Feeling guilty for changing, growing or simply not being the "old you"? You're not alone. In this episode of From Mum to Me, Keeley sits down with Danielle Barrett-Wyatt, the self-love coach behind Self Love Solves Everything, to talk about guilt, growth, self-compassion and reclaiming your sparkle.

Together we explore:

• Why mums (and anyone in a caring role) feel so much guilt when they change or set new boundaries.
• How generational beliefs and societal pressure shape our self-worth.
• Practical ways to shift from self-criticism to self-kindness, including Danielle's "glimmers vs triggers" technique.
• How small self-care rituals (like earrings on the school run or dancing in your kitchen) can transform your mood and confidence.
• Why crying is a superpower and how to reframe it.
• Letting go of the "I should" mindset and embracing "I could" instead.
• Why loving your past self is key to thriving as your current self.

If you've ever felt lost, stuck or like you're carrying mum guilt around like a handbag, this conversation will leave you inspired, hopeful and armed with tools to start loving who you are right now.

Motherhood doesn't always look the way we imagined it would. Even with years of experience working with children, Helen Buteux found herself overwhelmed, doubting if her best was good enough, and struggling to care for herself alongside caring for her baby.

In this episode, Helen shares her journey from occupational therapist to motherhood, the reality of identity loss, and how she discovered the concept of "matrescence", the transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother.

Together we talk about the pressure to "get it right," the guilt that comes with needing time for yourself, and why it's so important to look after your mental wellbeing as much as your physical health.

We also chat about:

• Why early years development is so powerful and how play shapes resilience
• What to do when mum guilt sneaks in (and why accepting help is not failure)
• Simple ways to rebuild confidence and rediscover who you are after motherhood
• The cultural pressure to "do it all" and why asking for support should feel normal

This conversation is real, relatable, and full of encouragement for mums who feel like they've lost a little bit of themselves along the way.

✨ Remember – you don't need to go back to the old you. You can grow into a new version of yourself who feels stronger, braver, and more confident.

• Knowing when you're helping… or just avoiding your own stuff

Who are you really, beyond being a mum, a job title, or the person forever reheating cups of tea?

In this bite-sized solo episode, Keeley shares a funny but oh-so-relatable story about being put on the spot at a networking event and completely freezing when asked to "tell us about yourself." It sparked a bigger question: why do we always fall back on our roles instead of who we actually are underneath it all.

With a little help (and sass) from her daughter, Keeley explores playful ways to rediscover your true self, like describing yourself as a recipe, picking your three defining emojis, or even writing your own wine label.

If you've ever struggled to introduce yourself without listing your job or family role, this episode is for you. It's about identity, playfulness, and remembering that you are more than the hats you wear.

What you'll hear in this episode: • Why "tell us about yourself" makes so many of us panic • The difference between roles and identity • Playful ways to uncover the real you • How kids see identity differently (cue: dinosaur emojis) • A fun challenge for you: describe yourself as a wine label 🍷✨

Ever felt like you're carrying the emotional equivalent of your entire 'junk drawer'? Same.

In this episode, we're chatting all things letting go – the physical, the emotional, and even that guilt-laced mug from your uni days.

From hoarding snowboards and scribbles to hanging onto relationships and regrets, this one's your permission slip to drop the weight (without the drama). Just quiet, powerful release.

In this episode:

• Why letting go is so hard (hint: fear's got a lot to answer for)
• How our identities get tangled up in old stuff
• What mugs can teach us about emotional baggage
• 3 small, gentle steps to help you start releasing what's no longer serving you

Whether it's mum guilt, an old friendship, or that pair of jeans from 2014, you don't have to carry it anymore.

Your mental junk drawer is overdue a clear-out, and we're doing it together.

Ever thought about trying something new and instantly heard that little voice saying, "But what if I'm rubbish at it?" Yep — me too.

In this episode, I share what happened when I tried surfing for the first time (at 40, in the rain, and in a wetsuit I nearly cried over). From the anxiety leading up to it, to the self-doubt, to watching my daughter voice the exact fears I was secretly holding onto — this story is about more than surfing.

It's about why trying something new as an adult is so hard, how perfectionism and body image hold us back, and why actually showing up is sometimes the biggest win of all.

Whether it's a creative class, a sport, or just something that's been sitting on your "one day" list — this episode is your nudge to stop waiting for confidence to magically appear. You don't have to be good to start. You just need to be brave enough to try.

✨ You'll hear about:

• Why adults are so resistant to trying new things
• How body image, confidence and perfectionism tie into it
• The power of "just showing up"
• Modelling bravery for our kids
• Why it's okay to suck at something and still love doing it

👉 If you've ever told yourself "I can't do that", I hope this helps you realise — you can. And it might even be fun.

Feeling a bit lost lately?

You're not alone — but what if you're not lost, you've just outgrown who you used to be?

In this bite-sized solo episode, I share how motherhood reshaped my identity and how I started finding my way back to myself through creativity (and molten silver).

Come listen if you need a gentle reframe and a nudge of compassion today 💫

In this heartfelt solo episode of From Mum to Me, I'm marking a milestone—I'm turning 40 this week (eek!)—by looking back at the last decade and sharing four big lessons I've learned in my 30s.

From juggling toddlers and sleep deprivation to launching a business from scratch, this episode is a love letter to any mum who's ever wondered if she's doing enough, being enough, or simply… enough.

We chat about:

• Why your energy isn't endless (and how to protect it without guilt)
• The importance of being your own biggest cheerleader
• Why it's never too late to pivot (yes—even after motherhood)
• How to actually enjoy the journey, even in the chaos

Whether you're a new mum in the trenches or navigating a big life shift, this episode is a gentle reminder that you're not alone, and you're doing better than you think. 💫

If you've ever stood in front of your wardrobe thinking "Nothing here feels like me anymore", this episode is for you.

I'm joined by the brilliant Louise Walker from How Not to Hate Your Clothes—a colour and confidence coach helping mums rediscover their identity (and style) through what they wear.

We dive into why so many women feel lost in their wardrobes after motherhood, how your clothes might be chipping away at your confidence without you even realising, and how colour analysis can be a total game changer.

Louise shares why it's not about following trends or shrinking into black leggings forever—but about reconnecting to yourself and how you want to feel.

From the psychology behind colour to the first thing she tells every mum to buy post-colour analysis (spoiler: it's not what you think), this episode is packed with simple, doable ways to feel more like YOU again.

Whether you're running errands or hiding in the loo for five minutes of peace—you'll leave this chat feeling inspired to make getting dressed joyful again.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

• Why we feel lost in our style post-baby
• What colour analysis actually is—and how it works
• The emotional weight hiding in your wardrobe
• The link between colour, confidence, and showing up for yourself
• Why your pyjamas matter more than you think

🛍️ PS: We even chat about how your wardrobe habits could be saying "you don't deserve to feel good"—and how to rewrite that script.
