Have you ever found yourself lying awake at 3 a.m., replaying a conversation with an employee? Or maybe you've had that sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering if you're handling a tricky situation the "right way"?
For so many business owners and leaders, HR isn’t just a task on the to-do list—it's a source of real, genuine stress. It’s the constant worry about compliance, the fear of making a mistake, or the emotional weight of managing people. This is the feeling I get to help people with every single day, and the one thing I've found my clients are truly looking for: peace of mind.
I'm Karen Hillen, an HR consultant from My HR Partner, and I started this business with a simple goal: to give business owners back their most precious commodity—their headspace.
A Coffee, a Chat, and a Huge Weight Lifted
I remember a client, let's call her Sarah, who ran a plumbing business. When we first met, she was completely exhausted. She had a brilliant team, but a few small issues had snowballed. There was a difficult performance review, a question about annual leave, one employee that was always late and the overwhelming feeling that she just wasn't sure what she was supposed to be doing. She was spending more time worrying about HR than she was on running the business.
We had an HR advice call, I listened to her story, and we started untangling the mess, piece by piece. We didn't just "fix" the problems; we built a simple, clear roadmap for her business. A few weeks later, she sent me a message. "Karen," she wrote, "I slept through the night for the first time in months. I feel like I can finally focus on running the business with so much less stress."
How We Find Your Peace of Mind: A Structured Approach
My role isn't about giving you a stack of complex documents and leaving you to it. It’s about being your partner, your guide, and your safety net. Here are just a few of the ways we work together to find that feeling of calm:
We Simplify the Complex: HR compliance can feel like a foreign language. I translate it into plain English, so you understand exactly what you need to do and why. No more guesswork, no more sleepless nights wondering if you missed something crucial.
We Proactively Protect Your Business: Instead of just reacting to problems, we put simple, effective systems in place to prevent them from happening in the first place. Think of it as putting on your HR armour—it protects your small business from the unexpected.
We Give You a Clear, Confident Path Forward: Whether it's a difficult conversation or a new workplace policy, you’ll have a clear plan and the confidence to execute it. You'll know what to say, what to do, and you'll have someone to lean on if things get tough.

The Takeaway: You Don't Have to Do It Alone
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that being a great business owner doesn't mean you have to be an expert in everything. It’s about building a strong team and knowing when to ask for help. HR doesn’t have to be a source of constant stress. It can be a foundation for a healthy, happy, and thriving workplace.
