I help mums escape mum guilt, accept their new identity and prioritise their own wellbeing. ✨️🩷

28/04/2026

Mums: this is your sign to do the thing for yourself that you keep putting off. We think we will feel guilty for doing it, so we just push through and neglect ourselves.

But if we make ourselves feel better we show up better for our kids. Why would we feel guilty for being better parents?

This post is nothing to do with fitness (although if that's what will make you feel good then that's cool too). This is a call for you to prioritise yourself again, because it might feel guilty at first but you will soon reap the benefits.

My goal as a motherhood wellbeing coach is to tackle mum guilt, and its little mindset shifts like this that we work on. My community is already building momentum and mums just like you are feeling the difference - send me a DM if you want to learn about how you can get these changes too.

Who were you before being a mum?

Connecting with our past selves can feel impossible. Whether it's tiredness, busy-ness or even just doubt that she even exists anymore.

We don't need to turn back the clock. Instead we can find little pockets of time to really express our full self. Not the self-sacrificing version since we became a mum.

As a motherhood wellbeing coach, I support mums who are feeling exhausted to feel more like themselves again, without the constant weight of mum guilt.

Reach out, I want to help you feel more empowered, mamas.

Lost in motherhood? Loads of us feel like this to be honest. And while life is definitely very different and there are irreversible changes, by changing your viewpoint things can feel more optimistic.

This tricky moment for me helped me experience what I have been telling my clients. Motherhood has expanded my identity; I have not disappeared, but grown.

I would love to hear your 'boss mum' stories - this engineering feat of mine must be a common one? But I bet there are others?

APRIL FOOLS IS CANCELLED

With the joke that is motherhood in 2026, we just dont have the headspace for more to add to our mental load.

In this case the joke's on us, mum, and it has been for a while. But we aren't laughing.

Hate me for saying it... but if this was a male issue it wouldn't even exist.

Mums need rest. Mums need support. Mums need systems that facilitate genuine choice and stability. (Am I asking for too much here?!)

The sad part is next year the joke probably wont have changed. If you want to join me in trying to change it at least on a personal level - taking back control, changing your narrative - then follow me and see how a few small mindset shifts can start to turn the joke on its head.

📢📢 Mum Talk Monday 11 📢📢

Today a bit of a reflective one for you, thinking about what motherhood has taught you, and what you thought about being a mum back before the kids arrived.

So tell me this: what piece of wisdom or advice would you tell you pre-motherhood self given what you know now?

For me its all about reassuring her that she is more resilient than she believes. What would yours be? 👇👇👇

Do we gain an hour or lose an hour of sleep? 😴 🤔 anyone else always forget which way round it works?

So I admit that I am actually the overthinker who has been strategising for weeks over how to deal with my kids' sleep patterns this weekend. Not that it will make any difference - my son has a built in 5am alarm system. We might get away with a couple of days where the hour helps us wake at 6, but if history is anything to go by we will be back at 5am in no time...

Let me know which one you are 👇👇👇

Just a lighthearted post here as this is totally a first world problem, but honestly the mum math required this weekend is just a lot!

Solidarity mums! Let's just all talk about the clocks for the next couple of weeks just to make ourselves feel better about it all.

The only bonus (and tbf its a really big bonus) is the beautiful promise of lighter evenings...does that make me sound old? 🤷‍♀️ I dont care 🙌🌞

As if mums aren't feeling guilty enough - the government have officially rubber stamped the screen time shame.

At least thats the way the media is selling it. But the guidance is much more nuanced and confirms that not all screen time is created equal and there are 'better' choices we can make.

Some of what we can look at as mums is our reasons for choosing screen time for our kids. Your mental wellbeing is a valid reason; its ok to take a break. Getting stuff done might also be your reason and thats ok too, but if you’re being productive to live up to the superhuman standard set by the outside world, you might all benefit from a mindset shift. If you'd rather spend time with your kids and have a slightly untidy house, that's your prerogative as a mum. Follow your own path and your own values!

If you do feel you want to reduce screen time, here are my suggestions:
- start slow, going cold turkey is unsustainable
- make small changes and do it gradually, you’re more likely to stick to it then
- watch with your kids and use this as a welcome break as well as an opportunity for connection and their learning

You're doing fine, guidance is just guidance. You are in charge of your own motherhood.

Motherhood isn't picture-perfect and neither is my coaching.

If you haven't guessed it from my posts so far - I am not an aesthetically driven person and I don't believe that perfection is the goal.

So what would be the point pretending to have it all together when coaching my clients?

Ok so I like to be reliable and professional, making sure my coaching is evidence-informed and meaningful.

But the biggest goal for me is about helping mums feel less guilty. Pretending I have all my ducks in a row wouldn't do my clients any good, and my own guilt would double.

My aim is for mums to feel self-acceptance and compassion by worrying less about the "shoulds" and the "should nots" that plague us in motherhood. That lets us give ourselves grace to be all the different shades of our authentic mum self.

Hang out with us here if this feels like the welcoming, non-judgmental space you need 💕

📢📢 Mum Talk Monday 10 📢📢

What makes solo parenting next level hard compared with when you have someone else helping?

You all agreed with me when I spoke about the feeling of dread I sometimes get when I have a spell of parenting by myself coming up. But what is it about being a mum on your own vs having someone there to help?

Single parents this is for you too - you're the ones truly in the thick of it with this. You have my utmost respect.

So please, all of you whether its all the time or just for a bit, let us know in the comments what makes motherhood so much harder when you're flying solo?

As a motherhood wellbeing coach its really important for me that mums get to share their honest accounts about why being a mum is the hardest job ever. If we talk about it, we can realise we are not alone.

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.

03/03/2026

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".
