… and I don’t know about you but I know I’m struggling with it all. And that feeling is very valid. I’m allowed to be struggling. I’m allowed to feel uncertain, worried, concerned and unsure and also a little bit numb. We don’t know what we are dealing with. We don’t know what the […]
Did you know that most mums work a 14 hour shift, 7 days a week That’s the equivalent to 2.5 FULL TIME JOBS. It’s no surprise therefore that we feel overwhelmed, burned out, frazzled, fed up, physically and mentally exhausted. How is that overwhelm affecting you? What is the impact of this on you? When […]
On Friday I decided to make a small change. I decided to walk to nursery rather than drive. It may seem super easy but normally, in my head, my time is so tight that I don’t allow myself the extra 20 mins each way as I think what can do in that child free time. But […]
I’m back to work today after a couple of weeks off. I think this is almost the first time in a year I’ve actually taken a big chunk of time off and really rested. Like so many others we were plagued by viruses but it was such a good excuse to do little and also […]

Part of the exercise was to start identifying how that future you was different to you today. […]

It’s hard to imagine how life would be if they didn’t feel anxious, stressed, busy, worried or something else all the time. They don’t know how a day would look like if they […]
All over my social media for the last few days I’ve watched that clip of Meghan Markle documenting publicly what so many mums go through. I am so sorry that she’s had to go through this so publicly. It’s the epitome of vulnerability and it’s something we could all take lessons from in a number […]
Last week I wrote all about failure and about how we give ourselves a really hard time as mums specifically around failure and how we’re so good at focusing in on failure. This week I was keen to cover why failure can actually be a good thing. It’s a really helpful thing to happen […]
I’ve been busy back at work over the last week now that the kids are finally back and school and well (whoop whoop) . There’s a real recurring theme with my clients around failure – and a sense of failure when we haven’t achieved perceived perfection. We give ourselves such a hard time around failure. […]
