Here’s a little rambling reflection from a hyper‑independent superwoman type who thought she could do it all… until she realised she absolutely doesn't have to..
When my husband passed away, I hired a cleaner to help me stay afloat as a solo mum of five. Then, when life felt a bit steadier, I convinced myself I didn’t need the help anymore. Spoiler: I did.
I’m learning to let go of the idea that I have to carry everything alone, to release the hyper‑independence that once kept me going, and to drop the shame of asking for support. Because honestly? Doing it all is overrated.
Support doesn’t make me less capable — it makes me more myself. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book the thing that will lighten your load… this is it.
Go on!
Book it!
I finally listened to a friend’s nudge and booked a deep clean while I’m away, plus a regular slot. More space, more ease, more me
Big hugs,
