What are we thinking? Bring this book to life? Or finish one of my other open projects first 🤔🤭

You can’t override overwhelm with words
(face it, we’ve all tried)

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve told myself
“just stay calm” in my head

And I mean it when I say it
I really do

But when I’m already overwhelmed…
when the noise is loud, everyone needs something, and I haven’t had a second to myself all day

those words don’t touch the sides

Because it’s not happening in my thoughts
it’s happening in my body

The tight chest
the tension

That’s why the scripts don’t work in the moment

What does help (even just a little) is something small enough my body can actually follow

Dropping my shoulders
One slower breath

That tiny shift can take the edge off just enough
to respond instead of react

If you’re in a season where the overwhelm feels close to the surface most days
and one breath doesn’t always cut it

I’ve put together a quick nervous system reset you can come back to in those moments

It’s simple, realistic, and made just for the chaos

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy i’m not saying it’s your fault, I’m just saying don’t feel bad if we stop caring so much about what you think ok?

We carry the biological blueprint for creating life… and yet a passing comment on a Tuesday can shrink you down to “not quite enough.”

Somewhere deep in your body feedback doesn’t sound like “a note on performance.”
It asks - am I still safe here? am I still valued? do I still belong?

And suddenly Jeremy isn’t just Jeremy.
He becomes the gatekeeper of approval. The mirror you didn’t ask for.

Meanwhile, the truth sits quietly in the background, completely unaffected:

You were already enough before the meeting.
You were enough during it.
You are enough after it.

Competence can grow. Conversations can be handled differently next time.

But your worth was actually never up for review.

It’s wild how quickly we hand that power away though… like slipping the keys of your inner world across the table to someone who doesn’t even realise they’re holding them.

The work isn’t becoming someone Jeremy approves of.

It’s learning how to take those keys back 🔑

P.s. apologies to any Jeremy’s hurt in the making of this post it was unintentional

You’re trying to override overwhelm with words and it ain’t working (been there 🙋🏼‍♀️)

We need to regulate ourselves in the moment BEFORE we can go into the situation with words and be the mum we want to be (link in bio for details)

Also, I cut this down and saved you all from listening to 3 minutes of me on my soap box about needing to calm our systems first before we can react the way we want to, so, you’re welcome 🤭

It’s not one big thing that does it, it’s the build up

And most of the time we don’t notice it until we’re already in the thick of it. When everything feels louder for some reason, more intense, harder, those thoughts of “am I failing at this?” Might even start to creep in.

You’re not failing

I encourage you to see those feelings and thoughts as little emergency flares being sent up by your body, we want to listen to those cues to stop and reset

In these moments a small pause can change everything, it can help us from being overwhelmed and frazzled, to feeling calmer and more in control

I’ve put the resets I use myself and with my clients in an easy to use in the moment package, something super straightforward so you can follow it in the middle of the chaos

It’s called

You can have all the bubble baths in the world but if you’re not physically and emotionally supported in motherhood it’s gonna suck, well, at least be harder

Self-care isn’t the problem.
And it isn’t the solution either.

Because the issue was never that mothers forgot to take a bath, drink tea, or do a face mask (I’ve got more on what self care actually is and isn’t in other posts if you’re interested DM me!)

The issue is that the expectations placed on mothers have grown…
while the support systems around them have quietly disappeared.

So now we tell exhausted women to “take care of themselves”
inside a structure that gives them almost no time, space, or help to actually do that.

And when the self-care doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm,
mothers often assume they’re doing something wrong.

They’re not (You’re not)

Sometimes what looks like a self-care problem
is actually a support problem.

And support was always meant to be shared.

If this resonates, follow along. I talk about the parts of motherhood we don’t say out loud.

Some days it feels like we’re just running on autopilot, ticking boxes, and giving everything to everyone else. And in the middle of all that… we forget ourselves.

I created The Reconnected Mum Kit because I know how easy it is to lose sight of what you need. And I also know you don’t have hours to spend on complicated routines or courses.

This is about small, doable steps to help you pause, reset, and reconnect with what matters most.

Inside, you’ll find psychologist-designed tools, practical prompts, and simple rituals that make space for you (without adding more to your plate).

Because we all need that moment to breathe. To come back to ourselves. To remember we matter too. 💜

The Reconnected Mum Kit is now live! And because I am SO very excited that’s it’s up and running right now we’re having a Spring Sale AND you’ll also get access to my Members Only LIVE session Pause Before the Rush on 16 November (So we can all get our s**t together before the chaos of December hit)
