watching students stand behind that white line… waiting to be called in. Waiting for permission to play.
And I realised — that was me.
Waiting. Exhausted. Wanting more. But unsure how to step in.
The FVR is more than just a nod to the word “fever”, it’s an acronym for Freedom. Value. Reward.
✔ Freedom – the power to choose your path, live life on your terms, and do what you truly want, free from obligations or expectations
✔ Value – to reclaim your worth, feel proud of who you are, and know that what you do truly makes a difference
✔ Reward – to experience emotional fulfillment, financial independence, and the satisfaction of a life you’re proud of……
The things I was desperately craving — and exactly what this journey began to give back to me.
Why a Work-from-Home Online Business Works for Burnt-Out Midlife Mums
This isn’t about becoming an influencer.
It’s not about selling to your friends.
And it’s definitely not about burning out again in a new way.
It’s about finally having something that fits you — your energy, your values, your life.
Because when you’re a mum who’s been holding everything together for everyone else, what you really need isn’t more to do — it’s more control over how you do it.
An online business gives you exactly that.
It works because it allows you to:
💻 Learn a real, modern skillset that opens doors online — not just for business, but for your confidence, creativity, and future opportunities.
❤️ Build around what matters most to you — your family, your time, your values. You set the pace, the purpose, and the direction.
🕰️ Create flexibility and balance — so work fits around your life, not the other way around.
💸 Create passive income — take control of your finances and gain freedom to live life on your terms.
🌱 Grow at your own pace — rebuilding your energy and confidence while creating something that feels like you again.
🙌 Surround yourself with support — mentors, mums, and a community who get it, who lift you when you forget your own power.
⚡ Design a life that truly excites and empowers you — one that fills you up instead of draining you dry.
Because after years of running on empty, what most of us are craving isn’t another goal or title.
It’s breathing space. Freedom. Meaning.
And when you finally give yourself that — something shifts.
You stop just surviving and start crossing that white line — into a life that feels electric, expansive, and fully yours.
You Don’t Need to Be Ready. You Just Need to Be Done with How Things Are
If you’re standing where I stood — overwhelmed, invisible, quietly breaking — I want you to know:
This path isn’t just for people like me.
It’s for people like you.
