I’ve loved creating The Mindful Guide, but I’m pausing it for now. I’ve evolved and grown, and stepping out to find what’s next for me. Thank you for being here—maybe we’ll meet again in a new way ✨Gwen xo

The mental load is invisible — but it’s heavy

When you’re juggling school runs, emotional needs, endless to-dos and still trying to show up as yourself…
…no wonder you feel wired, worn out, or ready to snap

It’s not about being dramatic — it’s biology

👉 Chronic stress shrinks the part of your brain that helps you focus and stay calm — and overstimulates the part that fuels anxiety

But here’s the good news:
You can retrain your stress response
You can bring yourself back — one simple practice at a time

🧘‍♀️ In this post, I’m sharing 3 quick, proven ways to feel more grounded — even in the chaos

📌 Save this for when your nervous system needs a reset

💬 Which one will you try today? Tell me below

This moment is all you have ✨

Not tonight, not when the house is clean, not when you can find some ‘quiet’ time

Take this very moment, to pause

Close your eyes and breathe

Be with whatever is here, because it’s ok

You don’t need anything else ~ your body is here , your breath is here. The body knows what to do to come into these lifesaving moments of stillness

That’s it, that’s all you need to do ~ stop, close your eyes and show yourself the greatest act of love today ❤️

That’s mindfulness, that’s love xx

Ever find yourself lying in bed, completely wiped out…

but your mind is still running?

That quiet moment you’ve waited all day for…

but your brain just won’t sit down

Sometimes, the mind doesn’t need fixing
It just needs a little rest

These 5 tiny shifts have been helping me lately — little ways to pause, breathe, and come home to myself again (even when life feels full and noisy)

✨ Save this post for the next time your mind needs a breather

👣 And if you want something deeper, softer, more grounding… I’ve recorded a free walking meditation for you

It’s gentle, mindful, and made especially for mums like us who carry so much

🧡 You can download it via the link in my bio

You deserve a few minutes that are just for you

Can’t sit still to meditate? 🌿

If sitting in silence feels impossible right now—if your body aches, your mind races, or you’re just too exhausted to even try—here’s a thought…

There is another way

Many midlife mums tell me they want to meditate… but sitting still just doesn’t work for them. Well I have something very lovely that will help. I created a free guided mindful walking meditation—a gentle way to feel calmer, more present, and more like you again

You don’t need a cushion
You don’t need silence
You don’t need to get it perfect

You just need a few minutes and your own two feet💛

✨ Download your free walking meditation via the link in my bio and let me walk with you. One breath, one step at a time

You deserve moments of peace—even in the midst of a full life

There comes a moment for most of us Moms — and unsurprisingly it pops up in midlife — when you stop and realise…

You don’t quite recognise yourself anymore

You’re still showing up
Still doing your best
But something inside feels… empty, disconnected

If that’s where you are, I want you to know:
You’re not broken (and you’re not alone)

You’re just overdue a reconnection

💫 That’s exactly why I created Coming Home to You: The Reconnection Bundle — a gentle collection of tools and guided practices to help you:

✨ Feel more like your old self again
✨ Slow down, soften, and reset
✨ Reconnect with your inner calm, clarity, and confidence

This isn’t a transformation. It’s a returning

This one’s for you, lovely, you are in there, just waiting to say hello again 💛

Oh London I missed you ✨

I’ve left it way too long to visit! Luckily, not a lot has changed ❣️

Marylebone you will always have my heart. A lot of great times happened here 💕😘

This is my
🌱 A day to interrupt the routine
🌱 To slow down, connect and be present
🌱 To enjoy the happy memories
🌱 To reconnect with friends

And mostly, to feel like myself again ✨

I am so grateful to have this time (it took planning, organising and a little bit of sacrifice- but so worth it)

Doing things that are good for the mind, body and soul give you a sense of wellness back in basket loads!

Carve out ‘your’ time today - even if it’s just a few minutes to feel your feet on the floor and breathe 🍃

This is 50✨

I never thought this would be me. A beautiful morning being spoiled by my boys ❤️ and then on our way for a family adventure to celebrate with our besties 💙

I am so full of love and gratitude for you all. We loved every minute of the birthday celebrations (and more to come :)

Families come in all different shapes and sizes. They change with the passing of time, and teach us lessons we never knew we needed to know 🫶🏻

Remember if you’re just starting out, or in the messy middle of trying for a family, you are not alone.

Your body is strong, it knows exactly what to do. Our ancestors have been doing this for generations. Trust in your ancestors, trust in your strong body, trust in yourself and mostly, trust in the support of family love 🩵✨

Love,
Gwen xo
