Motherhood Meets Momentum

After becoming a mum, getting dressed felt foreign to me and I basically lived in leggings and hoodies because I didn't know who I was anymore.

In episode three, I share how I found my style again, and the simple system that helped me get there.

After listening, I would love to know your three words! Comment on this episode, on the Substack, or send me a DM on Instagram @homebodyclub.

When you keep making yourself promises and dropping them, you stop trusting yourself.

I've been there: new month, new reset, new goals aaaanddd by week two real life has got in the way and I've dropped the lot. The unfinished goal sucks, but what it does to your head and confidence is worse.

If you're liking what you're hearing, I would love it if you sent this to a mum friend or left a 5 star review 🫶

In this episode of Motherhood Meets Momentum, I'm talking about why I basically stopped setting goals and doing those big monthly resets, and what I do instead.

In this episode, I chat about…

• Why we break promises to ourselves, and what that does to your self-trust

• The reset obsession, the dopamine hit of starting again, and why committing to the ordinary stuff is harder

• Holding fierce standards for everyone else, and weirdly flexible ones for myself

• One standard that lifted the rest: turning up to powerlifting three times a week, and how food, water, sleep, recovery and organisation had to come up with it

• Goals as milestones and standards as the promise you keep when you're tired

• How to start this week with a new standard

When a mum says she wants more, people hear a bigger house, a bigger job or more stuff. But more can also mean more energy, more mental space, more clarity, or better boundaries. And if you're in survival mode right now, getting through it counts as momentum too.

In the first episode of Motherhood Meets Momentum, I'm talking about what "more" has looked like for me this year as a working toddler mum living with two autoimmune diseases. In this episode, I chat about…

• The kind of "more" people expect mums to want (yes, I'm a bag fiend)
• When survival mode is the momentum, and why that counts
• Going part-time and finding my taste again two years postpartum
• Powerlifting, chasing a 100kg squat, and how momentum looked in my twenties compared to now
• Two things to try this week: name your version of more, and pick one tiny standard for seven days

As mums, we get put in a box where we're allowed to want things for everyone else, but the second we want something for ourselves, the guilt kicks in.

Motherhood Meets Momentum is your permission slip to want more.

I'm Lucy Green, a working toddler mum living with chronic illness, and each week I'm talking about what momentum and growth really look like when your capacity changes, plus the values and systems that help along the way.
