You’re not failing — you’re overloaded.

Follow for gentle nervous system support ✨

Motherhood✨

I was talking to a coaching friend this morning and we both said the same thing —
it doesn’t matter how old your children are or how many you have…
you are always needed.

Motherhood has no off switch.
It holds anxiety, postnatal depression, loneliness, joy, pressure, happiness, expectations to “bounce back,” the need to be perfect and put together — often all at once. And navigating it can feel overwhelming.

There are days I sit and think, where did my day even go?
Days where I haven’t had 10 minutes to myself.
Days where guilt creeps in — spending more time with one child than another, snapping because the baby didn’t sleep, or realising I haven’t even hugged my partner.
And nights where tomorrow’s to-do list loops endlessly in my mind.

If this sounds familiar, I want you to hear this clearly:
✨ Nothing is wrong with you.
✨ Your nervous system is overloaded, not broken.

So here are 3 gentle ways to switch off — even briefly:

• Slow your breath — inhale 4, exhale 6 (60 seconds is enough)

• Lower the standard — “good enough” is more than enough

• Create one daily pause — silence, fresh air, or a quiet cup of tea

Motherhood doesn’t give us an off switch —
but we can create moments of rest within it.

This is your reminder today 💗
Be gentle with yourself.

Motherhood doesn’t require burnout.
It requires regulation, awareness, and compassion — starting with you.

Before you rush into new goals, pause.
Reflect. Release. Reset.

You don’t need a new year —
you need space for a new version of you.

✨ What are you letting go of?

🌸 Learning to Slow Down as a Mum with ADHD

Slowing down doesn’t come naturally to me.
My brain is always racing — ideas, tasks, emotions, reminders, all fighting for attention.

For a long time, I believed that being productive meant being worthy. That the busier I was, the better I was doing.

But motherhood — and ADHD — have taught me something different:
Busy isn’t always better.
Sometimes slowing down is where the real magic happens. ✨

Here’s what I’ve been learning:

💛 1. Rest is not laziness.
🌿 2. Not everything needs to be done today.
🧘‍♀️ 3. Mindful moments matter.
👩‍👧 4. My kids don’t need a perfect mum — they need a present one.

I’m still learning to pause, breathe, and be.
But every time I choose peace over perfection, I feel more grounded — more me.
So if you’re a busy mum, especially one with ADHD, consider this your reminder:
You don’t have to do it all.
You just have to be here, right now. 🌿

✨Rebuilding Self-Trust & Confidence After Burnout

After years of pushing through, juggling motherhood, ADHD, hormones, and just life, I realised I didn’t really trust myself anymore.

I doubted every decision.
I second-guessed my intuition.
And I constantly looked for validation outside of myself — from others, from routines, from doing more.

But the truth is, rebuilding self-trust has been one of the most powerful parts of my healing journey. 💛

Here’s what’s been helping me:

🌿 1. Keeping small promises to myself.

🪞 2. Letting go of “perfect”.

✨ 3. Remembering what I’ve already overcome.

💬 4. Talking to myself with kindness.

Every time I honour my needs, follow my intuition, or give myself grace — my self-trust grows a little stronger.
If you’re rebuilding after burnout or self-doubt, remember:

You don’t need to become a new version of yourself. You just need to come home to the one that’s been waiting underneath it all. 🌙

🌸 A gentle reminder for the week ahead

This week doesn’t need you to be perfect.
It just needs you to show up with the energy you have today.

On the busy mornings, you are doing your best.
In the tired afternoons, it’s okay to slow down.
And on the days you feel stretched thin, remember — you are human, not failing.

Keep this in mind:

You are not behind — you are learning as you go.

Rest is necessary, not something you have to earn.

Asking for help is strength, not weakness.

You are enough, exactly as you are.

Take this week one moment at a time.
Breathe. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think 🤍
