Did you know that 41% of parents report that most days they feel so stressed they cannot function, and 48% report that their stress is completing overwhelming?

That's almost TWICE as high as other adults — 20% and 26% respectively 🙃

(These are the results from the recent release of the 2024 Surgeon General’s Advisory, Parents Under Pressure)

While parents and caregivers may have the primary responsibility for raising children, they shouldn’t have to do it entirely on their own. Raising healthy, educated, and fulfilled children is at the heart of building a strong future and should be a COLLECTIVE responsibility.

Simply put, wellbeing of parents is a critical public health priority — caregivers need care too. 💌

Currently prioritising making the most of my margins 🕊️

I used to spend my ~ very little ~ (mums, you know what I mean) spare time scrolling and binge-watching. I loved them and I wasn't prepared to let them go.

But, unsurprisingly — they didn't love me back.

Whilst I'm still working on it (and will likely need to circle back to this when my fave trashy reality tv shows are back on), I'm implementing practices that are kinder to ME.

My little journal prompt for you this morning is: do the things you love spending your time on love you back?

Love ya,
Britt ❣️

TRUST IS THE REMEDY.

The world would be uninteresting without uncertainty.

There would be no fear, yes - but also no surprise.

There would be no pain, yes - but there would be no joy or wonder either.

Uncertainty (for a lot of people) leads to fear and anxiety that something will go wrong.

Trust as a remedy for anxiety does not necessarily mean trusting that no bad things will happen. It means to trust two things:

1. Trusting the MORE LIKELY outcome.
2. Trusting YOUR ABILITY TO COPE, should the worst case scenario occur.

Try these reframes the next time you notice your anxiety symptoms - racing heart, sweaty palms, dry mouth - and watch with curiosity what happens 🕊️

When you intentionally practice making mistakes, you learn this: most people don't notice your mistakes - but if they do, you can handle it ☻

Here's a list of ideas for intentional mistakes (aka just embarrassing things) you can make this week!!!

1. Trip in front of someone.
2. Send an email with a typo.
3. Drop something (e.g. a fork or your glasses) in front of others.
4. Order something that isn't on the menu.
5. Greet someone by the wrong name.
6. Ask for directions to a store or department in which you are already located.
7. Have your hand tremble when paying for something.
8. Take more than the allowed number of items allowed to try on in a clothing store.
9. Have some part of your clothing appear inappropriately e.g. a label showing, shirt-tail out or mismatched socks.
10. Ask for an item not carried by the store you are in.
11. Ask an obvious customer for information as if he or she works at the store.
12. Hum or sing so loud that others can hear you.
13. Order an item and change your mind at least twice.
14. Buy something that you would ordinarily be embarrassed to purchase.
15. Bump into something.
16. Say the wrong word in a conversation.
17. Step in the wrong direction in an exercise class.

These are things that you can easily incorporate into your everyday life to keep you from difting back into the belief that making a mistake (or doing something embarrassing) automatically leads to disapproval ☻

Love ya!
Britt

“Loving ourselves and each other deepens our disruption of the dominant systems.

They want us unwell, fearful, exhausted, and without deep self-love, because you are easier to manipulate when you are distracted by what is not real or true.”

― Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto 💌

Gentle reminder that your body is not a problem to be solved 🕊️

Ever chased these imaginary awards? (You probs have - we all have 💁🏽‍♀️)

The truth is, we run TO these awards because we are running FROM rejection, failure, abandonment, defectiveness, vulnerability, and shame.

I spent so long trying to make sure I got everything right, to say yes to every opportunity, to work the longest, to show up perfectly.

And it was exhausting, stressful, and unsustainable.

The best thing I ever did was work out what I was running from... And found healthier, slower, kinder ways to meet those needs myself.

Love y'all,
Britt ❣️

The best place to process trauma, shameful thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, ugly memories is in the therapy room - the things you thought you could never reveal to anyone.

Bring it all to therapy - where you can be held and your younger self is seen and heard. 🕊️

Emotional boundaries ❣️

We need to wilfully reject the idea that kindness and compassion are synonymous with self-sacrifice — they aren't!

That part of you that feels the need to carry the emotions of others is not wrong or bad, but probably isn't allowing you to take up space (which you deserve, FYI.)

Progress in this area will usually be slow (yay 💃) but it is SO worth it.

Learning how to prioritise your own needs is what will keep you from getting drained in a world that is extremely draining, so that you can continue to be there for those that you love.

JOIN ME today by choosing just one moment to CARE rather than CARRY. ♡

It’s been two years since we started so I think it’s about time I introduced myself on here 👀👉🏼

Hi! I’m Britt. Founder & Principal Psych at Tender Studio 👋🏼

I’m a compassion-led psychologist focused on helping people quiet their inner critic, soften the self blame-y bits, and accept all of their parts.

I’m a new mum and had a ROUGH transition to motherhood (probably thanks to my history of perfectionism - whoops). As such, I’m particularly passionate about the perinatal period and embracing “good enough”.

Other ✨ fun ✨ stuff:

〰 I’m an ENFJ + Type 7 on the Enneagram (aka constant pursuer of fun)
〰 I used to work in graphic design and adored it
〰 I hate public speaking with the fire of a thousand suns (soz to all the clients I’ve tried to convince to give it a go)
〰 I take brunch very seriously
〰 I’m obsessed with my dog (when he’s not waking my son up from his naps lol)
〰 I’m still an emo kid at heart 🖤
〰 I engage in Sabbath with my husband once a week for 24 hours

Let’s get to know each other! Tell me one random fact about you - do we have anything in common? 🫶🏽
