Gentle Parenting? That does not mean 'let them do anything they want', and it certainly doesn't mean we are 'soft' as parents practicing this. Gentle Parenting is the topic in this episode as Miranda pulls it all apart and shares some super-practical tips and truths about why you might feel guilt and anxiety around the type of parenting you practice - and why.

Don't know how to parent your under-12 child anymore? Or feeling ALL the overwhelm, anxiety and mental load as you try to juggle everything at once and feeling like you're failing the kids and everyone else, too? Message Miranda at [email protected] to book a Zoom consult.

In this episode, I explore three powerful ways to support and reset your nervous system as a mum managing stress, emotional load, and daily overwhelm. Learn how your mindset, daily habits, and even social media use can affect your nervous system; discover practical tools to stimulate your vagus nerve for calm; and hear why connecting with nature can bring deep emotional healing. If your system feels overloaded, this is your moment to pause, breathe, and bring peace back into your motherhood journey.

If you're a mum, you are 100% aware of the amount of effort, energy, planning and organisation go into cooking your children and family healthy meals. But WOW - that can really snowball over time, leading us into the brain fog and 'didn't we have that two nights ago' moment.

Or, you might end up eating less-than-ideal meals, and setting a bad example to your growing kids.

Regardless of what you choose for meals, though, creating a weekly meal plan means you can really be more prepared and then have mental space in that area instead of mental load.

If you need support when it comes to your own mental load, and someone to chat to who gets it - email me at [email protected] for more information about Zoom consults for mums who need support!
