Hey there, super mum!
Balancing a busy work schedule while managing the unique challenges of raising teens? I get it, it’s like trying to sip a hot coffee in a playground – messy, loud, and rarely successful. And in all this commotion, the bond with your partner might sometimes feel like it's running on low battery.
So, let's get that spark back with some tried-and-true tactics for working mums of teens:
Make the Most of Teen Independence: Remember when a trip to the bathroom without an audience felt like luxury? Now that the kids are older, use those moments when they're engrossed in their world. Maybe it's a spontaneous dance in the kitchen while they're on their gadgets or a quick coffee date while they're at their after-school activities. Embrace those pockets of freedom!
Date Night at Home: No babysitter needed? Perfect! How about a home-cooked dinner (or takeout – no judgment here) and a movie night at home? Don't forget to set the ambiance – soft...

Motherhood is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences you can have in life. However, it also comes with its fair share of stress and challenges that you need to learn to manage to prevent burnout.
As a busy mum, your plate is always full, and demands of work, family, health and just LIFE may seem overwhelming at times. But this doesn't have to be the case - there are ways to manage stress and avoid burnout. Here are ways you can tap into your LIFE FORCE energy and things that you can implement to help you stress less, stay motivated, and avoid exhaustion.
1. Set Aside Time for "Me Time"
As a mom, it's easy to prioritise everyone else's needs above your own. However, it's essential that you carve out a portion of your day dedicated to taking care of yourself. This can be as simple as twenty minutes to read a book, take a relaxing bath, or whatever else makes you happy. Please make sure you communicate your needs with your family, you will need their...
Listen up, mamas!
We need to talk about something that's been weighing on your minds: feelings of guilt, shame, or judgment for putting yourselves first. As mothers, we're often expected to put everyone else's needs before our own, but it's time to change that narrative. In this blog post, I'll share my three key Tips for navigating those negative feelings and how you can start to create change.
Let's get one thing straight - taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary. You can't pour from an empty cup, so prioritising your own needs and wellbeing is crucial. One of my clients, let's call her Sarah, used to feel guilty whenever she took time for herself. But after months of feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, she realised that she needed to make self-care a priority. She started small, taking just a few minutes each day for herself, and gradually built up from there. By prioritising herself, she was able to show up as...
As mums, it's only natural to put your children's needs first. However, constantly people pleasing as a mother can have negative impacts on your life. If you are always focused on pleasing others, you may be neglecting your own needs and desires. This can lead to unhappiness, lack of fulfilment, and even resentment towards your loved ones.
Here are some ways that people pleasing as a mum can hold you back:
Mothers who are always focused on pleasing others may find themselves losing sight of their own identity. They may feel like they have given up their own interests and passions in order to prioritise the needs of their family. This can lead to feelings of confusion, dissatisfaction with life and a lack of purpose.
The constant effort to please others can also lead to burnout. As a mother, your responsibilities are seemingly endless. Without taking breaks, you may find yourself feeling mentally and physically exhausted.
Another issue...
As busy, multitasking mothers, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.
We take care of our children, run the household, and often hold down a job. It's exhausting, isn't it? What you've got to realise is that the key to balancing your life lies in setting healthy boundaries. Without them, you are risking burnout, and that can be disastrous for yourself and your family.
I want to share how not having healthy boundaries in place is creating burnout in mums... and I have been there myself...
Firstly, ignoring your boundaries pressures you to do more than you can handle. It's easy to get trapped in the cycle of trying to do everything and then feeling guilty for not accomplishing enough. The result? Burnout. By setting healthy boundaries, you're giving yourself permission to say no, delegate tasks, or ask for help. Easier said than done, I know... but start small and you will soon become more comfortable and confident.
Secondly, not defining your boundaries...
MUMS, listen up! Are you living a life of complacency?
If you have found this blog, I think it's time to take a hard look at your life and find out. As a proud mother, it's easy to get swept up in the routine of caring for your children, their needs, and their activities, setting your own aspirations and goals aside. But are you truly living the life you envisioned for yourself? It's time to dig deep and identify if you're living in complacency, and I'm going to tell you how.
First off, have you lost touch with your passions? I know firsthand how easy it is to forget the things we love as we focus on our family. But let me tell you, abandoning your passions is like abandoning a piece of your soul. Don't let that happen. Make time for the things you love, whether it's painting, running, or cooking. Take an hour or two each week and indulge in your passion. Trust me, you'll feel more fulfilled and happier for it.
Secondly, are you stuck in a monotonous routine? Believe me, there's...
