A Mother's Mind

In this episode of the Mindset Mini Series, Ishares one of the most impactful mindset tools I has used. This episode brings everything together with a powerful reminder that personal growth does not have to be complicated When life feels heavy, chaotic, or overwhelming, our brains often default to making things harder than they need to be. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why overwhelm often cause...

In this episode, we’re focusing on a skill that many mums find surprisingly difficult: Asking for support. As women and mothers, we often carry an unspoken belief that we should be able to do it all ourselves. We convince ourselves that asking for help is inconvenient, unnecessary, or somehow a sign that we’re not coping. But what if support was never meant to be a last resort? In this episode, yo...

The conversations we have with ourselves every day shape how we feel, how we show up, and how we move through motherhood. And often, without even realising it, our inner voice can become far harsher than we would ever be with someone we love. In this episode, you will reflect on: - Why your inner talk has such a significant impact on your mindset - How self-criticism quietly chips away at self-tru...

In this second episode of the Mindset Mini Series, I’m inviting you to focus on one simple but powerful question throughout your week. Because so often as moms, we look at our lives and either minimise our role in creating the beautiful parts… or we feel powerless to shift the parts that don’t feel aligned. This episode is about stepping back into the driver’s seat of your own life. In this episod...

In this first episode of the Mindset Mini Series, I’m inviting you to slow down and focus on just one powerful reflective question for the week ahead. Because when life feels full and your mental load feels heavy, personal growth can easily become another thing on the to-do list. So instead of overwhelming you with more information, this mini series is designed to give you one simple mindset focus...

In this episode, I’m inviting you into a really simple but powerful practice that can create immediate lightness in your life… a heaviness audit. This is something I come back to regularly, especially in seasons where things feel full, stretched or just a bit off. Because often, it’s not the big things weighing us down… it’s the quiet, hidden sandbags we’ve gotten so used to carrying that we don’t...

In this episode, I’m sharing a big life update and the mindset lesson that came with it. I’m unpacking why I don’t think optimism is just something you either have or don’t have, and how it can become a skill you build through practice, mindset work and intentional thinking. In this episode, you’ll learn: - What it can look like to move through big life changes with an optimistic mindset - How you...

In this episode, I’m talking about why some of the most powerful work we can do is learning how to sit with the hard emotions. The ones we would usually want to run from, hide from, gloss over or shove down. I’m talking about what it can look like to build emotional resilience as a mum, why this work can feel so uncomfortable, and how allowing emotions to be there can actually feel lighter than co...

In this episode, I’m talking about the impact of context switching and why it can leave you feeling so mentally fried. Lately I have been navigating a big shift in our family rhythm with Freddy starting school, and it has made me so much more aware of just how often I am switching between different roles, responsibilities and headspaces in a single day. I’m sharing what context switching has looke...

In this episode, I’m talking about a lesson that I have had to learn over and over again. Having the courage to be misunderstood. Because when you start getting really intentional about how you want your life to feel, how you want your days to look, and the decisions you make to support that, not everyone is going to understand. And that can feel really uncomfortable. In this episode, I share: - W...

In this episode, I’m talking to you about something that sits right at the core of sharing your mental load. Confidence. Not just confidence in yourself, but confidence in your support team and your ability to actually offload things in a way that works. Because so often, what I hear from moms is this quiet thought sitting underneath everything: “I just don’t trust that it will be done properly.”...

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favourite ways to start a new year. This is an exercise I’ve been doing for years, and every single time I come back to it, I am blown away by how powerful it is. It gives you the space to actually think about what you want without shutting it down before you even begin. In this episode, I walk you through: - The journaling exercise I use at the start of ever...

In this episode, I’m wrapping up 2025 with a warm hug and a simple mindset shift that you can carry into the new year. I’m sharing one small but powerful question to ask yourself over the break. This is something to keep your perfectionist brain from spiralling into “do all the things” mode and help you anchor into something that actually feels doable. In this episode, you’ll learn: - A simple end...

In this episode, I share one simple journaling question that blew my mind and might just blow yours too. It’s one of those sneaky little prompts that I often skip over, especially when things are actually going well. But asking it recently helped me see just how much I’ve been contributing to the life I love and how easily I was brushing past my own effort. In this episode, you’ll learn: - The sim...

In this episode, I’m talking to you about what actually helps you share your mental load in a way that is supported and sustainable, not just short lived. I’m talking beyond the surface level strategies of asking for help or making your load visible. I’m sharing what I’ve seen time and time again in the mums I work with and the deeper skills that makes the biggest difference when it comes to actua...

In this episode, I’m talking about the frustration that comes when you’ve communicated something once… and then it slowly ends up back on your plate. This is your reminder that communicating expectations isn’t a one and done job. Especially when it comes to offloading your mental load in a way that actually lasts. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why sharing your mental load doesn’t always “stick”...

In this episode, I’m talking about overthinking. Something that many mums wrestle with. Whether it’s making a decision, starting something new, or figuring out what’s next, it can be easy to get stuck in the “thinking about it” phase and never actually move forward. I’m talking through the link between perfectionist thinking and overthinking, why it’s not your fault, and how to gently get yourself...

In this episode, I’m talking about something simple yet powerful: creating a happy list for yourself. This idea came from a sweet little moment with my son Freddie, and it reminded me how often we forget what makes us feel calm, lit-up or grounded especially when we are in the thick of motherhood. When we get a moment to ourselves, it can feel impossible to choose something that actually refuels u...

In this episode, I’m walking you through the process of welcoming an au pair into our family. I talk about what led to the decision, how we made it work, and the big (often unexpected) lessons I’ve learned along the way. It’s not just about childcare. This season has brought up big things around capacity, communication, asking for support, and what it means to be resourceful *and* honest about you...

In this episode, I dig into the perfectionism that keeps so many of us in the cycle of waiting, hoping, and building up the longing for the perfect moment… only to freeze when the moment finally arrives. You know that thing you’ve been dreaming about doing (the quiet solo coffee, that creative project, the time to just be?) This episode explores why it can feel easier to long for it than to actual...

This episode is about the best way to be kinder to yourself and how it has nothing to do with bubble baths or slowing down. I talk about the power of giving yourself credit (genuinely, not just as a throwaway) and how to retrain your brain to actually see the good you do each day. I share how this shift is possible for anyone, even if your default right now is self-doubt, harsh inner talk, or cons...

This episode is about a little phrase that gets thrown around a lot… “it is what it is.” I’m talking about the impact this has on how we view our lives, how we settle for things that don’t feel good, and why that matters more than we often realise. This episode is part soapbox, part pep talk and a whole lot of encouragement to question the stories we’ve been handed about how life has to feel. If y...

In this episode, I’m diving into one of my absolute favourite mindset tools. Journaling is something I’ve used for years to help unjumble my thoughts, find clarity, and stay connected to myself through the everyday chaos of motherhood. Lately, I’ve had so many mums tell me they want to journal but feel unsure how to start or what it’s meant to look like. So I’m keeping this episode short and simpl...

In this episode, I’m talking about something that shows up for every single mum I work with…resourcing yourself. I’ve been in a season lately where I’ve felt really under resourced (read: depleted, stretched, frazzled, low on joy). And I’m walking you through what that looks like in real life, how it shows up in sneaky ways, and how I’m choosing to shift back into a more supported, sustainable pla...

This is one to tuck away for the next time you feel unsupported, frustrated, or like you’re doing it all. In this episode, I share a pretty stressy moment from my own life. It’s based on a recent (stressy) life admin moment that totally unravelled in our house. I walk you through how I found myself on the edge of disconnecting (big time), and what shifted when I chose to lean into connection inste...
