I know how heavy it can feel when you’re carrying everything for your teen and trying to keep yourself afloat too. It’s exhausting, and so often it feels like no one sees you.

Something that’s made the biggest difference for me — and for so many mums I speak to — is carving out even the smallest scraps of time to be in your own head.

Not for housework. Not for everyone else. Just you.
A quiet walk. Sitting with a coffee. Letting your thoughts settle in the shower.

It doesn’t fix everything, but it gives you a breath. And that breath changes how the rest of the day feels — for you and for your teen.

If you’re feeling worn out right now, please know you’re not alone. You deserve that headspace too.

💬 Tell me — where do you find your quiet five minutes?

Just a little Saturday thought 🤍

I don’t think I’ve ever really fully ‘ fit in ‘ but I am who I am …. And if that means I don’t ‘ fit in’ to peoples expectations….. I’m absolutely ok with that too!!!!!

It’s been a long road to actually feeling this way rather than just saying it…..but when you can find and be your authentic self…. It is a lovely space to be in 🤍

Young women often feel they have to ‘ fit in’ which is heartbreaking to see…. But the world we live in…. Means they feel they have little choice…..

Supporting teens who have an overwhelming feeling of not ‘ fitting in’ is bittersweet…. I adore supporting them…. But I feel so sad that so many continue to struggle with their self confidence and lack of worth …..

I want every child, teen, young person to know …..
❤️YOU ARE ENOUGH EXACTLY AS YOU ARE
❤️FITTING IN IS OVERRATED BUT I EMPATHISE WITH YOUR PAIN
❤️LET YOUR TRUE SELF HEAL AND YOUR MIND,BODY AND SOUL WILL ALIGN

I love chatting and hearing about peoples lived experiences… I love understanding the threads which weave our story together… no conversation is ever ever silly….❤️

If you or a young person you know is struggling…. Please ask for support …..❤️

Mums, have you ever noticed how your child seems to pick up on your emotions? 🧡

It’s not just in your head—science shows that our children’s nervous systems naturally sync with ours. When we feel calm, they feel safer. When we’re overwhelmed, they sense that too.

But this isn’t about blame—it’s about understanding the deep connection between you and your child, and learning small, powerful ways to bring more ease into your home.

Inside this post, I’m sharing:

🧡 Why your emotions impact your child’s anxiety
🤍Signs your nervous system might need support
🧡 Simple ways to regulate yourself (without adding more to your plate!)

You don’t have to be a “perfect” mum….

Which of these reminders resonates with you today? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇🧡

Healing truly is the first step….

Never mind the new year ( though I wish you a Year of love), healing can start at any point, on any day, at anytime….

My experience has taught me that there is no perfect time to heal and grow but it’s also taught me that without allowing the journey of self discovery, love and healing … we will hold the trauma we’ve lived through forever and this HAS to manifest in some way….

With healing we do not forget the trauma…. We simply learn to grow through the pain and understand that we can move forward and be exactly where we want to be…respecting our journey m, with love and understanding

I’m not a ‘ New Years resolution’ girl…. But I do set goals for all areas of my life and this year my goal is to create something TRULLY wonderful for the mums and families struggling to understand and help heal themselves and their teenagers …. Because honestly teen anxiety is something I’m not prepared to ignore….

No healing journey is ever complete….. and part of my healing journey is holding space for the teen girls whose journey resonates so deeply with my own….

I have worked so closely with so many young people , ( both male and female), this year… I have heard some life changing stories, which have at times broken my heart…. But have inspired me to create new ways of working with some of the most amazing young people I’ve ever met…. I feel honoured to hold space for them, I truly do 🤍

✨ I am so grateful that my healing journey has bought me here…..

✨I am so grateful to have pushed through my own traumas and lived experiences which have allowed me to create very specific ways of working alongside young people

I start this year with so much love and gratitude in my heart and with the very clear view that healing is certainly the first step on the path ti new beginnings ….🤍

Happy 2025…..I look forward to where we go from here 🤍

The body keeps the score….. ultimately emotions have to be released…. If you don’t feel able, they will take matters into their own hands and show up as physical symptoms …🤍
