Feeling guilty every time motherhood feels hard?

There isn't a single mum out there who hasn't felt that it's all a bit much. Or thought that things were easier before the kids came along.

But then comes the pang of guilt.

Because (of course) you love your children SO MUCH and hate to think anything bad about them or about being their mum.

So if we are all thinking and feeling this way, why are we beating ourselves up about it? Why do we let guilt eat away at us? As though its a normal part of motherhood that we just have to accept?!

You love them AND you are human.
AND you deserve self care.
AND you can say no instead of people pleasing. AND you can miss the old version of you.

It is possible for all this to be true all at once.

None of this takes away from your love.
None of this needs to lead to mum guilt.

It's my goal to help mothers realise that their wellbeing doesn't have to be the bottom priority. I want to help mums feel less guilt and so they can have the capacity for more present and patient motherhood. Stick with me if this is hitting a nerve. Hit save as a reminder the next time you let your inner critic say you're a bad mum.

Happy International Women’s Day to the woman you were before kids, and the woman you are becoming now.

As a motherhood wellbeing coach, I spend my days talking to women who feel like they’ve gone missing under the weight of the mental load. I do this because women are at the very heart of everything I value, and it matters to me deeply that we stop seeing self-sacrifice as a requirement.

I believe we deserve to be seen as whole people, not just as the ones holding everyone else together. This space is about making sure that your own name, your own needs, and your own joy don't get lost in the noise of everyone else's lives.

Save these 30 reminders for the days when you need to reclaim your identity after kids.

You haven't disappeared; you’ve transformed.

Just one of those days today... maybe this is just a me thing?

Because even as a motherhood coach who technically should know how to get it sometimes being a mum is just A LOT.

And if I am kind to myself, which I try to be, I realise that this is actually the ethos of my coaching rather than a deviation from it.

Self-care, working at whatever capacity you are at in the moment, resting, self-compassion, not judging myself against the outside "shoulds".

📢📢 Mum Talk Monday 7.0 📢📢

Self-care is an essential but so often it is just not prioritised. When you are busy with the mental load of motherhood, your own needs are usually one of the easiest things to put to the bottom of the pecking order.

But if mums don't look after their own needs, chances are we will end up more snappy and less present with our kids.

So this is why I coach mums to put themselves first more.

But today I want to hear from you about what you find tricky about self-care? Maybe once you start you don't want to stop so find the balance difficult? Or perhaps you feel mum guilt any time you prioritise yourself over others?

Let's chat and find out more about the struggles of motherhood!

Comment your answer and make sure to share with a fellow mum to keep the conversation flowing.

I wish I knew this before...

It's easy to get bogged down with thinking about the things I have lost in motherhood. The freedom to go where I wanted, when I wanted. Energy, sleep, less stress.

But when I flip it around and look at what motherhood has shown me I am in awe.

Who knew I was as tough as this? Who knew I could be someone's everything?

One day I hope to tell my children how grateful I am that they helped me see strengths I never thought possible.

Until that day I am going to remind myself of how far I have come. I am going to try make sure that every mum I come across as a coach, friend or even a stranger sees this in herself too.

SAVE this to remember your power in the moments you feel broken.

Please tell me I'm not alone in this!

Talking is the first step to reducing our mum guilt; the reassurance that we are all sharing similar struggles and no one is the perfect parent 24/7.

Even knowing all the tricks and advice, mum guilt is a fact of life for me as well. It's a work in progress but, like you and the mums I coach, I am a human being who isn't perfect too.

Becoming a mum coach has helped me show myself more self compassion. By practicing what I preach I am able to work through these moments and repair things with the kids too, which helps relieve that mum guilt.

So in the spirit of honesty and solidarity, for this Mum Talk Monday 6.0 I wanted to start by sharing this.

Now it's your turn to share things that bring up mum guilt for you. It can be a specific moment/story or something which always makes you feel guilty without fail.

Mum Guilt is a part of modern motherhood - but that doesn't mean it has to eat us up and take over. There is a way to deal with it and change perspectives, and we can use it to inform our choices as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you, remember:

Don't get me wrong...

This mug makes me feel like a badass some days. But other days I feel like I can't live up to the expectation.

I don't feel super. I don't feel powerful. I am just surviving.

So when people say "Mums are superheroes!" I can't help but flinch sometimes.

It sounds like a compliment, but it’s often used to justify why we’re expected to carry the world on our shoulders without complaining.

The reality?
💔 2/3 of mums feel mentally overloaded.
🔥 18% are facing total burnout.

This doesn’t just hurt us. It impacts our children’s future, too.

In my coaching group, we aren't interested in being "super." We’re interested in being sustainable.

We’re learning to lower the impossible expectations and talk to ourselves with the same kindness we give our kids. 💕

You don't have to do this alone. Welcome to a safe space where being human is enough. 🙌

📢📢 Mum Talk Monday 5.0 📢📢

Another lighthearted one this week to help ease us into half term week - often a bit of a stressful/busy week for us mums.

As a motherhood wellbeing coach I don't want to paint a picture that I know it all or get it right all the time. I am human just like you. I make mistakes and mess up, just like we all do.

Sometimes it feels embarrassing because you want to present this perfect image to the world. But it helps to try and laugh it off. The more caught up in the stress and seriousness of it the worse it feels.

So let's share our Mum 'fails' (and no that doesn't mean I think any mum is a failure!).

Lazy. Unproductive. Useless.

Your kids don't see you like this, so why do you?

Mums today have been convinced that they are only valuable if they are busy all the time. Functioning perfectly in all that we do.

Parenting? We need 100%
Working? We need 100%.
Home educating? We need 100%.
Housework? Yep 100%.
Cooking? You guessed it.
Life admin? Oh yeah, 100%.

Our capacity is finite. Yet we are expected to perform at full capacity in multiple roles.

We love our kids AND the mental load slowly suffocating us.

We feel shame if we ask for help.

We feel guilt when we aren't showing up with a smile on our faces.

We feel like failures if we rest.

This is more than one person can take.

You are desperate to escape the mum guilt. You want to find away to be the present and patient parent you dreamt of being. You want time for self care without judgment. You don't know how to ask for help and set boundaries.

I can show you a different version of motherhood. With a few small changes and some mindset shifts, I have helped mums realise they are a priority. Whether it's self-help journals or my online coaching programme, there's an option for you. Give me a shout if this sounds like the type of Valentine's Day gift you are desperate for.

Looking forward to hearing the chaotic tales from you all!
