👖Can’t find your favourite clothes when you want them?

Ever run out of clean socks or underwear?

Scared to open your drawers? (or struggle to close them? 🫣)

That’s WHY I fold.

Here are 6 reasons:

1️⃣ “Maximise storage”

- storing folded items vertically, instead of being stacked or cluttered in a heap

2️⃣ “Helps keep like-items together”

3️⃣ “Easier to see what you want”

- where you can simply pluck out what you need without disturbing the rest

4️⃣ “Know when your running low”

- helpful laundry reminder 😉

5️⃣ “Reduces wrinkling clothes”

- less random creases and helps preserve your clothes better while not in use

6️⃣ “Calming practice to clear the mind” 🧘🏻

- the repetition of folding can bring you into a state of flow and feels great when you’re done

➡️ Which would be your reason for folding?

We’ve ALL heard it before or if you’re “lucky” heard 2 mins ago 😅

“Mum, where’s my shirt, book, bag?” 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s why I jumped on this early with my eldest.

I was super hands on to help her create good habits and establish easy routines, when she was younger.

And we turned boring daily tasks into games she could enjoy (like matching socks, finding patterns or shooting toys into baskets).

Investing time in building their skills helps them learn how to observe what needs doing, not just waiting to be told.

Because taking care of the home and our things is not a mum job, but an everyone task.

🏠 Whether you have a 4 or 10 year old, it all starts with going through their belongings and finding a home for them.

You decide how much you want to involve them.

1️⃣ Choose what sparks joy ✨ what is still important, or has a purpose in your lives today- one by one.

2️⃣ Find a designated spot for them, keeping like with like, and accessible to those who use it.

If you’re strapped for time but want to make a change now, start SMALL.

Tidy just ONE category like clothes, stationary or toys (whichever is easier to make progress with).

It can be challenging starting something new with your kids.

Once they have an easy system they can follow, it helps fosters their independence and saves you loads of work later on.

More time and energy back to you 🙌🏼

Why mums hate laundry 🫠

The piles never end.

There’s always too much to sort.

And somehow everyone relies on YOU to know where everything is.

Most nights, you’re folding clothes while everyone else sleeps… when you should be sleeping too.

That’s why I changed how I approach laundry.

Now, instead of focusing on the whole mountain, I focus on the next small step:

✔️ Empty the basket

✔️ Sort clothes by family member

✔️ Group like items together

✔️ Hang or fold

✔️ Put away

And the biggest shift?

I stopped treating laundry like a “mum job.”

My family now helps sort, fold, hang clothes, and put things away during the day. Even my eldest Nina offers to help 🥹

What used to feel overwhelming has become time together — chatting about our day while we work as a team.

If folding and putting clothes away feels impossible right now, don’t worry. I’ve got upcoming videos to help make it simpler 🤍

What’s one of the steps your family could help with?

I haven’t shown up on here in a while… because life got full.

Like really full.
________________

Hi, I’m Jen 👋🏼

Mum of two, and creator of .

Between a newborn, a growing family, and the day-to-day juggle of running a home, I found myself in the same place so many mums are in…

Trying to stay on top of everything.

Feeling like the “family directory.”

Knowing where everything is (or at least being expected to).

And constantly resetting the house just to keep things moving.

And here’s the thing I’ve realised…

It’s not just about having a tidy home.

It’s about walking into a space and feeling calm.

It’s about knowing where things are without the stress.

It’s about not buying something you already own (again).

It’s about your family actually knowing how to function without everything falling back on you.

That’s why I’m here.

I help mums create simple, realistic systems so their homes feel:

• lighter
• calmer
• easier to manage

without perfection, and without it all sitting on their shoulders.

Because when your home works,

you get your time, energy and headspace back.

And that changes everything 🤍

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed in your home lately… you’re not alone.

I’m excited to be back and sharing more of what’s been working, what hasn’t, and how we can make life at home feel just that little bit easier.

Allow me to introduce myself… 👋🏼 My name’s Jen. I find life as a mum both busy and beautiful, where I’ve learned to EMBRACE the challenges and CHERISH the good as it comes 🪴

For the past eight years I’ve worked as a leader, trainer and coach for household names in Australia, whilst raising my gorgeous 5 y.o. daughter Nina alongside my incredible husband Jacky ❤️

Currently working as a Training and Development Specialist, I am in my DREAM role, I love what I do!

I’ve always found ways to go beyond just building a person’s capability within their role… I wanted to share experiences and skills that would POSITIVELY IMPACT their life 🙌🏼

More specifically, I wanted to help mums LIKE ME, who know the struggle of raising a family, juggling relationships and commitments, maintaining a functional household, and working full-time whilst desperately trying to hold onto a social life, keeping your health afloat and sanity intact PLUS supporting everyone else with theirs.

