This isn’t an anti-Christmas rant.

It’s a gentle nudge for the mother who’s already feeling the weight of the season.

📢 you don’t need to prove anything.

Let this be the year you choose presence over performance.

DM me the word DEINFLUENCE and I'll drop a copy of "Deinfluence your December": A workbook for overwhelmed mothers - straight into your inbox.

If December already feels heavy…
You’re not imagining it.

The pressure on mums this time of year is next-level.

That’s why I made Deinfluence Your December ~ a free workbook to help you unhook from the pressure and make space for you, too.

DM me the word DEINFLUENCE and I’ll send it straight to your inbox.

idk who needs to hear this
but you’re allowed to protect your peace this christmas ☮️

you don’t have to go to everything
you don’t have to host
you don’t have to perform joy if you’re actually just tired

you get to choose slow
you get to choose you

this is your permission slip
to make it feel good for your nervous system too
And remember. You're kids will forget the stuff. But they will remember the connection. Go gently and be kind to yourself ❤️‍🔥

You don’t have to fall for the status quo.

I see it all the time ~ mums blaming themselves for not coping better.
Like the issue is their time management.
Or their willpower.
Or the fact they forgot to defrost the mince for dinner again.

And truly? I’m done with it.

You weren’t meant to carry this much.
You weren’t meant to perform motherhood like it’s a to-do list.
You were meant to be held, supported and resourced.

So instead of micromanaging your way out of burnout…
You get to question the setup.
You get to ask for more.
You get to stop seeing your struggles as a sign of personal failure.

Because you’re not broken.
You’re living in a culture that expects mothers to be superhuman and silent about it.
What do you think?

In case you’re on a different side of the internet… this is what ‘loving your kids’ actually looks like.

Not always loving parenting them.
Not always enjoying the job.
Not always feeling patient, soft, regulated, or fun.

Just… doing your best.
While it feels harder than usual.
While the joy’s showing up in sprinkles, not buckets.
While you’re wondering if it’s meant to feel like this.

You do love your kids.
That part was never in question.

But lately?
You’ve been carrying it all with tired arms and a stretched-thin heart.

If this is your side of the internet, I’m with you.

And if you need some steadier ground to stand on ~ I’ve got you ✨️
The waitlist’s open for 2026.
Is it time to get some support that’s actually about you, too?

I know you might have heard this. Motherhood was never meant to be held by one or two adults alone.

But when you understand how far we've moved away from our biological needs ~ four adults for every one child under six ~ so much of our overwhelm suddenly makes sense.

We’re parenting in a structure our biology wasn’t built for. No wonder it feels heavy. No wonder we’re tired. No wonder we snap, or withdraw, or think we should be coping better than we are.

There is nothing wrong with you.
There is something missing from the system around you.

If you’re craving steadiness, clarity, and support as you move through matrescence in this modern world ~ I’d love to walk alongside you.

My 1:1 maternal and perinatal mental health support waitlist for 2026 is now open.
