Mostly the mundane, like; a chicken sandwich, watching the sunset while overwhelmed, but yielding into softness as she sleeps on my chest, three kiddies on the couch, daily smooches with my girl that I hope my iCloud still contains so I can watch it back when I’m 90 years old.

The mundane is the magical. It can be relentless too. August is a full month; two birthdays for our boys. I hope they remember these special little birthdays at home, amongst the red bricks, new scooters & bikes, too many toys. Dad’s awesome baking.

We also celebrate our wedding anniversary this month (today) which, during this season, often goes: ‘I didn’t get you anything, I hope you didn’t get me anything? Okay good, I love you’. He made me two strong coffees after a night of close to no sleep, we shared a big kiss in the kitchen while our 4 year old death stared us and said ‘what are you DOING!?’ We laughed. And that was all we needed.

August is also the month we are usually post viral, hanging on by a thread, ready to leave winter. We work to deadlines. I stress to get everything ready for my Italian yoga retreats. Which funnily enough always end up magical & I think ‘why did I stress over this?’ (Then I remind myself that it all comes together because it’s actually really hard work and thus the stress haha! But so worth it)

I love this app so much, I’ve met such wonderful people on here. But when I’m full to the brim, I find myself sharing less work & just doing what’s easy; showing the everyday. I want to talk about yoga. And training. And my love of movement. And how hundreds of us come together everyday for class. But then I just forget because someone’s demanding Vegemite toast.

I work most days. I’m trying to set better work/life boundaries. It’s hard when you love what you do in combination of having a new baby so you’re time poor. I may not share much of my work on here right now, but many of you are on the platform with me, and we share so much love together on there that I often feel like I don’t always have to on here.

But I promise I’m still a yoga teacher guys! I’m about to host 29 beautiful humans in Tuscany for 2 weeks of yoga 🥹 Wish me luck.

I’m clinging onto my newborn love bubble for dear life even though this marks the end of our 4th trimester. My baby girl, after the best pregnancy, arrived over 12 weeks ago & I never realised how much I would already love having a daughter. Although this is the most present & scrumptious postpartum I’ve had, it’s also been willlllllldddddd with the most intense witching hours, which we never had with the boys. This little angel, from around 4 weeks to 10ish weeks postpartum would scream uncontrollably for hours on end in the early evenings. I hold any parent who’s had to experience this in my heart, I cannot believe how challenging it is and how heartbreaking it is to watch your baby look so distressed. I’ve had a ‘3rd time round’ confidence that knew deep down this was just a phase, I truly felt nothing was ‘wrong’ (no reflux, no allergies etc) she was just learning how to integrate into the world & had no other means to communicate. Either that or she loves drama, lol. I won’t lie, I definitely broke down at times. But with the help of my husband and a not-so-silent promise I made to my daughter that I would be the mum she needed, through both the good & difficult, we did it. We made it through. Sure, every baby has their unsettled moments, but mostly, we’re back to family dinners around the table, bath routines & bedtime cuddles with no more screaming and every night when I kiss her before bed, I’m unbelievably grateful that she’s okay. And that she’s here with us 🩷

10 things I wish I knew before my first c-section

Is there anything I missed?! What weren’t you expecting during your cesarean birth? Or what did you wish you knew prior?

09/06/2025

My daughter is 10 weeks old today. She’s the cutest little button ever but the sweet girl can scream. Oh boy can she scream. Some nights between 4-8pm our house is total anarchy. And I can say with so much confidence, having physical strength, without a shred of doubt, really really helps. Josh and I are often hand-balling our little muffin back n forth rocking, bopping, feeding, walking up & down our steep driveway or wearing her in the carrier while vacuuming to try and settle her. But more than physical strength, I need a particular strength and calm within myself, within my nervous system. I can’t access that strength & calm every night, but I sure do try. And as time goes on, you learn to adopt different tools to help. But like a diamond, I am becoming stronger under pressure. Staying calm in a stressful situation is a seriously beneficial life skill. It helps me as the sun begins to go down and my daughter’s only way to communicate is through crying. In my early twenties I was so physically strong. But mentally and emotionally, I easily crumbled. With my first son, I’d never really, truly, dealt with much ‘stress’ before. And my only awareness of ‘stress’ was to try and avoid it. When in reality, stress is a normal part of living. We can thrive AND have stress in our lives. Rather than trying to be immune to stress or act like it doesn’t exist, we need to learn: How is my relationship with stress? But like I said, I don’t nail it every night. Sometimes I will crumble and end up crying on my husbands shoulder. But mostly, I am doing my best to stay present, calm and a place of safety for my daughter. And in those challenging moments, where she finally softens and falls asleep in her mother’s warm embrace, I take a moment. Staying calm in the storm doesn’t just benefit me and my nervous system. It’s shaping Elsie’s entire internal environment. Her ability to co-regulate, to feel safe, to feel loved. Knowing that her entire safety net is here. No matter what. The past ten weeks have been so blissful and so incredibly challenging. And man, stress (like injuries) have such beautiful lessons for us if we’re willing to listen.

Banded core workout for you 🤌🏻👉🏻

I’m 9 weeks post my 3rd c-section and thanks to Phase 1 & Phase 2 of my Postnatal Program I’m feeling so much more connected & integrated through my entire core & the abdominals.

Those first few weeks post baby really truly feel as if you’ll never be able to use your abs again 😳😮‍💨 … so this was a welcome sensation albeit hard work.

I taught this class today ‘Abs Of A Woman’ & thought you might like to save it for yourselves. All you’ll need is a theraband 👏🏻

(Also yes I stuffed up the numbers in the slides completely missing #7 thanks to mum brain)

I love these moves because we worked pelvic & rib cage positioning, we loaded up hip flexion, hip extension & hip abduction via the band, trained the abdominals, TVA, illopsoas, obliques, glutes & serratus too. And I find the band, alongside breath & coordination, really helps me access the relationship between my diaphragm, pelvic floor + rib cage + pelvis.

How has it already been six weeks together?

We had our six week check up with & everything is healing well 🤍

I’m torn between wanting her to stay this little forever yet equally so excited to watch her grow & change. She smiled for the first time this week & we all cooed & fussed over her like it was the first time we’d seen a smile.

She’s the best 🥹