I know we CAN do it all- with the right support 💪🏼

I created When Mums Thrive because I believe as mums THRIVE, so do her people. Mums can get easily caught up in everyone else’s needs before they even take a second to consider theirs. We deserve to rest and replenish before stepping out into the world to give again.

My philosophy? Take care of the one who takes care of all and everyone benefits. SUPPORTING mums to be at their best IS the rising tide that lifts all boats.

I help busy mums breakthrough limiting beliefs to rewrite their story and create the life they desire ✨

If you’re looking to free yourself from overwhelm, conquer mum guilt and live your life to the fullest, I invite you to 👍🏼 this page, and stay tuned for details on my next masterclass! (coming soon)

When something isn’t right, we need to call it out- not just so they are aware but also for our own mental health.

Our inaction can tell others, “it’s okay to speak to me that way” or “it’s okay to behave that way” when it isn’t! 😔

Sometimes, people first need the opportunity to be told about how what they’re saying or doing negatively impacts you or those around you.

What has helped me is the PEER model:

[P]ermission - ask to provide the feedback so they can be present and ready to receive it
[E]xplain - what did you observe (need to be specific, focus on facts and the behaviour)
[E]ffect - what impact did that behaviour have on you or those around you
[R]esult - describe the behaviour you would like to see moving forward (ie what to start, stop, or change)

The conversation may not always go perfectly, but it doesn’t have to.

What is more crucial is the practice of speaking up.

Standing up for yourself and others is what’s important 🙏🏼

These skills are just one aspect of how I help as an Empowerment Coach.

For enquiries about 1:1 support, you can connect with me through DMs or email hellotoabetteryou@gmail.com

What conversation have you put off that you need to have? 🤔

It should be a great time to relax, spend quality time with friends and family, and reset for the new year.

But what usually happens is you become more stressed, desperate for some alone time and feel anxious about the physical and emotional chaos you’d rather leave behind in 2023!

If you’ve ever said or thought to yourself that next year will be better, but then next year came around and you still had the same problems and challenges as the last, let’s break that cycle! 👊🏼

On Tuesday December 5th 6PM (AEST), I’m hosting a live and free 60-minute Power Workshop to help busy mums like you, “Protect Your Peace These Holidays”. 🎄🎁💕

I’ll be sharing 5️⃣ key strategies which include:

[ 1 ] Creating a Holiday Vision
[ 2 ] Owning Your Calendar
[ 3 ] Communication Tips for Clarity
[ 4] Stress-free Gift Giving
[ 5 ] Simplified Self-Care

📥 To sign up, send a DM with your email and I’ll share a link to the private Zoom room plus a workbook for you to use and record notes from the workshop.

Do you know other mums who could get value out of this workshop too? 🙋🏻‍♀️ If YES, I invite you to like and share this post to spread the message- always more fun to do things with friends!

And if you’re new to my page, please like and follow on Instagram and Facebook

Excited to meet you!

Our kids will be our greatest teachers 💕 and Nina teaches me everyday.

At daycare, Nina was so happy to see this boy even though I had heard he puller her hair and other not nice things 😢

Even though this kid had treated Nina poorly in the past, she still greeted him with genuine warmth and kindness 🥰

How often in life do we feel like we’ve been mistreated and it impacts how we behave towards that person (whether we’re conscious of it or not) 🤔

⭐️ we are in control of our thoughts
🌟 how that then makes us feel
✨ how we behave

Let’s choose more often to rise above and be better 🙌🏼

Let’s set the example, and role model for our kids ❤️❤️❤️

I ALMOST called time of death on today’s self care at 3.30pm

Our family had a busy Saturday and I FINALLY got a moment to myself to crack out my tea things and settle down with a new book.

We romanticise how things are supposed to go which can mess US up when things don’t go according to plan.

LIKE being interrupted with a question from your significant other that takes you away from your self care- in my case having tea and reading in peace (without Nina hanging off me).

When you think about it, especially as a mum, when do things EVER happen the way we want it to? Sometimes, to hardly, if ever?

So why not take what time you CAN get?

How AMAZING is it to squeeze in some me-time on a busy day and push on instead of giving up.

Although Jacky (my husband) was the initial distractor, I’m grateful for when he stepped in with Nina so I could reconnect with my activity and focus on me.

Even if it’s not exactly what you envisioned, keep going 🤗

You’re worth it.
You deserve it.
You’ve got this 💪🏼
