Sometimes we ignore the gentle nudges, the small signs that change needs to happen and often don’t take action to make the change that’s so desperately needed until it feels like we are at absolute breaking point.
That’s what we do as mums, we push through and do everything for everyone else and often ignore the most important person, ourselves.
The last 12 months have been huge for me as a person, as a mum and as a small business owner.
This time last year I formally received my ADHD diagnosis, and while this was both confirmation and validation of what I had already known for a couple of years prior, it’s also been a wild ride of self discovery and acceptance.
As Mums we often believe that it’s normal to juggle so much, it’s what we do right?
Societal conditioning from a young age creates an unrealistic and unachievable benchmark of how we should act and mother.
Leaving us feeling inadequate and like we’re failing.
Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s messy and chaotic. The demands on Mums can lead to constant overwhelm and quite often so many mothers are isolated and doing it all alone.
Becoming a Mum is the biggest transformation and as you evolve and grow in this role, there are many changes over the years through every age and stage.
At times you feel lost, unsure of your identity and on autopilot in constant survival mode.
At every age and stage with both my children, there’s been challenges, struggles, new experiences, growth, learning, lots of love and joy & many moments where I’ve questioned my capacity, my abilities and have felt like I’m failing and drowning in all the extra BS we do as Mums.
I know I’m a good Mum, when you care so much it’s a sure sign you’re a bloody good Mum striving to do the best you can in that given moment with the best you have.
Anyway, as ever I’m waffling on…
My love of my work supporting Mums continues… my calling to nurture Mums is stronger than ever! I feel it to my core, I’m passionate about better care and support for Mums ❤️
I’ve made the tough decision that this work of mine won’t be in providing Mothers groups, but instead will look slightly different.
I’m excited to share more in coming weeks and months as I begin to unpack the many ideas in this chaotic brain of mine, make plans and put things into practice 🫶🏼
I hope to be more active and present on social media and look forward to taking my beautiful community along with me on this journey.
As ever, your support is always appreciated 🙏🏼
It always takes a village, to raise a Mother.
Big love,
