There’s something humbling about spending years supporting parents… and then becoming one.

I was confident in developmental psychology, I understood emotional regulation and I could explain consistency, attachment, and behaviour patterns very well.

And then I became a mum.

Motherhood didn’t disprove my knowledge.
It deepened it. Softened it. Complicated it.

Sleep deprivation reshaped my patience.
Love reshaped my understanding of worry.
Experience reshaped my certainty.

I’m still a psychologist.
But now I’m one with less rigidity and more compassion.

If you’re a parent, what belief did motherhood (or fatherhood) completely rewrite for you?

I’d genuinely love to hear the ones that humbled you. Save this if you’re learning in real time too 🤍

The newborn stage stretches time in the strangest way. Days feel long. Weeks disappear.

These affirmations aren’t about toxic positivity. They’re about nervous system regulation. When parents feel calmer, babies often settle too.

Save this for the nights that feel endless.

If you’re in this season, you are doing more than enough.

Over the years, these are the books I come back to again and again in my therapy with children.

Some books help explain feelings.
Some help children externalise worries.
Some gently open conversations that would otherwise stay stuck.

After 9 years working with kids and families, I definitely have favourites. The ones that create safety. The ones that spark insight. The ones I reach for almost automatically.

Books can say things children don’t yet have the words for.

If you’re a parent, educator, or work with children - save this for later. It might become part of your toolkit too.

And I’d genuinely love to know - what’s a children’s book you swear by? I’d love to add it to my collection!

This is my real voice.

I’ve hesitated to use it.
I’ve re-recorded.
I’ve overthought it.

But this season has been about growing into myself - not shrinking.

I’m almost 3 months postpartum and still wearing my pregnancy clothes at home. And I’m letting that be okay. Healing doesn’t follow timelines. Neither does confidence.

Part 3 of what I refuse to feel guilty about as a psychologist on maternity leave feels different - because I’m speaking not just from theory, but from lived experience.

Motherhood has softened me. Strengthened me. Slowed me down in ways I needed.

If you’re in an in-between version of yourself too, you’re not behind. You’re becoming.

Save this for the days you feel the pressure 🤍
And tell me, which one felt most freeing to read?

12/02/2026

It’s almost impressive how quickly babies respond the moment you try to relax.

One minute I’m standing and all is good.
The second I sit down? Immediate protest!!

Motherhood is many things. Predictable is not one of them.

Tell me I’m not alone in this 🤍

My hope is that he grows up knowing his heart is always safe with me. That gentleness is strength, and that he never has to hide his feelings to be brave.
That kindness matters more than pride, connection more than control, and that asking for help is never a weakness.

I hope he feels deeply, loves freely, and knows he’s never alone carrying the weight of the world.

And on the days he forgets, I hope he remembers this:
he was raised with love, and he is always allowed to lead with it. 🤍

If your baby only sleeps on you, this is not a problem to fix.
It’s a season to embrace.

Releasing the pressure to “use the time well” changed everything for me. Right now, I’m exactly what he needs - and that’s enough.

Save this for the hard nap days and tell me what you do during contact naps - I could use the inspiration during his next nap 🤍☕️

POV: you become a mum and suddenly every conversation feels like the most important one you’ve ever had 🥹 The voices, the faces, the enthusiasm… all before my first proper sip of coffee 🤪

From a psychologist’s point of view, this is connection, rhythm, safety and joy.
From a mum’s point of view… I’m just completely obsessed 🩵

He might not understand my words yet, but he understands my love.

Please tell me I’m not alone in becoming this person when talking to my baby 😅

03/02/2026

Gentle reminder: motherhood is lived, not theorised.

Part 3 is the most honest one yet.

Mum guilt doesn’t disappear just because you understand child development. If anything, the pressure can feel louder when you “know the research.”

These are a few things I’ve consciously let go of - not because I don’t care, but because I care about the right things for me: safety, connection, regulation. Not perfection.

Save this as a reminder on hard days.

Which one resonated most with you?

January has been all about baby snuggles & smiles, Jackson fun and of course lots of coffee!
Just a psychologist on maternity leave making sure she soaks up everything before she descends back into work chaos.

29/01/2026

You don’t need an hour for self care. Sometimes five minutes is enough.
For me, it’s coffee, that first sip, and Jackson’s excitement for his treat - small moments that help me feel human again ☕️🐶
