should I just delete everything??? I got so close to deleting the hot mum era for good… but I am still here!! and this is why. 09.06.2026 28:42

My worst Youtube video EVER, starting a whole new instagram, and feeling scared of having a brand called "Hot Mum Era" if my colleagues ever found out. After a crappy week, I was literally considering getting rid of everything. Should I just... forget about? Give up and stick to my day job? That would be the easiest thing to do. Or would it?

21. being a working mum, dealing with daily fatigue... and then making a mistake on a patient. 😮‍💨 and what I'm doing about it 23.05.2026 33:33

Managing fatigue at work because I'm a mother to 3 small children is not for the faint-hearted. And then at work last week, the worst happened... I made a mistake on a patient. Thankfully she is fine, everything got sorted out, but I lost hours of sleep over it, and it actually helped me to further accept my fatigue, instead of denying it and pretending I'm okay. Because that's actually when the w...

20. I thought I needed more money to make me less stressed as a mum, instead *this* is what I needed 💸💸 16.05.2026 31:45

Money has always been so stressful for me for as long as I can remember - and then becoming a mum just meant it was even worse. I always had to rely on Afterpay, I'd barely get through a fortnight trying to pay for everything, but what I was so confused about was that for a mum, I'm always working SO hard, so why am I always running out of money? If only I just had an extra $100-200 a fortnight to...

19. how having no family around means that no one is there to support you through those big life chapters (kids, weddings...) 10.05.2026 31:40

This week I just felt *off* like... flat. And when I talked to my sister, who has just gotten engaged a couple of months ago, we realised we were both feeling the same vibes of the sadness that comes with not having family around in your day to day life to support you through those big life events (or chapters - because planning a wedding can take months, and having children, well - that goes for...

18. this time last year I was in survival mode... and now I don't even need to clean every week. Capacity changes with our seasons 🤍 03.05.2026 28:30

I used to freak out when we would have busy days, or busy seasons, at full capacity - to the point I couldn't even clean up after dinner or at least before I went to bed. I would have thoughts like - "is this just my life now?!" and honestly? The answer is NO. This is not about pressuring ourselves to "be better" - better at cleaning, better at keeping up, or the opposite - better at letting go of...

17. a special ep: sometimes "going for it" in your life doesn't look like fireworks or a Hollywood movie moment... it's little lights along the way ✨ 25.04.2026 33:05

I always dreamed of quitting my job and having that classic movie moment where I could hand in my resignation, feeling fed up, tell my boss where to go, and walk out feeling super confident and free, going home to a thriving online business. But... the past 6 years have taught me that the more I dreamt of that, the more I resented my job, and the more I was DESPERATE for something to "work" online...

16. what to do when you feel overwhelmed like everything is just TOO MUCH for you to handle - my guiding principle I always come back to. 😇 16.04.2026 34:06

You know those days when you can't be bothered to be a mum? Literally everything feels like too much, it all feels too hard, and you would much rather collapse on the couch with some pancakes than deal with your own children? It’s those days where I always come back to my favourite guiding principle: NAIL. THE. BASICS. If you ran a pub, but you didn’t nail the basics (cold beer, good food, good at...

15. comparisonitis: what's wrong with me? Why is she doing better at this than me... then remembering why 🤍 09.04.2026 23:58

When we compare ourselves to other mums, we ALWAYS come up short. It is so easy to look at someone's snapshot of their day, and quickly assume we are not doing as well at being a mum as they are. We know that. But... it still feels shit. So in this episode, we talk about how to navigate that feeling, and what to do when it comes up.

14. here is your permission slip to do something for YOU because it's going to ✨empower✨ your children (and yourself) and shape their lives. 08.04.2026 30:59

In this episode we talk about how by self-actualising, you are giving your children a family culture that will build them up and ground them throughout their lives.

11. I forgot to take my own medicine and I almost nearly burnt myself out (again)... oops 😅 11.03.2026 25:04

Snapping and "losing it" 3 times in the space of a few weeks is firstly not nice for my family, and not a good sign of being exactly mentally healthy for me... plus, if I really am exhausted, I don't exactly have pregnancy to blame this time around (thanks Mirena lol)! So I had to face the facts, look at ways I was going overboard and over-extending myself in my role as a mum, and decide to take t...

8. when you feel exhausted from doing "nothing" all day with your child, and find yourself longing for more... 21.02.2026 36:29

In this episode we talk about the burnout that comes from longing for more — more space, more freedoms, more travel or even just more self-care - even when you love your kids. I explore how wanting more space, creativity, or identity outside motherhood can feel exhausting when we suppress it, and share simple ways to honor that feeling, create small freedoms, and drop the guilt.

7. perfectionism and the pressure to be a "good mum" is actually not it 👀 18.02.2026 38:22

We're not just tired - we're exhausted from always striving to meet society's standards of what being a "good mum" looks like. But where does that even come from? In this episode, we look at pressures that come from the generations before us, but also comparisonitis, and even just the love of our children that make us feel like we need to constantly be doing "better" - but why that actually isn't...

6. why mums burn out: the hidden weight of feeling alone in motherhood 🤍 08.02.2026 38:33

In this episode, we're talking about the emotional depletion from parenting alone, and being lonely, causing us to carry too much of the load by ourselves. It is quite possibly the biggest reason mums feel burnt out in this generation of raising children. Burnout isn't always about doing too much - it's often about having too little support while you do it. Download your FREE 7-Day Toolkit For Mum...
