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.

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...
